Pakistan tour of New Zealand: Fans cheering after Fakhar Zaman has been ruled out
Pakistani opener Fakhar Zaman has been ruled out from the 35-member squad for the Pakistan tour of New Zealand on developing COVID-19 like symptoms. Although he has been tested COVID-19 negative but on catching fever, the management has decided to exclude him from the squad.
However, the cricket fans are happy about his removal and are cheering up on social media. Fakhar’s performance since the last many ODIs, T20Is innings is not a question mark as he is very far away from impressing the masses again. He is known to be an aggressive opening lad after he smashed a hundred against India in the final of the Champions Trophy 2017 but many ebb and flow since then are now part of him.
Despite his unimpressive performances, he is usually part of every playing squad and it has left his stats into devastation. Also, the fans were not happy with his deliverance. As he is no more a member of the squad, let’s have a look at what people are posting on Twitter:
I think you mentioned it wrongly. It should be bad news for New Zealand ?

Fakhar zaman doesn't deserve a place in National team.
His only inning was in CT17.
May he recover soon.#fakharzaman best wishes— Muhammad Ajmeer Khan ☆ (@AjmeerMuhammad) November 22, 2020
