Former Test skipper Salman Butt said he will be seen in action as a commentator following his refusal to play in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2020-21.
While talking to Samaa Tv, Butt said there is no purpose left in playing First-Class cricket after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) conveyed to him that he is not in their future plans.

“Luckily, I have been told that I am not in PCB’s future plans, hence there is no purpose left in playing First-Class cricket,” said Butt. “I think I should move on now and try my luck in commentary. I am enjoying playing white-ball cricket and I will continue as long as I can,” he added.
Reportedly, Butt has been included in the commentary panel for Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2020-21. He will join tournament as commentator in the second round after playing for Lahore Qalandars in PSL 5 knock-out stage which is scheduled to take place from November 14 to 17 in Karachi.
