Shahid Afridi, who has recently taken over the responsibility of the selector, has issued a unique decree for the selection of the team. The condition of selection he has put in T20 cricket is regarding the strike rate.
Shahid Afridi,”It is necessary to have a strike rate of more than 135 in domestic cricket” :-
Cricket Pakistan quoted Afridi as saying “No batsman will be selected in T20s for Pakistan, who does not have a strike rate of more than 135 in domestic cricket.
Afridi has made it clear that he wants a strike rate of more than 135 in domestic T20 cricket. But it was not said whether this rule would apply to the national team as well. Let us tell you that there was a lot of criticism regarding the batting approach of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in the recent T20 World Cup.
