Pakistan announced its 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup on Thursday and, contrary to what was expected, decided to stick to most of the players who were part of the squad that recently lost to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final. The announcement was followed by scrutiny from fans and former cricketers alike. Mohammad Amir, the former Pakistan fast bowler, also tweeted after the squad was announced but he has since been slammed by fans of Twitter for his choice of words.
"chief slector ki cheap selection," is what Amir tweeted. This has not gone down well with the fans who criticised him for his comments. Amir had in the past retired from international cricket accusing the team management of being unfair towards him. While he has received sympathy from fans in the past, this tweet of his has not gone down well with the Pakistan cricket faithfuls.
Here are some reactions:
