KARACHI: Pakistan all-rounder Khushdil Shah is surprised that he has been picked for the Champions Trophy despite dishing out ordinary performances, saying he himself doesn’t know “how I got into the team”.
Khushdil, a middle-order left-hand batter, scored a stroke-filled 69 off 49 deliveries but his efforts went in vain as Pakistan lost the Champions Trophy opener to New Zealand by 60 runs.
Ever since Khushdil made his ODI debut in November 2020 against Zimbabwe, the 30-year-old has played only 14 50-over games, while he has not played a T20I since October 2023. PTI
