This might just be the worst team of consultants ever formed, in all of cricket, so much so that Rao stands out. No place for a former Test captain who sold his country on the job, at Lord's of all places. Just my opinion.
🚨 Kamran Akmal, Rao Iftikhar Anjum and Salman Butt have been named consultants to Chief Selector Wahab Riaz.
The first assignment of the new men's national selection committee will be to select the squad for the 5 T20Is against New Zealand.

He may well have a good cricketing brain, but I would never involve a former captain who sold his nation for a few thousand quid, on the job. The integrity of the current lot is sacrosanct, and must remain that way, in my humble opinion.
Pakistan need to somehow get Salman Butt involved within the Pakistan cricket management. After hearing him on commentary I have no doubt he has the best cricketing brain in Pakistan.

He's been called a statpadder. He's been called selfish. Meanwhile, his teammate dispels any such notions, giving us a glimpse into Babar's brain. He makes mistakes, yes, and should be criticized for them, like any other human being, but deserves to be credited where it's due.
"Babar was telling me to take singles and doubles and to focus on playing a long innings. He said if risks are needed, he'll take them, because if I stayed there, they wouldn't be able to bowl the left-arm spinner, and we would disrupt their plans." – Fakhar Zaman
