Pakistani batsmen, Ahmad Shahzad has been under constant backlash after his dismal performance in the recently ended ICC Champions Trophy which Pakistan won. The cricketer not only faced criticism from the public but has now been called out on media by a popular political talk show host, Javed Chaudhry.
He talked about Ahmad Shahzad’s performance in the Champions Trophy and accused him to have taken the limelight after Pakistan won the trophy. Chaudhry then compared the cricketer with the ongoing policial situation in the country regarding the JIT case.

Ahmed Shahzad was not left to defend himself against the allegations made against him. It was good to see his brothers in green coming out to support him! Many of the Pakistan cricket team have stood up for their colleague!
