Selector Mohammad Ilyas has won the war of words against former captain Shahid Afridi his son in law Imran Farhat has been selected in the Pakistan squad for the Zimbabwe series.
The most surprise addition is inclusion of Imran Farhat. The left handed opener has been tried and tested many times in the past. But he has failed to perform consistently.
It seems that his father in law Selector Mohammad Ilyas has helped him in getting the place in Pakistan team squad. Few weeks ago Shahid Afridi criticise few selectors from Lahore who wanted to select players without merit.
After the inclusion of imran farhat, the battle between s Selector Mohammad Ilyas and Afridi has won by selector which will hurt Pakistan team.

PCBs’ Mohammad Ilyas may have triumphed over the national interest by suppressing the up and coming batsmen Ahmed Shehzad to make room for his son-in-law Imran Farhat. But he hasn’t won the pat-on-the-back yet since Farhat got out at duck in the first ODI. Though he has less to worry about since PCB is not accountable to anyone but the politicians. By now, Pakis’ know the status quo to be how life is meant to be.
