Karachi, Nov 22: Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf faces the risk of being downgraded in his central contract and could also be denied permission to play the Big Bash League after opting out of next month’s three-match Test series in Australia.
Rauf, whose contract carries a monthly retainer of over 4 million Pakistani rupees, is among six players who were handed ‘Category B’ contracts before the World Cup bound-team’s departure to India in September.
The ‘Category A’ has only three players including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi.
A reliable source said that some senior officials in the Pakistan Cricket Board were unhappy at the attitude of Haris. Pakistan’s new chief selector Wahab Riaz hit out at Haris Rauf earlier. (PTI)
