In a recent development, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chief has clarified the reason behind the omission of star opener Fakhar Zaman from the central contracts list. Addressing media queries, the PCB Chief explained that Fakhar’s recent inconsistent performances and fitness challenges were factors in the decision to not include him in the contracts. The board emphasized its commitment to performance-based selections, aiming to encourage players to maintain form and fitness.
The PCB Chief also highlighted that Fakhar remains an important player and could be reconsidered if he demonstrates improvement. This move, the board believes, will motivate players to push harder to earn their place in the national team setup.
