Are Sahibzada Farhan, Salman Ali Agha and Usman Khan good enough for international cricket?

The more I see of Sahibzada the more I realise the push for him to play international cricket is because he really wasn't really given a chance previously. He's a good player, but international level is a completely different beast.

Salman Agha on the other hand needs time in the crease, and unfortunately for him T20 doesn't give you that option. Should really stick to the longer format. I was surprised he was given the T20 captaincy tbh.

Finally on to Usman Khan. He's an average batsman that performed well in the PSL and the UAE. But everytime he bat's he shows his total lack of match situation and shows his deficiencies when facing pace, none more-so than what we've seen in the T20s vs Australia.

He looks cumbersome and ill-suited to the international format, and that too against an Australian second string.

It just shows you have bad our current crop of players are, and how the selectors keep falling in the same mire time after time.

A persistent and consistent saga of hiring and firing selectors.

Salman is. It's just that T20s is not his game.

Farhan has failed in T20 formats. May do well on Pakistani pitches.

Usman is the ugliest hack I've ever seen to play for Pakistan. He should simply go back to UAE
 
Brother they are failures at international level, a lost cause
 
They should all be given more time but Sahibzada doesn't deserve as long a rope as the other two.
 
Farhan shpuld he tried only for tests.

I like Agha, but t20 ain't his thing.

I still back usman Khan.

^^ Ik unpopular opinion, please don't bash me
 
Only Usman is a T20 batsman (on slow flat pitches).

Others have absolutely no power game and certainly not against pace bowling.

I’m still shocked why these guys are selected for T20s - it makes absolutely no sense!! Perhaps you can try some of them in Tests as they are not fit for even ODIs.

India has young talent like:
Tilak
Abhishek
Sanju

coming up, absolutely setting the world of T20 batting on fire and scoring above 200 for fun.

What do we have? These jokes.
 
And your post also missed:

Haseebullah
Irfan (not sure what he is, neither a bowler nor batter).

All are zero quality.
 
I didn't include them because they've got the skillset to do well in T20s.

Especially Irfan who looks the part whenever I've seen him bat and field.

Haseebullah is still young and finding his way into international cricket but has shown flashes of what he can do. Will he be suited in international formats, we simply won't know until he plays more.
