Talking about Pakistan batter Fakhar Zaman who scored 12(15) in their World Cup 2023 match against Netherlands, ex-Pakistan captain Salman Butt said Zaman is in "a mental mess". "He never had a proper technique. His thought process doesn't seem to be clear. He needs to clear his mind," Butt stated. Fakhar has scored 656 runs in 17 ODIs in 2023.
