However, the PCB has been dealt with another blow just before the Champions Trophy. Sardar Muhammad Bakhsh Mahar, who is Sindh's provincial sports minister, has accused the PCB of discriminating against the players of his province.
While speaking at the opening of the provincial youth conference, Sardar Muhammad Bakhsh Mahar expressed deep concerns over the treatment of Sindh's players in the Pakistan cricket team. According to Express News, Mahar felt that the cricketers from this province were not given a chance in the national team.
Mahar believes that Sindh had many talented players who had the ability to make it to the national team but were not given enough chances by the country's cricket board. As a result, they didn't play much despite enormous talent.
Big surprises in the Pakistan squad
Meanwhile, Pakistan recently announced its squad for the Champions Trophy 2025 and became the last team among the participating nations to do so. The squad will be led by the wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan, under whom the team won the ODI series in Australia and South Africa.
Fakhar Zaman returns to the team
Opener Fakhar Zaman returns to the team after a long time. He was dropped from the ODI team for indiscipline in which he slammed the PCB of a selection decision related to Babar Azam. However, Zaman finds his way back into the team after the injury to Saim Ayub.
Apart from Fakhar Zaman, Faheem Ashraf and Saud Shakeel are also returning to the team after a long time. Ashraf's last ODI was way back in Asia Cup 2023 while Shakeel had last played an ODI during the World Cup 2023.
