Building a dynamic T20I squad for Pakistan to meet modern-day game requirements

[jamie smith fan]

Over years we have been made to beleive that pak has no talent and rizbar are the best t20 players in pakistan but they have now been exposed multiple times(t20 wc 2024 being biggest example).Also in recent times we have seen decent t20 players coming through who have outperformed rizbar.
With the pitches now being as flat as ever and the boundaries short,u need players who can play with a sr of 150+ and have the ability to hit sixes.Rizbar possess none of these abilities.
So with the t20 wc in 2026 u have enough time to create a new squad around youngsters who can actually play t20s like t20s.So players like rizwan,babar,agha,tayyab tahir should be shown the boot in t20s and never be selected again unless they have some mind blowing performance.

I have built a 15 man squad for pak in t20s.THe team I have selected has the ability to score 200+ on decent pitches and the players can hit sixes regularly unlike their peers and can also anchor if the pitch is a bit tricky.
I have selected the players based on recent international performance and performance in domestics.

playing XI

1 SAIM AYUB
2 MAAZ SADAQAT(good player of both spin and pace,can hit sixes from ball 1)
3 USMAN KHAN
4 HAIDER ALI
5IRFAN KHAN NIAZI
6 MOHAMMAD HARIS
7 ABDUL SAMMAD
8 SAAD MASOOD/MINHAS/MEHRAN

[Da_Future_Knick]

That bowling lineup would literally concede 250 runs against top teams lol

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Here is my 11

Saim Ayub
Hassan Nawaz
Babar Azam
Mohammad Haris
Haider Ali
Abdul Samad
Arafat Minhas
Shaheen Afridi
Naseem Shah
Haris Rauf
Abrar Ahmed

Maaz Sadaqat
Jahandad Khan
Sufiyaan
Abbas Afridi

A bit iffy on Haris's selection but he's interchangeable with Jahandad & Abbas.

Who'll keep in place of Haris?

 

[shamaan]

Usman Khan isnt good enough. Maaz Sadaqat bat at 3 and Haris open.

 

[Rana]

No point dreaming

Gary Kirsten wanted to give you a bright T20 team to compete with the big dogs

The PCB is too corrupt to let this happen.

 

[khyberlion]

You can't have a tail ender batting at 3.

 

[mominsaigol]

Can I take your perspective on Gillespie, aqib and Kristen?

Again I may be wrong or maybe I'm not reading the room correctly but imo both Kristen and Gillespie weren't very good.

I can't say for Kristen since I believe he was wrongly booted. They kicked him out before he had the chance to implement changes but I do believe sacking Gillespie was the right call.

Ik people have reservations about aqib and when it comes to t20 he's been utter rubbish.

However gotta give the guy credit for the following

A) Prepared uae tracks in pk
B) dropped babar from home tests + Zim
C) Allowed KG to finally have a career
D) made good selections that resulted in our first home win
E) Discarded rubbish like Imam, Shadab, Chacha etc.

However yes rubbish like Abdullah, Rizwan, Agha( In t20 only), are ever present courtesy of the man.

 

[Rana]

Can I take your perspective on Gillespie, aqib and Kristen?

IMO bro, it’s impossible to judge any coach for Pakistan at the moment as long as the current player structural hierarchy is being employed by the PCB.

A team or group of players consistently failing as white ball cricketers in comparison to world standards, but are continuously rewarded with selection and leadership roles.

I just cannot understand how Aqib was so blunt about his views on Babar and Rizwan before he coached Pakistan, only to then do the exact thing which people like Saqlain did before him? I really can’t be arsed to make assessments on these coaches until I can see some proper transparency and merit in the system. This means those players who have no business playing a format should be removed entirely.

Yeah I agree. The corrupt system goes way beyond coaches

 

[Barragan]

Maaz Sadqat as opener, yeah definitely not worth reading the rest.

 

[khyberlion]

Maaz Sadqat as opener, yeah definitely not worth reading the rest.

