Shoaib Malik Turns Down Selector Role Ahead of T20 World Cup

Former Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik disclosed on Thursday that he turned down an offer to become a selector for the T20 World Cup, which took place in the Caribbean and the United States in June.

At a press conference in Lahore, Malik explained that his focus is on improving the fitness of emerging players. “My goal in accepting the mentor role for the Champions Cup was to help fringe players develop their skills,” he said.
