Saqlain Mushtaq challenges Tauseef Khan over Shadab Khan selection claims

Saqlain Mushtaq has publicly challenged former Pakistan selector Tauseef Khan to release an alleged audio recording that purportedly reveals him soliciting for the selection of his son-in-law, Shadab Khan, in the national team. The claims of nepotism have resurfaced amid ongoing disputes regarding selection influences within Pakistan cricket. In a response, Saqlain stated he would release his own recordings if Tauseef made his public, pressing for transparency. This dispute comes at a time of broader trust issues within the Pakistan Cricket Board, following a recent unsuccessful tour to England. During this controversy, Shadab Khan has been performing well, recently achieving a T20 hat-trick for Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the CPL.
