    PCB selection committee approaches Muhammad Amir, claims senior journalist

    The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) selection committe has approached fast bowler Muhammad Amir, asking about his availability for ODI cricket, journalist Aijaz Waseem Bukhari has claimed.

    Talking on his YouTube channel BBN Sports, he said, “Yesterday, I informed you that Muhammad Rizwan would be the captain. Today, there’s more news regarding the Pakistan-Australia series. The selection committee has made an important decision: senior players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah, who were dropped during the Bangladesh-England series due to poor performances, will likely be part of the squad for the challenging Australian tour.”

    “Australia is a strong team, especially on their home ground, and considering the current fragile state of Pakistan cricket, the selection committee feels it’s risky to send a young and inexperienced squad to face them. After the Australia tour, Pakistan will play Zimbabwe, where younger players are expected to get their chance”, he added.

    Talking about Muhammad Amir’s inclusion in the team, he said, “PCB selection committee is in contact with Muhammad Amir about his potential return to ODI cricket. A key update is that while Shadab Khan is being rested, some players, such as Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Haris, are likely to be part of the squad.”

    The Pakistan cricket team has to go on a tour of Australia next month for a white ball series.

    After the Australia tour, Pakistan will play three ODI and three T20 matches with Zimbabwe.

    Muhammad Amir wins hearts with message defending Babar Azam

    After Pakistan’s Test win against England in Multan, Pakistani fast bowler Muhammad Amir came forward to support former captain Babar Azam.

    Babar Azam was intensely criticised online after Pakistan’s win, with internet trolls citing his absence from the team as the reason for Pakistan’s win. The 30-year-old has been under constant scrutiny following his recent failures with the bat.

    Amidst the growing backlash, Babar received unexpected support from Amir, who advised the public to desist from this vile practice.

    The left-arm fast bowler wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Please stop this nonsense that Babar was not in the team, so the team won. We played with a better plan, took advantage of home conditions and won. Please don’t get personal with your players; yes, talk about the performance, but don’t get personal.”

    He was possibly referring to Shoaib Jatt in his tweet, who has been critical of Babar Azam for a long time and attributed the 30-year-old batsman’s absence to Pakistan’s win.

    Babar is currently out of the national team after being dropped for the remainder of the England series but is expected to be back in the squad ready for the tour of Australia.
