"Bold selection moves undertaken by the PCB": Mike Hesson previews the New Zealand vs Pakistan T20I Series

I am not bothered about winning or losing but rather using this opportunity to identify a group of 20-25 players who become the backbone of your T20 squad till the 2026 World Cup come around. The 15 player squad should be taken from this group only and not doing so will see us exiting in first round like at recent ICC tournaments.
 
I think i prefer him in the top order. That is where he normally seems to play in domestic. At the moment, we lack players who can dominate the PP overs and hit over the infield. He can do that.

I think players like Abdul Samad and Irfan Khan can be developed for 6-7 because, again, it is their natural position.
Yeah but I believe he's underachieved in domestic cricket so far as well as the PSL. I think his talents are best utilized at the death and that also gives room for other batters to take up the top order bc there are a lot of options for that. I just hope he's not discarded again if he fails a series or two at the top order. He's somoene who can be shuffled around to see what suits him best. Dynamic batsman that plays for the team

OBY

Tells me a lot about your cricketing acumen if you think Babar and Rizwan are best T20 batters. Usman Khan with a dodgy technique is way better than these two in T20Is and he is not even the best in Pakistan.
I'm sure you are very happy with the result today. Phul sapport to youngstas.
 
Irfan Niazi needs to man up at number 4. This guy said at the PSL draft that he likes ‘fighters’, well show it now! Don’t mind you getting out but not like that! A whole over of a bowler just keeping it in one place and you not moving your feet at all!
