Yeah, Bro. Mohammad Zeeshan was so hyped but he has looked very ordinary here. Also where is ali raza and also Obaid not getting a game.
Agreed Zeeshan doesn't look anything special but still he should be playing competitive domestic games as he is young and there is a chance he can develop in to a very good bowler and clearly Ali Raza and Ubaid should be playing each and every game as they are definitely more talented then some of the pacers on display.
How can you discover talent when you don’t give chances to young players and keep selecting tried and tested domestic duds.
Mubasir is not only a bowler but his batting skills are also better than Arafat atm. I will take Mubasir over Arafat because we also need an off-spinner and Mubasir has that experience.
Arafat is 2X a batter than Mubasir if you have seen him play , Arafat has got a power game , can handle 140k pace with ease , can play bounce and knows how to build an innings and remain not out , haven't seen his game against spin to say anything but against pace he is much much better than Mubasir , bowling wise Arafat turns it more than Mubasir and is equally accurate.
Azan Awais is a very limited batter who can only play in the V and is not good against high pace and movement , but he knows how to grind and score tons that's his only strong point , recently in grade 2 cricket he ends up having average of 100.98 with a highest score of 184 not out.
I think Faisal Akram should be the 11th man, Tayyab Tahir can also be a good pick and Arafat Minhas should also have been part of this tournament.
Usman Tariq is not playing as well. Strange thing. Maybe due to his bowling action drama that happened in PSL But SAIM AYUB AGAIN???? Nope.
No other hitter we have , may be try Shahwaiz Irfan , he is also highly talented but failed the fitness test for champions cup.
Give this team a clear instruction that each and every batter has to bat at 160+ S/R and no need to worry about your personal score or team score just go there and bat with extreme aggression even if you get all out for less than 80 runs. Trust me this mindset will result in they scoring 200+ more often then not.
May be the mentors doesn't see anything special in him? That's the only reason I am think of. Or the PCB is trying to find the best of the current experienced domestic lot so that they can say they are best of the best in Pak and if we still lose then it's not our fault we selected the best experienced performers.
We have an odi series in Nov against australia as well. A bit of List A is needed to prepare.
Bilateral ODI series have never mattered less. Generally ODI cricket is meaningless outside ICC tournaments.
It'll matter when Australia whoops pakistan into next week, ct 2025 is an odi tournament and we play less odi then we do test until then, this tournament is for understanding who to select and who not to considering odi is also down under the water atm
I don't think anyone will care. It's a meaningless bilateral ODI series. Most teams these days use them to try out to new players. Pakistan won a bunch of meaningless bilateral ODI series before the last World Cup. Didn't stop them from getting embarrassed at the World Cup.
Well Australia are going full strength considering it's their home den and their playing full strength against England atm
If you are talking about Mohammad Mohsin, he just played one match.
I hope this guy is not a flash in the pan and any picks that you found impressive.
Let us hope.
I also heard about Kamran Ghulam, but didn't watch him bat yet.
Hasnain really surprised me in this tournament... the way he is bowling i believe he is going to make a comeback into the team very soon.
