Shami made this comment on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel.
Indian cricket team’s experienced fast bowler Mohammed Shami recently made a big statement regarding the selection of the Pakistan cricket team. In this statement, Shami raised questions on former Pakistani player and selector Inzamam-ul-Haq. Shami said that he was biased in the selection of his nephew Imam-ul-Haq in the team.
Shami made this statement while speaking in a podcast of Shubhankar Mishra, “I don’t understand why people feel the need to target others (India). Improve your selection, and send a good team. They can do this, because the talent is present in them. But they should do one thing, if you want to run a team based on personal relationships, then make it a family team.”
On the other hand, now this statement of Shami has not been liked by former Pakistan cricket team opener and captain Salman Butt, and he has given a big reaction. Butt says that Imam’s selection has been done on the basis of his performance, not because his uncle was a selector.
Salman Butt gave a big statement
Let us tell you that after this reaction of Mohammad Shami, Salman Butt said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – Pakistan should not select teams on the basis of relationships and friendship. Mohammad Shami’s comment was made targeting Inzamam-ul-Haq. But I think the statement about him selecting the team on the basis of personal relations is wrong.
Butt further said – This is a wrong statement, because if you look at Imam’s records, he came into the Pakistan team on the basis of his performance, not because of any relationship. He was dropped from the team after his performance flopped. Shami’s comment on Inzamam was against decorum, and he should not say such things.
