Here’s why #ShadabKhan and #ShaheenAfridi should feature in the final T20 of the #PakvsNZ series today. With New Zealand already leading 3-1 in the five-match series, the game is a dead rubber, but it still holds significance for Pakistan as they look to end the series on a high.

Both #ShadabKhan and #ShaheenAfridi have endured a disappointing series yet again, raising serious doubts about their place in the playing XI. However, with Pakistan already out of contention, giving the senior pros one last opportunity makes sense. The final game offers a low-pressure environment, allowing them a chance to prove their worth and reclaim their spot in the squad.

Nevertheless, if they fail to deliver once again—especially in Shadab Khan’s case—Pakistan must seriously consider sidelining them for an extended period. This would allow them the necessary time to regain form, work on their fitness, and address technical flaws without the pressure of international cricket. A break could also create opportunities for younger, in-form players to step up and strengthen the squad. If Pakistan is to build a competitive team for the future, tough decisions may be required.