He should be in the team at the moment, but what is wrong with him? Have you seen him bat?

 

[Barragan]

Not a T20 batsman

Yes, I did see him in the champions cup

He should stick to the longer format for now

He clearly has the ingredients to be a solid t20 opener in future.

 

[Barragan]

He clearly has the ingredients to be a solid t20 opener in future.

I don't know about the future because it's up to him

But currently, definitely not a T20 batsman

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

No clue who is good in the middle order & also I won't make it all hypothetical, will just add a few players to the team that played the last T20. I also hope Saim is bowled regularly so we have an extra option. I'm not sure about the batting skills of Jahandad & Abbas so the batting does look light. A spin bowling all-rounder is necessary but not sure who will add that option.

There are obvious weaknesses in the team but I don't know of any players who can fill them up for now.

1. Saim (auto selects himself)
2. Haris (keeper + impact player)
3. Fakhar
4. Babar (these two are dynamic positions, if the right hander is out first Babar bats at 3, is Saim then Fakhar)
5. Ghulam (did do just barely enough to keep his place)
6. Niazi (don't think he's int'l level but he deserves a run as he's the incumbent)
7. Jahandad (needs to be given a proper run to see if he is able to do this job or not)
8. Abbas (a decent if not spectacular T20 player)
9. Shaheen (still the spearhead)
10. Rauf / Hasnain / Naseem (anyone else or a spinner if it's a turning pitch)
11. Abrar / Mehran / Arafat

Reserves include

1. Haider
2. Sufyan / Tariq / Rameez
3. Rizwan
4. Akif / Ihsanullah / Ali Raza

I hope there are a few breakout stars who do well. I did see a few that were impressive in patches but hard to say if they are good enough to play regularly.

 

[khyberlion]

I don't know about the future because it's up to him

But currently, definitely not a T20 batsman

Then I guess you haven't seen him. His offside play is better than most of our international players along with his timing and power. If players like Tayyab tahir, Salman etc are considered t20 players then he's definitely one.

No, he isn't a T20 player

 

[khyberlion]

No, he isn't a T20 player

And neither is Tayyab tahir and Salman agha who are our t20 players.

 

[jamie smith fan]

No, he isn't a T20 player

No, he isn't a T20 player

he has a sr of 140 and an average of 30 in t20s so how is he not a t20 player

 

[jamie smith fan]

And neither is Tayyab tahir and Salman agha who are our t20 players.

according to rizbar fans u should average 40 and have a sr of120 to be a t20 player

 

[jamie smith fan]

agee with ur squad but kg should be replaced by haider and jahandad at 7 will make the tail long

[GoUgandaCranes]

Haider is my reserve but he needs to prove himself. He made his name via classy cover drives & a lot of power but then started playing like a tailender & also gained a lot of weight. I still think he has potential but it's up to him to become a proper player.

 

[Barragan]

And neither is Tayyab tahir and Salman agha who are our t20 players.

Adding Sadqat would make it even worse then

 

[Barragan]

he has a sr of 140 and an average of 30 in t20s so how is he not a t20 player

Pretty misleading stat if ever there was one

Btw, it's actually below 140

 

[Cricket Warrior]

i think better to go back to Asif, Haris, khushdil etc because this current lot is totally useless for T20 cricket in which we have gems like Usman Khan

[BouncerGuy]

Problem is these so-called modern day batters cannot even bat more than 5-6 balls. Do we need that???

Bu the current lot with players like Usman, riz, salman is even worse atm... Asif Ali is the only guy I want to see make a comeback but he should be deserving for that

 

[jamie smith fan]

Time to bump this thread after recent shambolic performances and nz series in view.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Haider & Haris deserve a go.

The same people calling Haris a tailender are the same people that are crying about everyone playing slow lol

Aggressive players will fail but they are match winners who will take over games and win them.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Khawaja Nafay is another person who can fight for that opening slot.

The issue is most of Pakistan's explosive young hitters are openers.

