“I have not seen the report myself but a PCB official told me that these remarks have been said regarding me. But I believe that these things should be discussed face-to-face and I am ready to take on that challenge. Then we will see who is right and who is wrong,” the batter stated.
“Maybe I have more things to say and I might even have a bigger reach than them but I opt to stay quiet because you need to live up to your own standards. But their words hurt my career, especially since I was not allowed to present my case,” he maintained.
Shehzad further said that his teammates associated him with Umar Akmal. “Some of my teammates tried to associate my name with Umar Akmal by planning to give negative impression regarding me,” he said.
