In a tweet, Latif urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to refrain from making a joke of itself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the Green Brigade&#39;s recent concluded Test series against Australia, Naseem Shah, 16, made his debut for the senior team before he was selected into the Pakistan U-19 team for the Youth World Cup last week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Taking to Twitter, the 51-year-old wrote: &quot;Pakistani Cricket Team&#39;s players are going to U-19s. U-19s are going to U-16s, U-16s to U-13s &amp; U-13s back to their mothers&#39; laps. For God&#39;s sake PCB, correct the ages &amp; don&#39;t destroy (your reputation) by working with crooked diploma doctors, don&#39;t make a joke of yourself.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, former Pakistan opener and ex-chief selector Mohsin Khan also raised his voice over Shah&#39;s selection in the U-19 squad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It just shows that we are not developing players at the junior level and instead focus on winning events. Imagine a Test player playing alongside youngsters in the Junior World Cup. What impression does it create of Pakistan cricket,&quot; Khan opined.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan had lost the Test series against hosts Australia 2-0.<\/p>\r\n",
