Danish Kaneria was quoted as saying by ANI, “Babar has not scored runs for so long, but when he scores, it is against Zimbabwe or against smaller teams. If he scores against big teams, there is no intent at all.”
Danish Kaneria says Pakistan’s early exit from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was predictable
He explained, “There is no depth in the batting. Salman Agha and Khushdil Shah sometimes make contributions. Saud Shakeel is a technically correct batter. But Rizwan's bat seems to have stopped working. When the Champions Trophy squad was announced, one could see it getting eliminated pretty soon out of the tournament.”
Danish Kaneria accuses PCB of favoritism and poor selection
Additionally, Danish Kaneria slammed Pakistan’s cricket setup, blaming favoritism and poor selection for their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 failure. He criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for rewarding mediocrity and selecting players based on friendships rather than merit.
Kaneria signed off by saying, “When you make a team for your country, you do not think of yourself. But here, everyone is sitting, running their shop. Score small runs and keep working. Things do not work this way. If you work like this, you will also get results like this (Pakistan being out of CT).”
