linkKARACHI: PCB chairman Ijaz Butt has cast a shadow of doubt over senior Pakistani players, Kamran Akmal and Abdul Razzaq's future when he said that it was time for the duo to bid adieu to international cricket after their flop show in the World Cup.
Criticising Kamran and Razzaq's performance during the World Cup, Butt said, "I think the way these two performed it was very disappointing and a big let down. It is best for them to say goodbye to international cricket now."

He also said that both Kamran and Razzaq's future now lies in the hands of the national selectors.
Butt also made it clear captain Shahid Afridi would also have been dropped from the national team for the West Indies tour if he had not performed with the ball in the World Cup.
"But I think he (Afridi) showed his usefulness to the team by taking 21 wickets and deserves to be retained as captain," he said.
The PCB chief also extended his support to Test captain, Misbah-ul-Haq, who came in for sharp criticism for his slow batting in the high-profile semi-final against India.
He informed that Misbah would continue to lead the national team in Test matches in the West Indies.
Butt allowed to say this publicly? is this the end of these two?
