My opinion on Wasim Khan has not changed. He is an expensive mistake. PCB created a new position in its hierarchy and are paying him 40 lakh rupees per month for a role that should have been fulfilled by Mani itself.
10 lakhs are probably for his British accent. The only thing he has done is implement the system that was formulated by Imran Khan himself, so what is he doing?
Sarfraz is utter rubbish and should be kicked out from all formats immediately, and Misbah has been rewarded for his blunder-ridden captaincy tenure. If he was serious about showing his coaching credentials, he should have proved himself in PSL first.
Early days but the concern is there is no change in terms of tactics, game-plan, the vast majority of players who have been brought back are tried and tested failures and several players needed dropping but have continued to be selected by the new management set-up.
I don't feel excited about the state of Pakistan cricket at the moment.

Good selections by Misbah. People must understand that for a T20 game, this was a good team overall. Umar Akmal batted at one down after a long time. The batting unit was perfect for a T20 game. Everyone except Babar and Sarfraz were capable of hitting big sixes. That’s what you want in a T20 batting unit.
It was just a collective bad day for batsmen. At least the myth that Misbah will bring back tuk tuk batting has already busted.
You are probably the only guy here today who called the selections good selections.

I don’t have an agenda or a bias against Misbah. He picked an attacking team for T20s which is a big positive. He can’t go and bat for them. It is batsmen’s fault if they can’t last even 20 overs.
Haris, Fakhar, Shehzad, Akmal.
All four can attack. However, Akmal fails 9 out of 10 times. Why play him instead of consistent Haris? Haris can hit big too.
Haris is not even a good T20 batsman.
Iftikhar the only batsman who has been striking well has been dropped and best T20 batsman in the world Babar has been moved to number three, just so this loser insaan can accommodate his friends Shehzad and Akmal.
As a Pakistani, I always want the team to win and do well. But now, a part of me actually wants us to crash and burn just so that those who were calling for Mickey's head are put in their place!
With Misbah's appointment, the PCB has rewarded failure handsomely! The guy has a proven track-record of senseless selection, defensive mindset and a defeatist mentality! Just 2 LOI matches in, and we've already taken 10 steps back with the selection of Shehzad and Akmal!
Horrendous start, but I did not expect anything different from Misbah!
I was one who despised Mickey's lack of ruthless decisions and Inzi's support for certain oldies, however, both of them seem head and shoulders above Misbah who is an all round disgrace. He blackened the face of Pakistan cricket once before from 2011 to 2015, and he is back again to take us to number 9 in the rankings in all formats. Shameless, beghairat insaan. Jitni gaaliyan do kam hai.

Lamo. This. This shameless person is on a mission to destroy our cricket and if anyhow Babar at 3. I will lose it.
)Umar akmal and shezads selection. Yes misbah deserves blame
But sarfraz not knowing how to bat. Fakhar zaman aswell amd babar azam being a big joke.
That is not misbahs fault.

Misbah really had no reason to take up this role. He was already a very well respected person, but now if things go badly, he runs the risk of loosing all the respect he’s accumulated over the years.
It’s a shame really, Misbah is one of the few genuinely well respected and honourable cricketers we had.
The next revolution Don Misbah is going to bring is the return of Malik and Hafeez instead of Umar Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad. The cycle will continue on.
The Dark ages have just begun. If Sri Lankan C team can thrash Pakistan in T20s then just imagine what the stronger teams are going to do to us. Get ready for a demolition.
In an extremely competitive international environment of cricket, PCB has hired a politicized Newbie in form of Misbah, hence, this was expected.

Under the dark Mickey Arthur era, who would have thought:
* Shoaib Malik would be dropped
* Hafeez would be dropped
* Sarfraz would be sacked as captain and dropped from all the formats
..and, above all, never in Pakistan's cricketing history we've taken so many debutants to a high profile foreign tour.
Naseem Shah
Musa
Abid Ali
Khushdil Shah
Usman Qadir
Kashif Bhatti
Rizwan, Iftikhar also come in.
This is totally unheard of in Pakistan's cricketing history. And it's a super daring move.
Can they deliver?
The names you have listed it will be a miracle if any of them can match Malik and Hafeez performance over the years in Asia where those two were decent players. In away conditions well Apart from Abid ali there is not a lot of hope.
I hope you don't expect bowlers to outperform batsmens.
But you can't rule out their comebacks, as it is a typical trend. This is considered a tough tour, if the newbies fail, then the real test of Misbah will start, as we will know then whether he will succumb to the media pressure in bringing back the oldies or not.
Yes it doesn't rule out a comeback, but at least Misbah has stopped free holidays for them.
He wanted to give free holidays to Shazad and Ukmal by giving them easy games at home to against Sri-lanka expecting them to perform against them and then play them in future at the back of it. Luckily for Pakistan fans they failed.
Yes he made a blunder, there's no doubt about that. Now do we lash him?
This is a new low for PP. Why are we being so knee jerk? It is just a T20I match, relax. Let's be more patient Misbah 2-3 years at least.
In these 2-3 years we have the test championship and 2 T20I world cups.
I don't care about t20 cricket at all so we can lose as much as needed there. But test championship is important, and Misbah is much better at tests than Mickey Arthur ever was so he's perfect for improving our test team.
If anyone thinks Misbah is going to take us to great heights in Tests, they are delusional. Sure, we will probably start winning UAE and Asia tests again, but outside of that, expect a completely average performance. Misbah was pretty poor outside Asia, and we have a lot of tough away tours coming up ...
He was only poor in Aus and SAF. we can do well in England and New Zealand.

Not playing Hasnain was harsh.
After Irfans performance, it should be a foregone conclusion that Hasnain is in next game.

I very much doubt it , misbah this time round will not have the services of younas khan, ajmal and Yasir Shah ain't the same.
