Playing for Pakistan has become too easy, laments Shahid Afridi
Speaking at a function, Afridi hit out at the selection policy adopted for the national team for red and white ball formats.
He was particularly critical of the way players were changed and debuted in the Pakistan white balls squads.
“It has become so easy to play for the national team whereas in the past playing for the Pakistan team was the ultimate for any professional cricketer,” Afridi said.
He said the pathway into the Pakistan team had become so easy that even players with little domestic cricket exposure were rushed into the side and then dropped and shunned in the same way.
“That is why our performances are not consistent with the amount of cricket we play in Pakistan.”
The popular all-rounder felt that each player must be given at least two or three years exposure in the domestic circuit before he is considered for the national squad.
