How Did Pakistan Cricket Team Selectors Ignored Sahibzada Farhan?
It is a mystery to every Pakistani cricket fans that how Sahibzada Farhan was ignored and Hassan Nawaz or other debutants were selected and bypassed him. To be honest, Mohammad Harris is a good selection for the T20 side, and he is an impact player for Pakistan, which Pakistan desperately requires at the moment. Sahibzada Farhan has scored a total of four centuries in the past 12 months, and he has become a sensational media highlight.
Sahibzada Farhan last night showed the entire PCB management that they are not selecting the right players, which is the major reason why Pakistan is ranked the bottom team now. Sahibzada Farhan has played 9 to 10 matches for the national team, but it is not a long run to justify or end his career. There are many players who, given beyond 30 matches, even though they all knew the result would be a failure and the player would be dropped later, like Muhammad Nawaz.
Sahibzada Farhan has everything that Pakistan requires to win the T20 WC 2026, and he is the best chance for the PCB to make amends with fans and media. Sahibzada Farhan's impact yesterday has raised more questions than answers about how the PCB ignored players like Sahibzada Farhan and selected those players who do not have a proper record of playing first-class or domestic. It is hoped that the selectors now understand that, for T20 matches, it does not require an anchor or playing slow innings to keep wickets in hand; in fact, now it requires only a Sahibzada Farhan-kind of innings.
PCB has a good chance to make a comeback and adjust Sahibzada Farhan, while Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman are already confirmed to be part of the upcoming Bangladesh T20 series. It will be worth seeing how the PCB will manage this and at what order Sahibzada Farhan can have a go at playing 11 for Pakistan's T20 side.
