Pakistan Cricket Board on Tuesday issued a show-cause notice to Abdul Razzaq over his litigious remarks about his exclusion from playing XI for the semi-final against Sri Lanka.
Abdul Razzaq on his return from Sri Lanka on Saturday blamed skipper Muhammad Hafeez responsible for axing him from the team in the crucial match of the World T20.
Sources said that the PCB had sought answer from the cricketer for speaking against the team management and the skipper.
Muhammad Hafeez when asked about Abdul Razzaq’s segregation, answered that it was the decision of the team management not him, management wanted to select a player who can bowl spin.
Razzaq was replaced by Sohail Tanvir in the match which Pakistan lost by16 runs.
Razzaq said, “It was Hafeez’s decision not to pick me for the semi-final, not anyone else’s, he should now speak up and admit it was his own decision.”
