“Azam Khan’s future can be ruined because of me because whenever he will be selected, people will say that he is the nephew of Director High Performance,” he was quoted as saying.” Jokes apart but this is a bit of cultural issue in Pakistan.”
Nadeem added that Azam has improved his performance considerably over the last couple of years which is a good sign. “Our T20 team also requires a player like him but he needs to improve his fitness first which is why he has been asked to attend the camp by the chief selector,” he added.
