KARACHI: Pakistan’s legendary cricketer Mohammad Yousuf has slammed the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchises for ignoring ‘Man of Crises’ Younus Khan from the opening edition of the T20 league.
Mohammad Yousuf claimed that there were no gains to be made from the event except financial. A often controversial and outspoken TV expert minced no words in stating that players with solid technique and temperament were deliberately snubbed by team owners.
While speaking to The Express Tribune, the 90-Test match veteran said that “By ignoring Younus a strong message has been sent to upcoming players that their performance in the longer formats doesn’t matter much.”
“Players with solid records have been left out; Asad Shafiq with eight Test centuries already had to settle for a measly $25,000 contract,” he argued.