Saim, Haris, Maaz, Hassan, Nafay....

 

[jamie smith fan]

Nafay can bat at 4 also.
HAaris at 5.

Khawaja Nafay is another person who can fight for that opening slot.

We need to back players who play for country not for stats like shakeel and rizbar.
It is better to lose by 100 runs while trying than by 60 runns while statpadding.

With saim out of nz t20s I would like to see this squad for nz t20s.

Maaz Sadaqat

why dont you ask the Pakistan management and the majority of the fans who have no problem whatsoever with RizBar being dropped in T20s?

Why do you have more issue with them being dropped in T20 as compared to another format like Test cricket maybe? Whats so humiliating for a two players who are 30+ to be dropped in T20? Why are you doing maatam because of this?

The poster claiming it puts in the hard yards to watch and study the domestic circuit in Pakistan to identify the talents that are needed to compete in modern white ball cricket. He isnt wasting his time like you are on facebook looking for absurd quotes to build his cricket knowledge. Put in the effort to,

1. First study what the modern requirements are across the globe.

2. Trying to look for those players in your domestic circuit to meet those global modern requirements.

Until you dont actually put in the effort to do this, I suggest you be quiet and refrain from embarrassing yourself like you currently are here and on other threads.

Their sample size is too small to be assessed.
Bring in overall T20 stats so that we have a clear idea.
Oby and Haris are surely better than this .
Let them play this series,then u should argue..
Agha is just a makeshift captain and will be soon replaced by shadab,saim or haris.
UK is just a hack and is just playing because he has earned it with performance in domestics.

Still Saim,Fakhar,Maaz,Haider and Arafat are missing.
When they come back it is going to be a truly modern squad.

Great idea to remove Babar and Rizwan and have an absolute tulla like Sadaqat in their place. Bhumrah and Cummins will eat him alive.

Dude Australia were forced to bring in a “Tullah” like Konstas to deal with Bumrah who was causing them all sorts of problems. He changed their fortunes. Never write these types of players off. The same could be argued for Fakhar coming in for Shahzad in CT17. Maaz is good, he also offers a bowling option.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Watch his batting first and then call him a tulla.
He has been doing so well at just 19 and u are calling him a tulla.
He is more talented than Saim when Saim was also 19
Which test match did Rizbar win for us in Aus??
Apart from 2021 WC when did they beat India in ICC tournaments?

Great idea to remove Babar and Rizwan and have an absolute tulla like Sadaqat in their place. Bhumrah and Cummins will eat him alive.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Great idea to remove Babar and Rizwan and have an absolute tulla like Sadaqat in their place. Bhumrah and Cummins will eat him alive.

FYI he is not a tulla.
He is a proper batsman and has better offside game than ur Kaptaana.

 

[jamie smith fan]

He also said that he idolizes Rizwan,then why do u hate him???

 

[Shehmir]

We dont need dynamic squad we need dynamic mindset to succeed. Current team approach is to play safe instead of playing to break the barriers.

 

[jamie smith fan]

The dynamic modern squad has well and truly arrived today.
Hopefully better days ahead

 

[cricfan432]

Saim and Haris to open hassan one down agha at 4. Fakhar maybe for the wc but play this team in bilaterals.

 

[shamaan]

Fakhar should still be in the xi come the world cup.

 

[kingusama92]

So many potential T20 openers in Pakistan right now.

Assuming all of them are doing well, I have no clue how they're going to fit them into the XI.

One of Mohammad Haris/Fakhar Zaman will need to drop into the middle order because Hassan Nawaz doesn't have the game to play in any other spot than as an opener.

1) Saim Ayub
2) Hassan Nawaz
3) Mohammad Haris/Fakhar Zaman
4) Salman Ali Agha
5) Mohammad Haris/Fakhar Zaman

They can do something like this but it's going to be tough for the batsman at #5. They will need to find a good specialist middle-order batsman that will allow them to automatically bench one of the openers.

 

[Xoib]

This is my XI

Saim
