Victim mentality strikes again!!
And no we are not talking about Imran Farhat but another useless batsman, Faisal Iqbal here.
The only reason he got picked so much was because he was Miandad’s relative! If it wasn’t for that fact he probably would not have played international cricket at all. Faisal just didn’t make the most of the earlier opportunities given to him.

Faisal lashes out at PCB after contract snub
**Pakistan’s discarded Test batsman, Faisal Iqbal, has criticised the PCB for overlooking him for the new central contracts that have been offered to 23 players.
He minced no words when he said he was being ignored because he was former captain Javed Miandad’s relative.
**“It’s a laughing stock for me not to see my name in the list after scoring so heavily in domestic cricket,” Faisal said on his facebook page.
**“It shows to me that PCB is personal with me and not seeing my runs but taking revenge as I am paying the price for being Miandad’s relative,” he said.
Earlier also, Faisal in an interview to Geo News had claimed that he was being discriminated against since he was the nephew of Miandad who is presently employed as director cricket affairs in the Board on a handsome salary.
The 29 -year-old Faisal, who last played for Pakistan in the 2010 Sydney Test against Australia, said he was disappointed at not getting the central contract.
“Come on PCB, what will you get by disturbing a Pakistan Test player,” Faisal, who has played 26 Tests and 18 ODIs, wrote.
The stylish batsman, who is presently playing for PIA in the ongoing T20 Corporate Cup in Karachi, has been scoring heavily in domestic cricket and he scored a century and two half centuries in his last three first class matches in the Pentangular for Sindh in March.
The Board has also ignored former captain Shahid Afridi for the central contract indicating that it is not interested in trying to convince him to resume his career.
“Look, these central contracts are not the end of the world. If anyone is deserving he will be offered a contract in the next few weeks or months, depending on his performances,” one Board source said.

Before opening his big mouth, he should look at his international performance so far, a test average of 26 and an ODI average of 22
Not only that his domestic performance in 2010-11 is nothing to shout about (10 matches 537 runs @37 on flat tracks). Three batsmen incl. Mansoor Amjad scored 1000+ runs at 50+ average. They are nowhere near the team. No wonder Faisal sets such high standards for himself.
There are far more deserving batsmen than him currently such as Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq. He ruined the careers of guys like Asim Kamal who went ignored so he and other parchis like Farhat could play
No bhanje, you’re just paying the price for not being good enough. Learn to deal with it.
