He has taken a cheap trick, leavingone or two innings behind.” He also suggested that Fakhar Zaman shouldconsider stepping down.
Rameez Raja also expressed disappointment over the absence of two keyplayers in this crucial match against Sri Lanka: Imam-ul-Haq, who was outdue to a back injury, and Saud Shakeel, who couldn’t recover from a feverand had to miss the match
