Insaan ke bacche ban jaaye toh behetar hai’: Afridi’s hard-hitting remark on national TV over Pakistan selection debate.
Insaan ke bacche ban jaaye toh behetar hai: Shahid Afridi, a former all-rounder for the Pakistan National Cricket Team, was recently questioned about the controversy surrounding the selection of the squad for the Pakistan National Cricket Team.
In response, he stated that the primary issue in Pakistan is how politics has permeated every aspect of life in that country.
Recent events saw the Pakistan National Cricket Team lose to the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team in the second Test match of the two-match Test series by 246 runs.
The match was part of a two-match Test series. The squad had won the first test match that Babar Azam captained by a score of four wickets, and when it was all said and done in Galle, the test series had ended with a 1-1 tie.
The Pakistani batting lineup took a tremendous beating after their loss in the second test match, which led to a substantial amount of criticism being leveled against them.
This was since just two of their batters, Babar Azam and Agha Salman, managed to achieve a fifty during either of the two innings played in the match.
Since he made a century in the second Test match against Australia, the top wicketkeeper-batsman for Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan, has not been able to produce many runs for his team.
This is particularly problematic for Pakistan. In contrast, he only scored 24 and 37 runs in the second test match that Sri Lanka played against him. Sarfaraz Ahmed, a former captain of the Pakistani cricket team, was listed on the squad sheet for the two-test series that Pakistan played against Sri Lanka; however, he was not considered for selection.
Afridi
Afridi, a former captain of Pakistan’s national cricket team, stated that Rizwan has not been able to play effectively in recent times and that a certain degree of pressure needs to be placed on him so that he may be more careful about how he performs.
Afridi also stated that a certain degree of pressure needs to be placed on him so that he may be more careful about how he performs. He continued by stating that it was possible that Sarfaraz could have been given a chance to play during the trip to Sri Lanka, but it was unlikely that this would have occurred.
“It is imperative that you keep up the pressure. The more experienced and talented the team’s reserves are, the more closely a player will examine how well he is performing in comparison.
Sarfaraz
“Sarfaraz might have been given a chance on tours like these, but Rizwan hasn’t been performing,” Afridi said on Samaa TV. “I believe that on tours like these, Sarfaraz could have been given a chance.” “Sarfaraz could have been given a chance on tours such as this one,” I believe, but it never happened.
During this time, the host of the TV debate addressed how some people try to claim that a player should be considered for selection because the city from which they hail should be taken into consideration.
About this subject matter, Shahid Afridi remarked that “biases towards cities have been going on for a long time” and that it is time to halt this practice immediately. He added that it is time to put an end to this practice.
Afridi observed, “The primary problem is that politics has gone into everything here,” and then discussed how people in Pakistan bring politics into even the direst of situations, such as floods. “The primary issue is that politics has been embedded in every aspect of life here,” he stated.
The biases against urban areas have persisted for a considerable amount of time at this point. Someone will remark the lines of “this individual is from Karachi, or this one is from Lahore,” or something like (while talking about selection in the team).
From my point of view, none of these events should be allowed to occur. “Insan ke bacche ban jaaye toh behetar hai,” Afridi continued further. “behave like a human person.”
