Lahore, Sep.19 (ANI): Experienced Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq is disappointed over his non-selection for the ICC Champions Trophy in South Africa.
Razzaq said he was surprised at not being selected.
"It came as a huge setback to learn that I was not in the final team. Since my comeback to the national team, I had been working very hard to play in this elite tournament," Razzaq said.
Razzaq said his attempts failed to convince the selectors
"It is a big tournament and you get a chance to prove yourself against the top teams. I was working hard to convince everyone I should be in the side," The Daily Times quoted Razzaq, as saying.
The seven member selection committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had controversially recalled paceman Mohammad Asif and opener Imran Nazir, but omitted all-rounder Abdul Razzaq from their 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy beginning September 22 in South Africa. (ANI)
