Controversial Moves Amid Pakistan Cricket's Turmoil

Former Test player Asad Shafiq has joined a T10 league in the USA during Pakistan's cricket crisis, notably after a historic defeat to England. Despite leaving for the USA, he remains involved in national team selection. The PCB is criticized for permitting his participation amid ongoing team struggles.

Asad Shafiq, a former Test player and current Pakistani selector, is participating in the USA's T10 league amid Pakistan's cricket crisis. The national team recently faced a historic defeat against England in Multan, becoming the first team to lose a Test after scoring 500 plus in the first innings.

Shafiq journeyed to Dallas on October 4 for this league with the Pakistan Cricket Board's permission, all while remaining involved in selection matters online. The presence of notable players like Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Hafeez, and Wahab Riaz adds intrigue to the scenario.

Criticism has mounted against the PCB for allowing such moves during the crisis, which includes a significant home loss to Bangladesh. The board swiftly added former players Azhar Ali, Aaqib Javed, and umpire Aleem Dar to the national selection committee following the team's recent setbacks.
