What did Shoaib Jatt say about Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan?

Jatt also spoke about the team selection that was fielded in the matches. He has been a critic of Haris Rauf's performances in the tournament. Moreover, he also raised questions over Shadab Khan's selection into the World Cup 2023 squad. 

They fielded Haris Rauf in the Playing XI today as well (against England). How is his selection justified?
