This is the first time in the history of the T20 World Cup that the Pakistani team has been eliminated from the group stage. This team had reached the final of the World Cup last time but had to face defeat at the hands of England. In such a situation, after being eliminated from the group stage, the team captained by Babar Azam played its last match against Ireland in Florida. In this match, captain Babar took a shocking decision and he showed the young fast bowler Naseem Shah the way out of the final eleven and his decision was not liked by former Indian legendary batsman Mohammad Kaif. Kaif criticized it during a conversation on Star Sports without naming anyone.

He said, “Naseem Shah is a very good bowler and he has been dropped in today's match. The team has won only one match against Canada in this World Cup and at such a time you do not want to drop your best bowler. When the T-20 series was held against Ireland, Abbas Afridi got 5 or 6 wickets in that series and I think that is probably the reason why Afridi has been given a chance.”

Let us tell you that Naseem has performed well for his team in this World Cup. He took the wicket of legendary batsman Virat Kohli in the crucial match against India and gave a good start to his team. On the other hand, star pacer Haris Rauf was constantly conceding runs but despite this, he was consistently included in the playing eleven and despite Naseem's good performance, he was dropped.
