The Pakistani team’s hopes of making it to the Champions Trophy 2025 semifinals were dashed after a dismal loss to India. They were seen as one of the favorites before the tournament, but they have yet to win a game, therefore there is a lot of criticism directed at the players’ performances and the team’s selection.
Several Pakistani experts have expressed their opinions about the team’s selection and which players ought to have been benched before the eight-team competition.
Former Pakistan all-rounder and 2017 Champions Trophy winner Muhammad Hafeez is one of the experts who have voiced their opinions.
He has made a bold claim that the Pakistan Cricket Board’s selection committee is using artificial intelligence (AI) rather than statisticians to choose the team for the Champions Trophy.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is used in this selecting process. According to them, they have a statistician and are skilled at assembling teams. We have complete knowledge. The players are chosen by AI. First, go look up your name on AI,” Mohammad Hafeez stated during an appearance on a local television program.
