I’ve heard Misbah’s son was picked for the u19 squad

Can someone please share what are his performances and where has he made them to earn this call up?

@topspin there needs to be awareness raised and an enquiry into this selection of Faham ul Haq into the Pakistan u19 squad.

Didn't know Misbah had a son who played cricket but if he's in the squad simply because he is Misbah's son then its deplorable and should be condemned.

Maybe I am wrong, maybe he has credible FC performances. What are they? I guess you wouldn’t know because you didn’t know his son was in the system but I’m sure there are other Misbah supporters who will know

The little I have seen of his son. He's far worse than his dad and that says something. I don't know about his performances but I got a feeling his selected due to connections. Hope I am wrong if he actually is selected based on performance.

 

[Mohraheem]

Pirchi v2 in making… Misbah paying out in PcB TO SELECT HIS KID! That’s the whole reason why Misbah is not leaving Pakistan cricket. His mission is ruin Rizwan’s career and bring his kid into the international side! But I’m ready… things are going to get ugly with any poster who supports this

 

[Mohraheem]

Time to contact Wasim akram, Sohail tanveer and Lala… I’m a get inside scoop what the hell just happened

 

[batandballbattle]

Situation with Misbah's son is disgraceful but aside from that I'm looking forward to the further development of Ali Raza.

He's not going to develop in U19. He should be playing FC cricket but for some reason he's not getting games. He can't be injured if he's being picked for U19.

 

[batandballbattle]

He's not going to develop in u19. He should be playing FC cricket but for some reason he's not getting games. He can't be injured if he's being picked for u19.

Doesn't have to be either or. He can develop in both arenas.

 

[khyberlion]

He not going to get better by bowling to u19s.

 

[batandballbattle]

He not going to get better by bowling to u19s.

It's a start. The odd player he goes up against will make it.

 

[m.shah]

Corruption at its peak

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Situation with Misbah's son is disgraceful but aside from that I'm looking forward to the further development of Ali Raza.

He is actually a good talented pace bowling all rounder, is tall strongly built and steams in when bowling and even though he hardly bowls more than 80mph but is very aggressive in bowling and some of his wickets were due to extra pace , plus he is a stylish and technically correct batter and opens the innings and already scored couple of tons in grade II cricket , not a bad talent or nepotistic selection at all.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Just because he is Misbah Son that doesn’t mean he is a parchi , I can easily say that he is more talented than Ahmed Hussain the pace bowling allrounder we played in U19 worldcup , search on YouTube first before crying parchi parchi

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Faham is more talented than Sachin son for sure.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

A guy who is a technically correct opener and has scored tons and also has a built for fast bowling and is tall and can bowl a heavy delivery is the most rare breed in cricket, that alone should remove the parchi tag.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Faham has scored a century in the national u19 cup. Not sure if he is parchi or not but if you can score a century then you are some player for sure.

Let's see what he has got.

Let's see what he has got.

plus he has beautiful and smooth action and can ball pacy effort delivery as well plus he is tall and well built as well. Just search on him YouTube.

He opened the bowling with Ubaid Shah in some games while opening the batting in the same match.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

And in one grade II game he opened the batting for his team and scored 78 and then opened the bowling and got 3 wickets. Not sure a parchi can do that.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

This is one year ago , still looks 75-77mph here but now he has gone seriously quicker and has become well built , videos are available on YouTube but not clear enough like this one so I didn’t post it.

I will not rate these wickets even 1/10. unknown league.. But yeah, he has some good scores in national u19 cup and some wickets as well.

Cannot judge him without seeing him live.

Looks seriously quick here with bounce and has become well built as well , action has changed completely, looks like a proper U19 bowler.

 

[Mohraheem]

We don’t need him playing for Pakistan. We can give some other kid a chance. We don’t want corrupt players in Pakistan

 

[Bewal Express]

I thought he was a batsmen.

 

[Bewal Express]

And in one grade II game he opened the batting for his team and scored 78 and then opened the bowling and got 3 wickets. Not sure a parchi can do that.

So someone called him a parchi without having seen him. And the other thing to mention is that he will be genuinely the age he claims, which won't be true for more than 1/2 of them.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

He will just get this series and an Asia cup after that he will become 20 so not eligible for U19 World Cup.

Let him enjoy this run

Once you have been discovered then the U19 process has done its job. What is the point of him playing?

na, he has good u19 stats and is an allrounder.

The whining is by the usual haters.

The most hilarious whining was by Faisal Iqbal, out of all the people. He is picking fights with everyone, and people are saying that Faham has u19 stats that back his selection and is infact a batting allrounder that bowls pace.
