Hasan Ali accuses PCB of bias in the treatment of Saim Ayuba
As he spoke on YouTube Podcast ‘Ultra Edge’, Hasan Ali opened at PCB’s treatment of his players. Hasan claimed that Ayubu had received VVIP treatment, but claimed why he did not give him the same treatment when he was a regular member of the team.
“Saim Ayub was injured. He is a player of your team. Did I not be a member of the 2020 team? If another player is injured, will he not be a member of the team? Do you play from India?” Said Ali.
“You give VVIP treatment to Saima Ayubu. If someone gets hurt in the future, would you give him the same treatment? No, you won’t. Well, what did you do here?” Pacer was added from the right hand.
Hasan Ali further blessed Ayub for good health, but wondered if a young man would get the same treatment if he was injured again in the future.
“Let God give him health and fitness and let him win a lot of matches for Pakistan. But every climb has a fall. If Saim Ayub is injured again, will he treat him? No, he won’t,” Hasan said.
