The controversy arises as 23-year-old Shaheen Afridi is set to miss the final Test against Australia in Sydney and has been rested ahead of the T20I series against New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Bazid Khan, the son of legendary Pakistan captain Majid Khan, pointed out the apparent hypocrisy in the PCB\u2019s approach. He highlighted that the PCB had expressed disappointment when Haris Rauf chose T20s over Tests due to workload concerns. However, now the board itself is resting its premier fast bowler, Shaheen Afridi, for T20Is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPCB were so disappointed when Haris Rauf refused to play Tests because he wanted to play T20s instead. Now PCB themselves rest their premier fast bowler so that he can play T20Is,\u201d wrote Bazid Khan.<\/p>\n<p>The criticism against the PCB\u2019s handling of fast bowlers intensified when Pakistan chief selector Wahab Riaz, during the announcement of the squad for the Australia Tests, had criticized Haris Rauf for opting out of the Test squad citing workload issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaris Rauf was initially picked for the tour but he refused to partake in it, citing workload concerns. We spoke to Haris about this tour two days ago, and he gave his consent to playing Tests for Pakistan. However, he changed his mind last night and didn\u2019t want to be a part of this Australia Test series,\u201d Wahab had stated.<\/p>\n<p>Shaheen Afridi, who has bowled 305 overs in international cricket, will be replaced by spinner Sajid Khan for the third and final Test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Saim Ayub will make his debut, replacing opener Imam-ul-Haq in the lineup.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy has raised questions about the consistency and fairness of the PCB\u2019s policies regarding player workload and format preferences, as highlighted by Bazid Khan.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/FotoJet-68-1-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"Nadal Edges Closer to Matching Djokovic Record\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Nadal Edges Closer to Matching Djokovic Record<\/h5>\n<p>Nadal&#8217;s 1069th win moves him to 4th all-time, passing Lendl.
