Pakistan Star Shoaib Malik Refused job invite as PCB Selector

Senior Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik stated that he refused the offer of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to become a selector, before the T20 world Cup 2024. Shoaib played for he last time back in 2021, but he has not taken retirement frim International cricket yet.

Malik said he is still playing domestic cricket and taking up the job would not make sense to him.

“I got an offer before the 2024 T20 World Cup. There was no chief selector then and the entire committee had the same power,” Malik said.

“Yes, I got the offer. However, I am still playing some cricket. How can I select the cricketers with whom I am playing currently? It does not make sense to me that you are playing as well and are part of the selection committee too,” he added.

Malik also stated how he is not interested in playing for the Pakistan cricket team but will still be playing domestic T20 cricket.

“I currently play just one format, and I will surely play in the domestic T20 competition. I think I can still play at the domestic level. That way, I can share my experience in a better way with the players,”

“I have already said that I am not interested in playing for Pakistan. I have already retired from Tests and ODIs. I have no interest in being part of Pakistan’s T20I team. Yes, I will continue playing at the domestic level. There are a few places where I still go and play, but I have already communicated to some leagues that I won’t be available. Regarding my retirement, I will leave it all at once,” he said.
