Based on what is he batting at 5 in international cricket? A place where you need your most dynamic limited overs batsman

Short ball struggles, feet all over the place and then out.
Simple set up.
Only thing is that SA pacers will now keep up short stuff for rest of series to such batsmen.
As i mentioned after 1st odi, will get peppered by short ball. Simply cant handle it.
This guy is batting at number 5 for our national team . . poor guy! I really feel for him . . its not his fault . .
Its our selectors and decision makers who've got blinkers on . . this is one of the worst team selections I have seen for a Pakistan team EVER . . and we usually mess up selection . .
This guy is at best a late order T20 hitter . . and he's being asked to bat at number 5 in a 50 over game . . as ludicrous as it gets
So why is it that we find out in international thay danish cant play short ball?
Didnt waseem etc knew this ny watching domestix?
That shows our selectors just look at the domestic stats and don;t bother to watch the player playing and his technique . No wonder players like Danish , Khushdil and Asif keep playing for Pakistan.
His domestic stats dont warrant selection either.
Youngsters do not face pacers the calibre of Nortje or bat on surfaces like the Wanderers in domestic cricket.
Our pacers are generally short and skiddy, relying on movement in the air than bounce, and the ball bounces knee high on our bland pitches.
So no surprise Danish Aziz has struggled.

I feel sorry for Danish. Poor guy is being thrown into deep end only to fail. Pak management always do it. Give few chances to unprepared youngsters, they fail, then bring back old players like Hafeez n Malik.

He is not a 16 year old kid.He is a club level player.It is waste of time to persist with him.I feel sorry for Danish. Poor guy is being thrown into deep end only to fail.

Tough ask to be out there facing Ngidi, Rabada and Njorte, but the best swim rather than sink.
I don't blame the lad, rather the people who have put him in this position.

We always love to play the blame game , if he is not ready at age 25 then he never would be. Blames comes on the selectors of course but he should have made the best of the opportunities given.
What a disgrace of a selection

The fact is he looks out of his depth. The people who have picked him should have realised that.
He's scored a few runs in domestic and somehow the selectors think he is good enough.
Didn't you yourself tweet he should get a chance ?
Then he must be on Karachi's quota .
It isn't right to judge his skill with this tour. As a newbie you would want to be eased into Intl Cricket, not thrown in with pitbulls. Sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't, he should have played against Zim or atleast in the home series against SA and then selected for this tour. Now he will be dropped and if his replacement, Haider does well, then thats the last we hear of him
Good post. It's so tempting to say that team management does it deliberately to end a player's career. You just don't take a newbie to SENA when there are plenty of other opportunities to ease them in. Against poor teams they play the likes of Malik and Hafeez so they can cash on.
All in all he looked very nervous and looked very slow to even move his bat. Should go back to domestic and improve his technique and average.
In the past every domestic squad had 2 or 3 top-class pacers, some even more at their disposal.
Nowadays there is a distinct lack of out and put pace bowlers playing in domestic cricket in Pakistan.
Danish has probably only seen the likes of Nortje, Rabada and Ngidi in his nightmares.

This is only reason which I can see for the selection of Danish and Sarfaraz, they have some disillusion of entitlement that they deserve special treatment because they are victim of negligence (which I never really get to understand ).

I think there are still many bowlers in Pakistan who are faster than Rabada and Ngidi at least. The main problem is the bounce, Pakistani or SC batsmen in general are not used to ball flying pass their nose all the time. And Danish simply doesn't have the required technique for these conditions.

I believe conditions and the kind of bounce which he possibly only prepared for in practice is the main issue. Playing the likes of Nortje, Rabada and Ngidi could have been easier on surfaces where the bounce would have been which he is used to playing since the young age.
Media reports saying Danish and Asif will be dropped for the next game
Then I guess Shafique and Rauf are on Lahore/Punjab quota considering they have done literally nothing in domestic cricket. Danish Aziz at least averaged in the 70s in the National T20s and has a overall decent List A record.
TBH I also think Aziz was picked too early but its ridiculous that some people think there is some sort of Karachi quota and it is weird that anytime a Karachi player doesn't perform, this mythical quota is brought up. Why aren't regional quotas blamed for the likes Rauf and Asif Ali?
Do you think Fawad Alam, Tabish Khan and Asim Kamal would have rotted away in domestic cricket if there was a "Karachi quota"?
Asif Ali is selected based on the friendship quota, not the regional quota![]()

As terrible as Danish has been he should not be dropped. You would have thought the management would have done their homework to pick him. If he’s dropped after 2 games then the whole logic of selecting him is flawed.
Asif should rightly be dropped, considering he has consistently failed in international cricket and had no merit of a come back.
Understandable but hopefully he is not written off. He should get the full T20 series considering that is his strongest format.
