Within the midst of this, a stunning side was identified by former Pakistan star pacer Wasim Akram concerning PCB selectors in a chat present which additionally has former India cricketers Ajay Jadeja and Nikhil Chopra.
“Aapke waha first-class cricketer nahin hai? jo selector hain (Don’t selectors at least have to be first class players in Pakistan)?” Ajay Jadeja requested.
“At least they should play minimum number of games!” Nikhil Chopra, one other former Indian cricketer, mentioned.
“Are you trying to tell me that a national selector in Pakistan has not even played First-Class cricket?” Jadeja requested once more.
“There was a selector, who was a bureaucrat, and was part of the selection committee till about six months ago. Now there is an umpire, but he has played first-class cricket. There is one guy who specialises with stats. I mean why do you needs a stats guy? Will you play with a computer on the ground?” Wasim Akram replied.
“If you are selecting players on stats, then you are not ‘selecting’ you are only rejecting. The job of the selector is to see what you are going to wirk with. When we or you were picked we may not have the best stats in the world. If you see a player, and you feel that this guy cane be better in the next months, that’s what a selector can do. Stas can’t tell you do,” Jadeja opined.
“Stats can’t tell you the situation, the on ground reality,” Akram then replied.
