“Misbah-ul-Haq told me that I could do best at fourth or fifth batting position in T20Is”: Fakhar Zaman

TBH, Fakhar is playing on the basis of ODI performance atm..His t20 performance has been mediocre.. He looks wasted in T20s now...
 
Misbah saved his career by this advice, he would have been kicked out of t20 team long ago if he was in top prder
 
I agreed with @Mamoon view about fakhar.he is poor man Dhawan. Both are gun batsman in odi but struggles in T20 cricket. :kp
This format doesn't suit everyone. Pant has had his share of struggles by trying to over hit and losing shape. Fakhar is not only unsuitable. But he is visibly very old. Older than the "officially stated" age. By now he should have retired from this format.
 
Still think he will be more valuable at No.4 with the older ball. It's an easier position to bat and less pressure.

Agha needs to come at three between Saim, Sahibzada and Fakhar, Nawaz.

And, please, play a better batter at 6, not the relu-katta Mo Nawaz. Play Khushdil or Talat or them both and let Farhan keep wickets.

Once again, not true.

Fakhar Zaman in PSL 2025: avg 34 Sr 153 (2nd highest runs scorer)
2024 T20Is: Avg 27 Sr 152

He is selected on merit. He has till Asia Cup to perform and retain his place.
 
Fakhar Zaman scores a half-century after a long time, and what a great occasion to get it when Pakistan was on verge of collapsing against UAE in the match 5 of Tri-Nation series 2025. He needs to end well, currently at 54*(36)
 
A failed t20 batsmen. This should be his last game. A player with 100+ games and bats like he's playing a tape ball game with his friends.
 
He is suited more to No.4 but anyway that ship has sailed. Unorthodox technique for an opener so will not be able to score fast and hence always comes under pressure.
 
Fakhar is our best opener in ODIs since Saeed Anwar, but he is rubbish in T20. He shouldn't play T20 cricket for Pakistan after this Asia Cup.
 
Misbah was right, this guy sucked as a t20 opener
It is a shame Misbah never put him at 4 or 5 if he felt like this. I agree with him.

Probably folded to the pressure and kept him at no.3 as it’s the next closest thing to opening because of all the media/fans uproar fakhar wasn’t given the opening spot. Shouldn’t have folded to the pressure.
 
Pakistan will win this game but the top 1 to 5 is a joke. Idk about ba/riz but Pakistan desperately needs to get its top order together.

Someone has to step up.
