Pakistan senior selector Aaqib Javed responds sharply to criticism from former players, saying they should instead engage directly with cricket rather than comment from “air-conditioned rooms.” In his remarks, Javed challenges ex-players to “go out,” arguing that meaningful contribution should be tied to being present in the sport and the environment where it is played. The comments come after public questioning and debate involving Pakistan’s cricket set-up and selections, with former cricketers offering views that Javed and the current administration appear to have found dismissive or unhelpful. While Javed’s tone is confrontational, the substance of his message is aimed at encouraging action and participation, rather than criticism alone. The reaction reflects an ongoing public exchange within Pakistan cricket circles, with current officials defending their approach and former players continuing to weigh in on team decisions and performance. Sources agree that the remarks are directed at former players following the criticism, and that Javed uses the “air-conditioned rooms” line to underline his point about involvement.
