Indian international cricketer who plays Test cricket for India said in a Koo Post, “Not the ideal start to the campaign for the team on the day, India has plenty of time to regroup, and am sure the team will bounce back strongly”.
Cheteshwar Pujara is an Indian international cricketer who plays Test cricket for India and represents Saurashtra in domestic cricket. He is a right-handed batsman who made his first-class debut for Saurashtra in December 2005 and made his Test debut at Bangalore in October 2010.
Following PCB's declaration of Babar Azam as the new captain for T20Is and ODIs, former skipper Shaheen who had been kept in the dark before the announcement of his removal from captaincy, expressed his discontent towards the PCB selection committee and its chief.
Pujara has scored 20,013 runs at an average of 51.98 in 260 first-class matches. In this format, he has tallied 61 hundreds and 78 fifties; his highest score is 352.
Wasim stated the decision "had nothing to do with management" and was "solely [Shaheen's] decision," warning players in general that when it came to picking which format to prioritize, they had to decide "if you want to be a great at the game or do you want to be a millionaire."
