Discarded Pakistan cricketer makes sensational revelations after retiring from PSL

Discarded Pakistan cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has expressed his disappointment in not being picked for any of the Pakistan Super League teams. He last played in the league in 2020 for the Quetta Gladiators. Since then, the Champions Trophy 2017 winner has been out of the tournament. Even though he has played for Multan Sultans and the Gladiators, the six franchises haven’t considered him again.

The right-hander came into the limelight when he scored 344 runs in nine games (seventh-highest run-getter) in the National T20 League. He was hoping to be picked in the PSL 2024 player drafts that took place in a few days. However, Shehzad continues to be ignored.

I know exactly why I am kept out of Pakistan Super League: Ahmed Shehzad

“A heartfelt goodbye to Pakistan Super League! I’m writing this note which I thought I wouldn’t be writing this year. Another PSL draft goes by and same old story – didn’t get picked. God knows why!”

“But they plan, and Allah plans. Indeed ALLAH is the best of Planners…”

“I have tried really hard by giving it all in domestic circuit consistently in last few years, and did reasonably well in the National T20 Cup just before the PSL draft. There seems a deliberate effort to keep me out, even when franchises have opted for other performers with inferior numbers than me. But when everything is pre-planned so it doesn’t really matter. I don’t know whose responsibility it is to get top domestic performers in the PSL then.”

“But I exactly know the reasons why I’m not made part of the PSL – the whole country, and my fans will know it very soon.”

“I’m parting ways and saying goodbye to Pakistan Super League for my own self respect. I’ve never played for money and will never do it. While many chose international leagues across the globe, I decided to grind in the domestic circuit to prove my love for the game, and to wear the Green Flag again. I’m taking this decision keeping money out of it (was offered several contracts to play leagues yet chose Pakistan).”
