Aamir Jamal’s Cryptic Post On Social Media
As the Men in Green are struggling on the global stage, the Pakistan Cricket Board’s recent central contract raised fresh controversies. As the cricket board made some drastic changes, promising Test all-rounder Aamir Jamal faced a snub from the contract of the 2025-26 season, along with seven other big names.
That move of the cricket board sparked buzz, and Aamir Jamal fired back. Hinting at his omission, the all-rounder shared a cryptic post on social media that instantly grabbed attention.
“Let them understand you, let them talk, Allah knows and when He will speak for you, your silence will become your shield,” he shared.
Jamal played his last Test in Pakistan’s jersey earlier this year against South Africa. In just eight Test matches, he scored 352 runs and secured 21 wickets with two fifties and two five-wicket hauls.
Major Shake-Up In Pakistan’s Central Contract
The Pakistan Cricket Board has undergone some major developments. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been demoted from category A and added to category B, joining Shaheen Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, and others. PCB took bold step by removing category A bracket completely.
PCB has awarded central contracts to 30 players and divided them into three categories. Saim Ayub, Haris Rauf, Salman Ali Agha, and two other players have been to category B from category C. Meanwhile, 12 players were rewarded with their maiden central contracts for their recent performances.
