🔍 Why No Pakistani Player Was Selected?

The absence of Pakistani stars has surprised many fans. Despite strong individual performances from Pakistan players in recent years, inconsistency, limited franchise exposure, and fewer standout T20 performances in 2025 may have affected selection.

Selectors focused on impact, match-winning consistency, and performances in major T20 leagues and internationals, areas where players from oth

er nations had a stronger overall year.
