we are stuck with Shehzad and Umar for the next 10 years atleast.
Mostly likely, let look at the bright side, though, its better than being stuck with Farhat and yk.
The selections of Kamran and Shehzad while i don't agree with ( especially Kamran), don't bother me because they are merited given performances and circumstance. Having said that its the selection of Professor and the likes of Tanvir/Zakir, which tell me nothing has changed.
There is no reason to select professor, it shows seniority mentality still exists.
Zakir's selection shows little, though. Yes, the guy has done well in domestic cricket overall ( failed in List A recently, though), but he is another accumulator. It makes no sense and shows the selectors are just looking at run charts not where and how the runs were made. Talat is a modern player and had a great list A tournament, its good he went to Bangladesh but what was the harm in playing him vs Windies?
Also, we all know we need an explosive opener especially now with Sharjeel being a crook. We have very little but at least try someone other than a 36-year old who bar a few games has largely failed in his career and averages 26 with the bat. Naveed Malik and Awais Zia are both hacks but one of them should be given a chance at the top of the order until someone better emerges.
She had I still have smidgeon of hope for, but he will have to remake himself in the international level. The thing is we know he does have a free flowing game, we have seen it like in his debut ton against NZ or that 100 he made against SA in SA.
Umar's case is depressing, he used to average close to 55 in first class now 44. Till he has a great domestic season he is lost.
What games me some hope though is that the teams that Inzi has been selecting for A tours have largely been very good, as others have pointed out as well. In the past, A tours were paid holidays for ttfs who were to horrible for even the national team or for the relatives of PCB officials.
incompetent
This makes me believe that rather then being corrupt/incompetent izni is just too nice. He still knows a lot of the older generation at a personal level and this getting in the way. If he gets over that then maybe there is some hope.
