Out of 'Self Respect' Pakistan Star Ahmad Shahzad Quits PSL
The batsman of Pakistan, Ahmad Shahzad, has decided not to play in the Pakistan Super League again, having been 'deliberately' left out by franchises. Shahzad, who has been griding in the domestic circuit to make his comeback with the Pakistan national team, said that there seems to be a conscious attempt to keep him out of the PSL by franchises, despite the fact that he boasts better stats than some of the other players who have been picked.
While sharing a heartfelt note on social media, Shahzad said goodbye to the PSL after another draft went by with the batter failing to get picked by any of the six franchises.
His note read, "A heartfelt goodbye to the Pakistan Super League! I'm writing this note, which I thought I wouldn't be writing this year. Another PSL draft goes by, and the same old story doesn't get picked. God knows why!"
"But they plan, and Allah plans. Indeed, Allah is the best of planners."
"I have tried really hard by giving it all on the domestic circuit consistently in the last few years, and I did reasonably well in the National T20 Cup just before the PSL draft. There seems to be a deliberate effort to keep me out, even when franchises have opted for other performers with lower numbers than me. But when everything is pre-planned, it doesn't really matter. I don't know whose responsibility it is to get top domestic performers in the PSL then."
Shahzad suggested that in the PSL there seems to be some conspiracy, which has resulted in him getting ignored by all six franchises. He has vowed to reveal the truth soon too.
