Opening batsman Fakhar Zaman has responded to Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) show-cause notice, which was issued after he had tweeted his opinion following the board's decision to drop former captain Babar Azam from the squad for the second and third Tests against England in the ongoing series at home.
"Babar Azam is one of the best batters in the world, and that’s why I felt compelled to express my opinion," Zaman said in his response to the PCB, as quoted by cricketpakistan.com. "I believe Babar Azam deserved a chance during tough times, reflecting on the PCB's central contract as a fellow player."
