Pakistan all-rounder Aamir Jamal has hit back at PCB for not clarifying his role after his snub from the squad that was recently announced for the Asia Cup.
The Pakistan squad announced for the tournament will not feature the likes of Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan. The side will be led by Agha Salman and will play matches against India, UAE and Oman in Group A.
Jamal was dropped from Pakistan’s Asia Cup squad based on his average performances leading upto the tournament. His returns in T20Is are modest and his confrontation with the PCB after the board removed him from the central contract was one of the key reasons behind the management's willingness to move away from him.

Haven't Had Any Conversations - Aamir Jamal On PCB
Now that he is dropped from the Asia Cup squad, Aamir Jamal said that the board’s lack of communication has put him in a state of confusion.
"So far, I haven’t had any conversation with anyone regarding my role in future plans. I need clarity as well—if I am not being considered in any format, let’s be honest about it. If you don’t want me to be part of the team, whatever the reasons are, that’s fine. I have been out only due to injury, but I have fully recovered and proven my fitness—I am 100% fit. I have been bowling with full rhythm and maintaining my workload perfectly,” Jamal was quoted as saying by Geo Super.
