“So the identical individuals who had been criticizing, if right now they’ve energy, grew to become the selector, what have they carried out first up? ‘Mohammad Amir was with me, let’s choose him’. It is like if Ajit Agarkar is chairman (of BCCI choice committee) right now, he’ll say ‘come Viru, come Zak (Zahir Khan)’, I’ll facilitate your comeback’,” Sehwag added.
Whereas not mincing his phrases on the biased angle of Pakistan selectors, Sehwag suggested them to “not do favours”.
“You’ve grow to be a selector, it’s a must to have a look at the longer term. You’ve a job, make the precise use of it, do not do favours. That tough step selectors must take,” stated Sehwag.
