Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali has called out the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for showing favoritism, particularly in the case of star batter Saim Ayub, who is currently receiving treatment in London. Ali questioned why Ayub was granted such privileges while other players did not receive the same level of support, citing his own experience when he was injured. Ayub has been sidelined since the South Africa tour due to a right ankle fracture and will miss the upcoming Champions Trophy.
