I'm not sure how to respond to this. In a media interview, Abdul Razzaq was quiet upset, with the news that he had not been selected for the Twenty20 Cup in South Africa.
While I can understand why Razzaq is upset, and I think we are all entitled to an opinion on how that plays out for Pakistan, I'm not sure if I like a player being so vocal and openly critical of the setup and the selectors. Razzaq is a player in the setup, and has a right to his own opinion, but in a field as competitive as cricket, for a player to see it as a birthright to be selected to the squad is inappropriate. Selection to the squad is a privilege, and a player has a right to be told why they are being dropped and what the rationale is, but to be openly critical of the hand that feeds, is detrimental to the discipline in the squad and the cricketing setup.
I think Razzaq needs to be fined for this.
