NEW DELHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board verbally warned pacer Shahnawaz Dahani for his tweet after he was not considered for the one-day series against Afghanistan and Asia Cup.
Soon after the Pakistani teams were announced, Dahani in a somewhat sarcastic tweet pointed out it appeared that chief selector Inzamam ul Haq and the media were unaware that he is also a Pakistani bowler.
“Seems they don’t know I am a Pakistani bowler and no one in the press conference even asked him (Inzamam) about my selection,” Dahani wrote.
The young bowler soon got a call from the PCB high-ups and was rapped for going public with such controversial comments.
Dahani, one of the few players to make the international level from the interior of the southern Sindh province, apparently quickly realised his blunder and has now deleted the tweet.
