Why fans are criticizing the inclusion of Tahir in the Pakistan squad?
During his time at the crease, the right-handed batsman hit four maximums and 12 fours. While the batsman’s performance was praised by the Pakistani crowd, Pakistan’s use of the 29-year-old in the emerging team was criticized by many Indian spectators. It is important to note that Tyeb Tahir made his T20I debut for Pakistan against Afghanistan earlier this year and he is older than his countryman’s superstar opener Babar Azam. In comparison, India competed in the ACC Men’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup by fielding a young team, with zero players with experience in international matches.
On Twitter, many fans trolled the Pakistan Cricket Board for their decision to include such experienced players in the Emerging Teams Asia Cup. Notably, players from the Pakistan A team have featured in a combined eighty-one matches. Meanwhile, some fans pointed out the fact that Tayyab Tahir will be turning 30 in just three days, and if he is allowed to play in the event, Indian stars like Hardik Pandya should have also competed.
How did the Indian team fare in the 2023 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup?
