Afridi is a bowler for god's sake.

Afridi is a bowler for god's sake.

So bowlers can be thrown in right away but not the batsmen? Be sensible man!

 

[Gullycricket]

From we have no talent now to we have an abundance of talent......Another U-turn just like his retirements

Yes, yes they can.

We’ve had players playing domestic for almost a decade who have done consistently well ... and yet they were ignored by PCB or selected too late.

 

[Usman]

By this logic, we need to return Barber and Fakhar to domestic cricket with immediate effect. Come back in 3 or 4 years Barber and Fakhar

The reality is that there are no hard and fast rules. It's true consistent performances over a sustained period in domestic cricket should be a good indicator for likely international success. But it is just that - a good indicator. Spending 3/4 years in domestic cricket cannot be an absolute requirement, because some batsmen simply don't need it.

 

[Farhansk]

We are thankless people, Shahid Afridi is offering his million dollar advice for free and we are not taking it seriously.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

You mean our domestic where bowlers are averaging 18 or 17 for fun?

 

[Mirpur express]

Afridi is a funny guy..

Afridi is a bowler for god's sake.

He is a bowler when scoring ducks. He is a batsman when his bowling is ineffective. The amount of excuses given for this guy are on another level.

 

[MenInG]

Focus on the message.

7 wickets in 1 game. Fluke.
