With the defeat in the first T20 match against Afghanistan, former cricketers criticized the captain Shadab Khan.
Former cricketers Kamran Akmal and Salman Butt slammed the captain saying that Shadab Khan has been holding the responsibility of the vice-captain of the national team for a long time, how he is unable to read the pitch properly.
Kamran Akmal raised the question that Pakistan rested their 5 key players, then you should have fed Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed. The selectors should not have dropped them because if you rest both of them, the pressure will be on you.

If 4 players are debuting in the national team and 3 are returning, it is difficult for the players to perform.
Salman Butt criticized Shadab and said that the pitch was favorable for slow bowlers but Shadab still gave overs to the fast bowler. When Najeeb Zadran came to bat, he was finding it difficult to play Ehsan but Shadab placed the fielders on boundary. He said that the national team went to attack in Sharjah with 4 fast bowlers as if we were playing in Australian pitches .
