\u2018I don\u2019t consider Agha Salman as a player, he\u2019s a waste of time. Even I can score the number of runs he scores. He only scores when Pakistan has already scored a lot of runs as a team\u2019 \u2013 Mohammad Asif \ud83d\udc40#CWC23<\/a> #WorldCup2023<\/a><\/p>\n

The media reports predicted that, due to his flop show, Shadab Khan would get dropped for the ODI World Cup, but surprisingly he managed to keep his place along with Agha Salman, who also failed to deliver as he failed to take any wicket and scored only 40 runs in four matches in the Asia Cup 2023.<\/p>\n

Following the team announcement, the former Pakistani pacer Muhammad Asif strongly criticised the selection of Agha Salman, saying he doesn\u2019t even consider him a player.<\/p>\n

Asif stated that Agha Salman only scores when Pakistan is already in a good position as a team, he called agha a waste of time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t consider Agha Salman as a player, he\u2019s a waste of time. Even I can score the number of runs he scores. He only scores when Pakistan has already scored a lot of runs as a team,\u201d Asif was quoted as saying by a journalist Farid Khan.<\/p>\n

While talking about the current pace attack of Pakistan, the former Pakistani fast bowler \u2013 Muhammad Asif \u2013 shared his opinion stated that, \u201cthe bowlers selected in the World Cup squads are average, there is no one special.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
