Salman Butt has made a stunning claim about the use of Twitter by Pakistan players. Shadab Khan, who dropped many catches in the final against Sri Lanka, took to Twitter to apologise to fans.
Fast bowler Hasan Ali uploaded a video to back Shadab, who was under the scanner. Butt claimed that all these tweets were pre-planned as players have the same manager, who decides the content.
“The funny thing is that all the players have the same manager, who tweets good things about the cricketers and acknowledges it. It’s just become a circus.”
“A player says sorry for his mistake, but the other player backs him and says you played very well. But all these tweets are done by the same manager (laughs). All this is just a play-act. Half of the Pakistan players don’t know what to write on Twitter,” he added.
Butt further claimed that some of the players in the team were not selected on merit.
“Players who haven’t done well for the team are still playing.”
