KCCA unhappy with selectors for ignoring Karachi players

KARACHI: Former President of Karachi City Cricket Association (KCCA) Prof. Syed Sirajul Islam Bukhari has slammed the national selection committee for ignoring Karachi cricketers for the tour West Indies tour.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Prof. Bukhari said despite winning Quaid-e-Azam trophy and emerging as joint winners of Faysal Bank One-Day Cup this year Karachi cricketers were once again ignored.

He said selectors have gambled by including Umer Akmal as wicket-keeper/batsman thus denying an opportunity to Sarfraz Ahmed.

He said selectors have done injustice by ignoring talented Akbar Rehman, Khurram Manzoor and Sarfraz Ahmed despite their outstanding performances in domestic first class and one-day events. (AFP)
