It appears that Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan has responded to criticism after being accused of prioritizing playing in foreign leagues over representing his national team. 

The 24-year-old has stated that his experience playing in the BBL helped him perform well in the T20 World Cup and that playing in different conditions makes him a better player.

Shadab recently suffered a finger injury while playing in the Big Bash League (BBL) in Australia and will not be able to participate in the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand. 

He also mentioned that injuries can happen at any time and that his aim is to learn and do well for Pakistan. 

The ODI series between Pakistan and New Zealand will take place in Karachi and will feature a number of uncapped and recalled players. 

Fast bowler Haris Rauf, who was injured during a Test match against England, has recovered and been named in the lineup.
