Pakistan Cricket: The Pakistan team for the T20 World Cup 2022 has been announced. Immediately after the announcement of the team, there was a stir in Pakistan. Pakistani selectors have kept almost the same team, which was playing in the Asia Cup 2022 and also lost badly. Meanwhile, questions are being raised about the players who have been selected in the team and the players who have not been selected. Babar Azam has been made the captain of the Pakistani team again and Shadab Khan will be the vice-captain. But it seems that Pakistan is busy destroying the careers of its own two former captains. The way the team is being selected, they are predicting something similar.

Shoaib Malik did not get the place again

Shoaib Malik has not been given a place in the team of Pakistan which has been selected for the World Cup 2022. He was also not in the squad for the Asia Cup 2022. Shoaib Malik is the player who has played for Pakistan for a long time. He was also playing in that match when Pakistan played their first T20 International against England. He played his last T20 match for Pakistan on 20 November 2021. Since then he has not been included in the Pakistani team. But as the Asia Cup 2022 and T20 World Cup 2022 was approaching, he was dropped from the team. In the Asia Cup 2022, when the Pakistani team was defeated by Sri Lanka in the final, he had also made a tweet, in which he spoke his heart and targeted Pakistan cricket in gestures.
