Following the selection of squad for the upcoming Tests in Ireland and England in
which national selectors opted for Inzimam-ul-Haq’s nephew Imam-ul-Haq over
Fawad Alam, a large number of people have been expressing their disapproval with
the decision that is deeply rooted in prejudice, as they believe.

According to many, despite having more experience than Imam-ul-Haq, Fawad Alam
was left out at the altar, based on familial preferences.

Among the many that have out-rightly criticised the selection of Imam-ul-Haq at
the expense of alienated Fawad, is ace cricketer Wasim Akram and sports journalist
Dennis Freedman.
"Players play domestic circuit in view of getting an opportunity to play international
cricket. I can’t understand why Fawad is not getting an opportunity, he is still out
from the squad despite scoring runs in domestic on an average of 50 in the last three-
four years. It's beyond me,” said the former fast bowler.

On the other hand, Dennis tweeted:

Fawadennis Alam
@DennisCricket_

Inzi's nephew Imam ul Haq is travelling to England in the squad.

His FC average is more than 20 runs less than Fawad Alam's.

Both left handers.

Explain that one to me please?

Senior journalist Mazhar Abbas, regarding the matter, stated that the biasness shown
by chief selector Inzimam indicates injustice which is in any form ‘a threat to
justice’.

Inzi once again showed his biased against Fawad Alam.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to Judstice everywhere.

Why PCB constantly ignoring Fawad Alam? Alarming situation

where is merit? He has scored 27 centuries & 57 half centuries.
Overall 10 thousand plus runs in First Class Cricket.

Not selecting Fawad Alam yet again is being very unfair with the
top batsmen. Thought justice will be done.

In all fairness, Fawad Alam should have been selected for the
England Tour. With Younis and Misbah's retirement he would
 have surely brought strength and resilience to our middle order.

What people are more concerned about is the fact that Fawad Alam boasts a sound
career-record in comparison to that of Imam-ul-Haq’s.

Having a tally of 10,742 runs at a staggering average of 55.37, Fawad is far more
experienced than Imam; with the latter  being able to muster only 222 runs at a
below-average of 27.75 in five games, despite managing to make an impressive
international cricket debut against Sri Lanka in October last year.
