Haha but bro seriously no other selector had guts to try or give chance to these spinners so credit goes to aqib.
Bro atleast appreciate these selector who are giving chances to proper spinners arafat will get his chance as well better than bits and pieces spinners pak had before so great thinking by selectors here.
Ya true that was good period as well for pakistan in spin department.
Exactly appreciate the good things being done atleast some new talent is getting chance to showcase their skills whether they are good average or bad it’s besides the point we are moving past the stage when the whole selection revolved around those 15-16 players
Ya so true bro atleast aqib has guts to try new spinners and spinners are proving him right now pak talent is getting bigger with bulk of players being tried out which never used to happen in pakistan.
Well to their advantage better teams are as rubbish against spin so these guys will play for long because they have one thing which they are so good at is to spin the ball which imad shadab nawaz never had.
Yes we saw how good Abrar was against England. As I said let's wait till they play better teams.
Abrar player in a road pitch how hard is it to understand cricket conditions same abrar will exposed bazball in spinning pitch just like how noman and sajid did cricket is not football conditions matters the most thing in cricket.
Abrar after his debut game averages over 40 with the ball. He looked rubbish against Bangladesh too. For him to succeed he needs to spin the ball which he hardly does. This mystery rubbish won't work in tests and hence he has struggled as the teams have figured him out. Won't take long for him to be exposed in limited overs either.
Well not agreed on your points abrar might not looked the best pak still got plenty of spin options noman sajid in limited over you got sufiyan arafat faisal so hold on aqib is changing and bringing pak to its glory again remember how back then pak used to dominate with ajmal rehman afridi and hafeez so old days are coming again.
You don't have to agree, Abrar being useless was in front of our eyes. He's bringing glory by appointing Salman as a t20s captain when he shouldn't be in the team? I want this glory to end. Anyone who appoints rizwan and Salman as t20 captain shouldn't be near our cricket. Let's not forget he picked the worst t20 squad in our history.
So you want to make hack looser like mohammed harris captain who cant even last six balls who else is there sharjeel the fat fixer azam khan lol aqib has selected your team no selectors had the guts to try new players.
When did I say I want those guys as a captain? Stop making things up when you don't tackle the post.
I am asking you who do you want to bring does pak has got better options than currently being tried out give us any names.
so true bro aqib is not scared of trying new things unlike paindu babar who wanted to keep his buddies in all matches he would never tried these spinners.
No you didn't you assumed that I want Harris as a captain.
Ok my bad but i am asking you got any names you want to try?
Why do you think that you still need spinners there and pak should and will play 2 spinners there.
How is arafat is he as good as sufiyan?
I didnt say anything about him being as good or better I am saying that these guys should get a chance as well to see what they can do
Spinners won't get much success there and as you already know our fast bowlers are quite pathetic in red-ball cricket. They are surely going to be thrashed in South Africa.
Arafat Minhas is an all rounder. He's an excellent fielder and a can bat. As a whole he's far better than sufiyan.
Well pak always had this formula in misbah days in uae going with spinners thats where sena teams struggle misbah used to employ that to full effects aqib is making sure to do that way again.
Ya they were all stubborn never used to respect conditions always wanted to play same bowling babar never tried out new spinners in his whole tenure micky we all know used to hate spinners on spinning pitch he would play 4 fast bowlers thats where i liked the brain of misbah he used to read sena team weakness so well.
We need to get out of “package mode” which is what us let us down in recent past.
Shadab in terms of potential is a much more dynamic player than all of these. But his inability to prioritize and fix his cricket has affected Pak Cricket a lot. When Shadab does well, Pak wins more often than not. With the bat, he has more range and gears than the likes of Azam, Iftikhar, Nawaz, Irfan, Agha etc. I think he has stopped paying attention to his legspin altogether now. His recklessness is still affecting Pak Cricket.
Pakistan must move on from confusing “dynamic player” with specialist spinners.
Shadab was noticed because of his primary discipline ie spin bowling. He maintained an economy rate of under 7 while getting more than 1 wicket per match earlier on. It was around 2020 that he really lost the plot with his bowling. He was exceptional in both wt20 2021 and 2022 going for just 6 an over. It's a shame that he's declined so much with his bowling.
since Ajmal, Pakistanis have only seen allrounders and have forgotten the value of specialist spinners.
Pakistan has not fielded specialist spinners in white ball cricket since Ajmal. India in the meantime always has 1 and at times even 2 specialist spinners in the line up like Chahal and Yadav, who offer nothing with the bat. Do you think Pakistanis, specially “newer fans”, don’t know the difference between allrounders and specialist spinners because that’s what they’ve seen since a decade Imad, Nawaz, Shadab, Hafeez, MalikShadab does not have more range and gears than anyone above a no.8 batter
He started out as a promising bowling AR and he decided to become bits and pieces and remoddled himself as a batting AR.
He is not Hafeez or Malik. They were decent middle order batters. Nawaz tried to be this too.
The only route is a specialist spinner.
I think spin allrounders are fine.

Abrar faisal and sufiyan arent better than arafat as spinner
I haven’t seen much of him. Isn’t Arafat a left arm spinners. Typically wrist spinners are seen as wicket taking options.
You hate aqib because he removed bobby. However at the end of the day, the guy is getting results.
I have a problem with Aqib because he is one of these characters who takes credit for success but not responsibility for failure. His tenure will end in tears and Rizwan will definitely outlast him as captain.
the irony of this statement 
Removed Babar but brought in Rizwan lol.
He didn't bring in Rizwan. He had no choice. Misbah and ramiz made it so that their were virtually no options left for whiteball.
UAE conditions were perfect for pakistan in past as they had quality spinners, plus pacers who did damage with older ball (these pacers, may not have been world beaters, but were ideal for these conditions)
The risk is exaggerated, and these myths have recently turned Pakistan into a laughingstock in Test cricket.
Ya so true these guys will never be happy pak beat england into pieces and these guys want pitches for fast bowlers who cares as long you winning with your strength which is to play spin and bowl spin india never changed their pitches they always have rank turners why should pak change their plans spin wickets are always going to give positive results to pakistan i dont understand pak fans seriously.
There is some colonial hangover.
Big test coming up.. lets see how it goes for him in SA
