T20 World Cup is starting from 1 June Shadab Khan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricket team captain and well-known cricket commentator Rameez Raja has made a big statement about Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan. It is worth noting that before the T20 World Cup 2024, Shadab has failed to make an impact with his performance. Shadab’s performance in the recent four-match T20 series against England was disappointing. Rameez says that Shadab has wasted the opportunities he got at number 5 in the Pakistani team and if he has to be benched in the T20 World Cup, then so be it. In the two matches played against England, Shadab was able to score only 3 runs, while he was out on a duck once. Before T20 World Cup 2024, Rameez Raja made a big statement about Shadab Khan Let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, Rameez Raja said about Shadab Khan through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The middle order batting flopped in the fourth T20 match against England, due to which there was a shortage of runs and we lost the match. Imad Wasim should be selected for all the matches. You can promote Sam Ayub in batting, because Shadab does not fit at number 5. He has missed the opportunities he got at this number. Rameez further said- If a proper batsman comes at number 5, then Pakistan cricket team will get more balance. I do not understand what is Shadab’s role in the team. He is not able to perform at number 5 and is out of form. If you have to bench Shadab then do it. Number 7 can be his best batting order, he tries to play like a slugger. Pakistan Cricket Team for T20 World Cup 2024: Babar Azam (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Iftikhan Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Usman Khan.

He further said, we discussed in the last show that I was worried that they will get tired and they will be tired, no doubt about it. Even America is not their route. If I remember, Pakistan’s first match is Dallas. Now they will go there and play one or two practice matches. It will be fine. I think it is T20. The boys will recover and the fitness level is also very high nowadays.

Fans and cricket experts criticized this a lot and said that there was a place for Rinku Singh in the team. In this series, former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has raised questions on the BCCI selectors for excluding Rinku. Recently Danish Kaneria said that Rinku should have been a part of the team. He believes that Hardik Pandya of Mumbai Indians (MI) should have been out and that is because his form in the current IPL is very poor. Dubey and Rinku would have been a powerful combination for India – Danish Kaneria Kaneria told in an interview with Sports Now, if I look at the current IPL performance, Hardik Pandya should have been out. He has not shown consistency. As far as Rinku is concerned, I also think that she should have been a part of India’s T20 World Cup team. He further said that you already have Shivam Dubey, who is performing well for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Overall the team is looking good, but Dubey and Rinku would have been a powerful combination for India in the lower order. Both Hardik and Rinku have flopped in IPL 2024. Talking about Hardik Pandya’s recent IPL performance, it has not been that good. He has scored only 198 runs in 11 matches at an average of 19.80.
