KARACHI: Seeking to improve bench strength, Pakistan’s newly-appointed interim chief selector Shahid Afridi said that he wants to create two teams for the men’s national side.
Talking to media persons in Karachi — the former captain and flamboyant all-rounder of his era — Afridi said he wants to implement this idea before his tenure ends.
During the press conference, Afridi also highlighted a “communication gap” as one of the major issues the Pakistan cricket team is facing, insisting that the chief selector should be in direct contact with individual players to be aware of their positions properly.
Afridi said that when he spoke to Fakhar Zaman and Haris Sohail personally, he got to know a clear picture of the players. The duo was added to Pakistan’s probable three-match ODI series against New Zealand.
