Younis not happy with how teams picked players in PSL

Pakistan’s head coach Waqar Younis is not happy at the way franchises have picked local players for the Pakistan Super League.

Waqar told the media in Lahore that he was surprised and disappointed that no franchise had picked left arm pacer Rahat Ali for the T20 league which is due to be held in February in Dubai and Sharjah.

“Rahat is one of our top bowlers and has represented the national team this year in the World Cup and other major events. It is strange that he was not picked for the PSL by any franchise,” Waqar said.

He said some other deserving players had also been ignored by the PSL franchises.

The former Pakistan captain also noted that senior batsman Younis Khan had also found no place in the PSL which was surprising.

Ironically though Waqar had given his availability for the PSL in the head coaches list no franchise opted for him even though the Peshawar franchise opted to pick his junior Muhammad Akram and Quetta went for former captain Moin Khan.
