“Your people cannot stand your success”- Ahmed Shehzad on Waqar Younis

Shehzad holds Waqar Younis responsible for his ouster from Pakistan’s team. In an interview with Cricket Pakistan, he had said:

“I have not seen the report (in which Younis supposedly asked for Shahzad’s ouster) myself, but a PCB official told me that these remarks have been said regarding me. Their words hurt my career, especially since I was not allowed to present my case. This was a pre-planned approach, and they wanted to kill two birds with one stone.”

He feels that Virat Kohli flourished under MS Dhoni but in Pakistan, senior players are jealous of talented youngsters.

“I have said this before, and I will say it again, Kohli’s career picked off amazingly because he found MS Dhoni but unfortunately, here in Pakistan, your people cannot stand your success. Our senior players and ex-cricketers cannot digest seeing someone succeed in the cricketing world, which is unfortunate for Pakistan cricket.”
