He is in form. Playing domestic season so well. Unfair.— Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) December 19, 2019

Fawad Alam’s exceptional knock in the domestic season!
Fawad Alam, who made his cricket debut 10 years ago often remains in the news for the management’s lack of concentration. Pakistan’s former cricketer and now coach Misbah Ul Haq, yet again, left Fawad Alam out of the playing XI. Despite his energetic and consistent performance in the domestics, the 34-year-old cricketer couldn’t be a part of the Test series.

Prior to the recent Pakistan VS Sri Lanka Test series, rumors were that Fawad Alam might be in the selected team. Later, it turned out that the cricketer will be added in the second and last match in Karachi’s National Stadium. Unfortunately, the selection committee once again didn’t pay any heed towards Fawad Alam and remained unchosen.
Fawad Alam stellar knocks and selection committee’s neglection!
Domestically playing, Fawad Alam recently played exceptionally in the Quaid e Azam trophy that happened earlier this year. As per reports, the 34-year-old cricketer stacked up 781 runs in a total of 10 matches for his squad, Sindh. Particularly, the total of 781 runs includes Fawad Alam’s four amazing centuries and two out of the ground fifties carrying an average of 71.

Neglected Fawad Alam made his Test debut 10 years back in 2009 and then also, the cricketer played brilliantly. However, Shoaib Akhtar in last Pakistan tour de Australia praised the young T20 captain Babar Azam for his ‘solo’ efforts. Well, Akhtar’s relevant question might hurt Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s sentiments but that selection is actually ‘unfair’.
