Afridi also criticized the management of Quetta Gladiators for not selecting the right combination of players in the draft for PSL 8.

“Quetta Gladiators have not done their homework properly this season. Also, they keep cutting and changing their lines,” he said.

“On what basis did they include Umar Akmal in the team? Is his strength up to the mark? These things show whether the team is serious when they pick the team,” he concluded.

The Gladiators are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table, having lost four of their first five games this season.
