Latif said that Shah has fought to maintain continuity despite his extended tenure with the national team in forms.
Former wicketkeeper-batsman said, “Naseem has also not made significant contribution to Pakistan’s success.”
Latif referred to Pakistan’s recent defeat against New Zealand in the Tri-series opener as evidence of Pesters’ underperformance.
“I worry as Shaheen, Naseem and others and I think they have not performed as expected.”
Latif urged the PCB to search for new fast bowling talents and ensure that senior players are held accountable for poor performance.
He noticed that while players like Khushdil Shah and Salman Agha continue to criticize, senior players like Afridi, Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan survived.
“No one is talking about the lack of performance of these players,” Latif said.
Veteran Javed Miandad said that the selectors were very much dependent on the speed attack to distribute in the Champions Trophy.
“I hope Pace Bouler will deliver after keeping in this tournament. We have just one expert spinner and the rest is not regular spinner,” Miandad said.
