Ahmed Shehzad (Source: Twitter)
Ahmed Shehzad, a cricketer from Pakistan who hasn't been in the team for a while, recently made headlines with a unique answer to an interesting question. When asked which Hollywood actor he would want to play in a movie about his life, Shehzad quickly chose the veteran actor Brad Pitt without any hesitation.
This unexpected response brought some laughter during the interview. Despite not being part of Pakistan's cricket lineup since 2019, Shehzad showed his light-hearted side with this playful choice for a hypothetical biopic.
In his cricket career, Shehzad has played 13 Tests, 81 ODIs, and 59 T20Is for Pakistan. He has accumulated 982 runs in Tests, 2605 in ODIs, and 1471 in T20Is. While not currently in the playing squad, his amusing pick for an actor to portray him in a biopic added a touch of humour to the interview.
Pakistan Cricket Board terminates association with Mickey Arthur
On a broader note, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) recently decided to part ways with foreign coaches Mickey Arthur, Grant Bradburn, and Andrew Puttick due to the senior team's poor performance. This decision came after a challenging period, including a disappointing World Cup campaign and a 3-0 whitewash in Australia.
The changes in coaching staff were initiated by the PCB under the leadership of the last cricket management committee chairman, Najam Sethi, appointed in April–May of the previous year. The Pakistan team faced challenges despite having new leadership, as evident from the tough series in Australia. These developments mark a transitional phase for Pakistan cricket, and fans eagerly await the team's resurgence under new coaching strategies.
Pakistan squad for the upcoming New Zealand tour:
Shaheen Afridi (c), Aamir Jamal, Abbas Afridi, Azam Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Haseebullah Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan (VC & WK), Mohammad Wasim Jr., Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Usama Mir, and Zaman Khan.
