    Ramiz Raja not happy with Misbah’s selection

    Former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja is disappointed with the 20 probables selected by head coach-cum-chief selector Misbahul Haq for the upcoming T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka.

    While speaking in a Youtube video, the famous commentator has criticised Misbah for implementing a safety first approach in his selection.

    He said, “It was disappointing to see no new name or experimentation from Misbah, despite playing against a second-string Sri Lanka side,” adding that Misbah is playing safe as it is his first big assignment and is opting for tried and tested players.

    Ramiz Raja believes that Men in Green needs out of the box thinking with regards to the future.

    “You could have invited around four to five players to this camp, who you think are talented and have what it takes to serve Pakistan in future,” he added. “Instead, those players have been recalled who have been playing for Pakistan for last 10 years and we are aware of their potential and limitations.”
