Former Pakistan cricketer Faisal Iqbal has criticised Shadab Khan over his bowling performance against Australia in the first One-Day International at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Shadab Khan looked very very ordinary bowler, very easy for the new Aussie batters to play him even on this spin pitch, his chapter should be close now even young Arafat Minhas looks more experienced while bowling than Shadab khan!

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Iqbal said Shadab looked "very, very ordinary" and was easy for Australia's new batters to play despite the spin-friendly conditions.
He said that Shadab's time in the side should now be nearing an end, adding that young Arafat Minhas appeared more experienced with the ball.
It is pertinent to note that Arafat Minhas became the first Pakistani bowler to claim a five-wicket haul on his ODI debut.
