Pakistan pacer Mohammad Hasnain expressed his frustration after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced additions to the central contracts list on Friday.
PCB included five players in the men’s central contracts list bringing the total number of players offered contracts to 30.
The new inductions include Abrar Ahmed (Category C), Noman Ali (Category C), Tayyab Tahir (Category D), Aamir Jamal (Category D) and Arshad Iqbal (Category D).
In a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), the 23-year-old took a jibe at PCB over their caption. "Thankyou PCB for your thorough review", Hasnain wrote.
It must be noted Hasnain sustained an injury during the Lanka Premier League (LPL) in August. He underwent an ankle operation a few weeks ago. The PCB has reported that he is making significant progress during his rehabilitation process.
Remember, the three-year contracts deal announced last month, will run from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2026.
"The previous 25-man list of players was finalised by the Najam Sethi-led management committee but the new management committee under its chairman Mr Zaka Ashraf has decided to review the list," the PCB said in a press release.
Below is the updated list of players with categories who have been offered contracts:
Category A: Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Shah Afridi
Category B: Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Nawaz, Naseem Shah, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shadab Khan
Category C: Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Imad Wasim and Noman Ali
Category D: Aamir Jamal, Arshad Iqbal, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Ihsanullah, Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Saud Shakeel, Shahnawaz Dahani, Shan Masood, Tayyab Tahir, Usama Mir and Zaman Khan
