If Pakistan make changes in World T20 squad then chief selector must ethically resign, opines Rashid Latif

The main criticism of the squad selection was because of the omission of Shoaib Malik and Sarfaraz Ahmed from the team. Also, Fakhar Zaman was named in reserves and some of the selected players have failed to perform in the ongoing National T20 Championship. Sharing his views on the issue of team selection, former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif has opined that if the selectors do changes in the squad they all should resign including chief selectors as it suggests that the selectors failed to select the team earlier. 

"Now if they go ahead and make changes in the main 15-member squad then the chief selector must ethically resign and so should the other selectors. Because they are responsible for selecting the squad and if changes are made it means they failed to do their jobs properly the first time around," Latif said to PTI. 

"India and England appear to be the most balanced sides in the tournament while West Indies always remain a dangerous side but I wouldn't write Pakistan off as if they click they could gain momentum and surprise many people," he concluded.
