Former Pakistan chief selector Tauseef Ahmed has made allegations involving former head coach and chief selector Saqlain Mushtaq and his son-in-law Shadab Khan. Tauseef claimed that calls were made to support Shadab’s selection for the national team.
Tauseef Ahmed said Saqlain Mushtaq was heavily focused on Shadab during his time in the Pakistan cricket setup. He alleged that Saqlain would have people make calls to help secure selection opportunities for the all-rounder.
The former selector further claimed that he has alleged recordings of phone conversations involving Saqlain. He also questioned how Shadab Khan was able to receive a central contract soon after returning from outside the national setup.
The remarks have sparked discussion among cricket followers because they involve two former figures associated with Pakistan cricket. The allegations relate to selection decisions and the process through which players receive opportunities and contracts.
Saqlain Mushtaq responded to the allegations on social media. He said he respected Tauseef Ahmed as a senior but asked him to avoid making statements that he described as untrue.
Saqlain also claimed that he has recordings of his own. He challenged Tauseef to release the recordings he mentioned first, saying he would then release his own recordings in response.
The exchange between the two former Pakistan cricket figures has attracted attention across cricket circles. The claims about Tauseef Ahmed Shadab Khan selection allegations remain disputed, with both sides referring to recordings but no recordings being presented in the material provided.
