Current crop of Pakistan Test spinners in home conditions

Mohammed Asghar has a bit of talent but cant land the ball twice in the same place. You can either take a punt on him and hope he steps up or continue with guys that are no better than poor county spinners.

Raza Hassan was the big hope, but instead he ruined his career.
 
Hopefully Zafar Gohar has a good stint with Gloucestershire. To be fair he was discarded way to soon by the former Pakistan management, which was very unfair on him.
 
Raza Hassan was the big hope, but instead he ruined his career.

He looked a good bowler at the U19 WC but he had lost a lot of his spinning ability by the time he played for PK and then his bone headed stupidity finished him.
Asghar can turn the ball, but needs to stop trying things and learn to bowl a consistent line and length. None of the other spinners can beat the bat with spin, he can.
 
You are replacing two mediocre spinners with two mediocre spinners.

We dont have any quality spinners and we need to accept that.

I would play 4 genuine quality quicks supported by part time spin of Shadab and Saud regardless of pitch and conditions.

Nawaz is a better batter and better bowler.Shadab can't be trusted to bowl in asain conditions he lacks control to bowl long spells.Saud is part Time at best.
 
Turns out we dont have spinners for both home and away!
 
I would say that we need to accept the mediocrity in the current lot of spinners (Few young ones might be hope for the coming future but, they are some seasons away) and try to compensate it with something that we have and that is spin bowling all rounders/spinners who can give lower order runs. Unless Yasir is in full fitness and form lets stick with Nawaz, Gohar, in next season or so Mubasir and push Shadab to improve fitness and play red ball cricket as atleast they can contribute in some other aspect as well while not being much of a downgrade from the current options.

There is Abrar Ahmed, Ali Usman etc unless are top quality spinners who can win the game on their heads wont add more to the game then the ones I have mentioned.
 
The focus on FC cricket has diminished greatly since 2016. Now there isn't any spinner in the system.
 
very unfair treatment for Nauman and Sajjid. They got asked to bowl on the flat tracks at home and on these spin heavens Aga Salman is bowling 15 overs, while these guys sit at home
