Worldcup 2023: Former Pakistan cricketer Moeen Khan vented out on PCB over the exclusion of star player Naseem Shah.

Pakistan cricket team reached Hyderabad on Wednesday for the ODI World Cup 2023 where they were given a grand welcome. Under the leadership of Babar Azam, the team will play practice matches with New Zealand and Australia on 29 September and 3 October. Pakistan will start the tournament against Netherlands on 6 October.

Pakistan Cricket Board has selected a strong team. However, due to injury, star pacer Naseem Shah has not been given a place in the team. Naseem Shah may stay away from cricket for a long time due to right shoulder injury. In such a situation, former Pakistan cricketer Moin Khan has now revealed about Naseem's injury. Moeen Khan told Cricket Pakistan that the star fast bowler had been continuously complaining about the problem, but the medical team continued to ignore it.

Moeen Khan said, "Naseem's injury is a disaster for the medical panel and physiotherapists of the Pakistan team. Because he was continuously complaining that he was having problems for three-four months, yet they were continuously feeding him "A player would always like not to be dropped, but when he is telling you about his injury you have to take it very seriously. The medical panel did not take it seriously."

However, Moeen said that Hasan Ali was Pakistan's best option after Naseem's absence due to injury. Moeen further said, "The PCB officials should hand over the work to him, because we had a huge loss before the World Cup. Hasan Ali is an experienced bowler, who has gone through similar situations. From that point of view, this decision is appropriate." And the selection of Hasan Ali is appropriate."
