Sehwag questions inclusion of Mohammad Amir into Pakistan’s T-20 squad

Former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag has been consistently critical of Pakistani cricketers. He had earlier remarked that Pakistani captain Babar Azam did not deserve a spot in the play 11. He has now voiced out his opinion about the inclusion of Mohammad Amir who had drifted away from the squad following a confrontation with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). “Wahab Riaz and Mohammad Amir, these are two names who criticised the Pakistan team on the same TV channel, giving their comments...Today, one of them is a selector and one is in the playing eleven. So the same persons who were criticising, if today they have power, became the selector, what have they done first up? 'Mohammad Amir was with me, let's select him',” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.

Sehwag also used the opportunity to highlight the role of a selector. He provided a hypothetical example of the Indian selector Ajit Agarkar to highlight the absurdity of the situation. “It's like if Ajit Agarkar is chairman today, he will say 'come Viru, come Zak (Zaheer Khan)', I will facilitate your comeback. You have become a selector, you have to look at the future. You have a job, make the right use of it, don't do favours. That hard step selectors will have to take,” Sehwag added.
