Junaid Khan Slams Imam-ul-Haq

Junaid Khan slammed Imam-ul-Haq for his comments on the selection of Iftikhar Ahmed and Haris Sohail. It is worth mentioning here the fact that the opening batter while answering a question during the recently concluded #PAKvsNZ ODI series said that there was no need for middle-order batters like Iftikhar and Haris in the world cup squad.

Junaid Khan Comes Down Hard On Imam-ul-Haq

Cricket Pakistan while quoting Junaid reported him as saying, “When Imam wasn’t a part of the World Cup squad, he used to sit on television and share his analysis, which in my opinion, is wrong – PCB shouldn’t have permitted that.

Iftikhar Ahmed performed exceptionally well after the comments and was among the country’s best batters during the last two ODIs for the #PAKvNZ series. Imam on the other hand was rested and Shan Masood was played instead who wasn’t able to impress much.
