Former Pakistan cricketer Ahmad Shahzad has said that Ravichandran Ashwin doesn't need to be surprised with the state of affairs in Pakistan cricket, saying that stadiums are being built around the country, which will lead to better days, as he took a sarcastic dig at the Pakistan cricket board. Recently, Shahzad has gone viral with his constant attacks on the board.
Pakistan went down to Bangladesh 0-2 in a home Test series, which was preceded by a dismal performance at the T20 World Cup and a below-average show at the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Shahzad reacted to Ashwin's comments and used them as tools to take some harsh digs at the Pakistan Cricket Board.

"Why are you surprised Ashwin? Don't worry, everything is fine here. Can't you see that stadiums are being built over here? Continuous digging is being done. Don't be surprised at all," Shahzad said.

"Are you not seeing that Pakistan is organizing a cup? (Champions One-Day Cup). Just wait and watch the number of players who come out of this tournament. How do we get a battery of fast bowlers and produce players? Are you not seeing this? Why are you surprised, Ravi," Shahzad asked.
The Pakistan batter had earlier refused to take part in the upcoming Champions Cup over the Pakistan Cricket Board's favouritism, false promises and injustice against domestic cricketers.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin looked back at the rich history of Pakistan cricket and thought about how they have fallen into an abyss.
"Keeping all this aside, Pakistan cricket, to see where it is right now, wasn't possible 10 years ago with Misbah and Younis Khan, even when they used to play in UAE. Back then, it was very tough to beat Pakistan, right," Ashwin asked.
Pakistan are supposed to play three Tests against England from October 7.
