Pakistan opener Ahmed Shehzad has opened up on the impact of the report presented by Waqar Younis in 2016 which he believes negatively impacted his career.
The report presented by Waqar stated that Shehzad and Umar Akmal must play domestic cricket to get back on the side.
Shehzad demanded for face-to-face interaction and wanted to discuss his stance on the assessment made by the former coach.
“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," Shehzad said.
“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,”
Shehzad termed it as a pre-planned approach to remove him from the side by associating names with Umar Akmal.
"Some of my teammates tried to associate my name with Umar Akmal by planning to give negative impression regarding me," he added.
