Former Pakistan U19 captain and current opening batsman Sami Aslam has chosen to pull out from Quaid-e-Azam Trophy midway through the tournament as he was overlooked for the forthcoming visit to New Zealand. The Balochistan batter didn’t find a place in Pakistan’s mammoth 35-man squad for the tour.
Sami annoyed with the thought of being overlooked took to Twitter to state that he was unhappy after not being picked for the side for the New Zealand tour. The batsman was dropped after the 2018 UK despite not featuring in a single game during that tour.
