In a surprising turn of events, former Pakistani cricketer Ahmad Shahzad has accused the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) of using his name to create pre-hype for the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10. Shahzad, who has represented Pakistan in multiple formats, expressed his frustration over being linked to the league without any prior discussions or agreements.
The cricketer claimed that the PCB made several attempts to generate buzz around his potential participation in PSL 10, only for him to clarify that he was not in negotiations to join the tournament. Shahzad took to social media, where he criticized the board for exploiting his name to enhance the league’s visibility ahead of its season.
The 33-year-old went on to share that he was not informed or involved in any formal conversations with the PCB regarding his inclusion, and such tactics were misleading for fans and the media. He further expressed his desire for a professional approach towards players, stating that such actions only damage relationships within the cricketing community.
The PCB has yet to respond to Shahzad’s claims. Fans of the cricketer and the league are waiting for further clarifications from both parties as the new season draws closer.
