Islamabad, Feb 24 (UNI) Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir has criticised the team’s performance following their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 loss to India, questioning the captaincy of Muhammad Rizwan and calling for greater accountability from selectors over the squad selection.
Amir took issue with Rizwan’s post-match remarks, particularly his claim that Saim Ayub was a "gelling factor" in the squad and that his absence left the team unsettled, according to The Express Tribune report.
"If that’s the case, then Australia should have just stayed home too. They’re missing Starc, Marsh, and Cummins," Amir remarked, dismissing the idea that one player’s absence could justify Pakistan’s performance.
