Ahmed Shehzad: PCB is spending Rs. 50 lakh on mentors who do nothing

Ahmed Shehzad, who used to be the opening batsman for the national cricket team, has decided not to play in the Champions Cup.

In a press conference in Lahore with Olympian Arshad Nadeem, Ahmed Shehzad said, “I have decided not to play in the Champions Cup.”

He said it was wrong for the Pakistan Cricket Board to make false claims, show favouritism, and be unfair to domestic players. PCB gives 5 million rupees to coaches who don’t do anything.

Ahmed Shehzad also said, “There are many young people like Arshad Nadeem who need help. I can’t support PCB’s system, which doesn’t value merit.” I am no longer a part of the PCB scheme, and I will not play in the Champions Cup.

He said that Arshad Nadeem is Pakistan’s biggest star right now and that the country doesn’t lack ability, just facilities.
