I wouldn't mind him in T20s but it was clear he and Hafeez shouldn't have been anywhere near the ODI side.

He will be in the Pakistan T20 squad for the World Cup - no doubts about it!

It’s all well and good that he’s performing in these leagues. But he’s shown time and time again, that when it really matters for his country he always goes missing.
He’s not gonna all of the sudden start defying his own nature at age of 40 and score clutch runs for us in the T20 World Cup.
This person has played every T20 World Cup there has ever been and hasn’t made a contribution of note in any of them.

He performed well in the 2007 edition. Remember his match winning Partnership with Misbah against Australia, when they were 45 -4 chasing 170. Since then there has not been much .

Pakistan batsman Shoaib Malik joins illustrious T20 club
Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik has become the fourth batsman in the world to score 9,000 runs in the T20 format. On Sunday, Malik achieved the feat during Guyana Amazon Warriors’ win over Barbados Tridents in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL). Malik played a brilliant cameo of 32 runs from 19 balls as Warriors defeated Tridents by 30 runs and entered the finals.
The former Pakistan cricketer has now scored 9,014 runs in 356 T20 matches he has played till. Besides, he has also scalped 142 wickets.
Swashbuckling West Indies opener Chris Gayle holds the record for being the leading run-getter in T20s. Gayle has 13,051 T20 runs to his name from 394 matches, and is followed by Brendon McCullum (9,922 runs in 370 matches) and Kieron Pollard (9,757 runs in 489 matches).
Malik, 37, has represented Pakistan in 35 Tests, 287 ODIs and 111 T20Is.

So is Malik necessary for any serious thoughts of doing well in the T20 World Cup?

How can he play 2021 T20I WC - cannot bat, bowl ???
Surely Pakistan must take a decision on him and not let him dictate his will

Sending Shadab and Imad over Shoaib Malik potentially costed 20-30 runs to Pakistan
Not only did tail ender level sloggers waste all those deliveries but it also broke Mohammad Hafeez 3.0 momentum.
Hope this disasterous decision by team management will not cost Pakistan the match.
Clearly team management is against him which is a shame

Shoaib Malik is also a slow starter just like Imad & Shadab. Pakistan simply lacks a power hitter down the order who can can smash it from ball one.
And before anyone says it...NO Umer Akmal is not the solution.

If Shoaib had gone in before they we would have scored 150 only. He would have scored 20 ball 22

Sums up his ability when Shadab and Imad are in ahead of him.

We need to have Asif Ali (The Hack) in T20. We must not play him in ODIs, just t20s.

Well said and it asks the questions why he is in the team.

Wow, so the coward didn't bat nor will he bowl. What exactly is he in the team for?

If he bats we ask why is he battng, should have sent someone else instead.
If he does not bat we ask why is he not batting, why is he in the team?
With all that being said, I would rather had Khushdil Shah in place of him in this game.
Now that he has neither batted nor bowled, he has technically not "failed" this game, and "warrants" a place in the next line up by Pakistan team management logic

And also the experience he carries!
Surely that is worth much more than giving a game to a youngster beauty

That's why I called him a coward and most likely why he did not bat.

Babar Azam in his post match press conference after the 3rd T20I vs England mentioned Shadab Khan was sent in ahead of Shoaib Malik because they required a power hitter.

Someone needs to explain what his job is:
-the team mgt don't think he's a power hitter (he's not)
-he's not a consolidator either, can't score at all
-doesn't bowl
Ruining other peoples' careers, the selfish vermin.

That could be a reason. Or because had he went in and failed his spot would have been in jeopardy. Now he can play against Zimbabwe and pad his stats, and ensure he wont be dropped.

Agree, why was he selected? What was the thought behind choosing him. I thought Shoaib was a power hitter I thought he role was to close the innings out. 15 balls left and Babar claims shadab and imad were brought out because their better power hitters then Malik. This is laughable!!

He came late to the tour in England - prima donna if there ever was one.

Shoaib Malik in this team is wasting a spot of someone who is more deserving. Why not try Khushdil Shah.
Good point
Imad is good enough but I agree about the rest
Yes power hitter after wasting 15 balls

2022 is also a big year, so you never know. 
There may be a comeback just around the corner.
