Why Was #SajidKhan Dropped For The #PakvsSA Series?

Aaqib Javed while explaining the decision said, “We have adopted a horses for courses policy to ensure all three squads are well-balanced and capable of performing strongly in South Africa. Leaving out Sajid Khan, despite his stellar performances against England, was an extremely tough and difficult decision. However, considering the pace-friendly conditions at Centurion and in Cape Town, we opted for Abbas instead, who is an outstanding exponent of seam bowling.”
