Well that's definitely a disappointing situation. It's understandable that Junaid Khan feels let down by the absence of top New Zealand players in the upcoming T20I series against Pakistan. It's unfortunate when players prioritize leagues like the IPL over their national team commitments. Team loyalty and representing ones country should always hold a special place in a players heart. It's important for players to find a balance between their club and national team commitments. Hopefully, in the future there can be better coordination and understanding between players and cricket boards to avoid such situations.......🧐🤨

And Michael Bracewell will be leading the New Zealand team for the first time which is pretty cool. It's great to see him back in action after being sidelined for a year due to injuries. But its a bit of a shame that some key players like Trent Boult, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitch Santner and Kane Williamson won't be able to participate in the upcoming series against Pakistan. They are all tied up with their commitments in the Indian Premier League. It's always tough when players have to choose between club and national team duties.
