Pakistan cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has expressed his unhappiness with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The batter who’s represented his country in 153 matches has decided that he’ll boycott the Champions One-Day Cup, the 50-over tournament, which is PCB’s latest innovation. The competition will feature 150 players, and five teams (Stallions, Lions, Dolphins, Panthers and Wolves) will run from September 12 to 29 at Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium.
