[EXCLUSIVE] Asad Shafiq opens up on his role as a Selector in interview with PakPassion

[Cricket Warrior]

Former Test stalwart of Pakistan Asad Shafiq joins Saj Sadiq for an exclusive interview in which he talked about:

1. His decision to retire from internationals
2. Possibility of him becoming a selector in the future
3. Young exciting prospects
4. Why T20 leagues are becoming a priority for youngsters?
5. His heated argument with Iftikhar Ahmed in SPL & much more.

 

[Asad T]

"Sahibzada Farhan, Kamran Ghulam, Muhammad Hurraira are some of the highly talented players in domestic. Omair Bin Yousuf is another exciting prospect."
Do you guys agree with Shafiq's assesment?

I believe he has the potential to be an excellent selector for Pakistan cricket.

One of the calmest batters of Pakistan in recent years. In my opinion he should have played more international matches for Pakistan. He knows Pakistan cricket very well, especially Karachi cricket and its cricketers and should be a good choice as a selector.

 

[volcyz]

Talks sense unlike other clowns going into the setup with agendas and super biases

 

[Suleiman]

Interested in his selection technique.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

As a selector, I don't expect injustice from his side.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

A very friendly and well spoken guy Asad Shafique is.

I am sure as a selector he can bring some talent that has been continuously neglected from Karachi.

 

[Saj]

One of the very few Pakistani former players who is calm, intelligent and talks sense.

What a fantastic ambassador he was for Pakistan cricket.

 

[Asad T]

I hope he gets appointed, he would add a lot more credibility to the setup with Wahab at the helm and Kamran as his consultant.

I think @Saj was telling a totally opposite story a while ago.

Sorry or may be i am mistaking him for someone else.

 

[Saj]

Sorry or may be i am mistaking him for someone else.

I don't think so.

Always rated him as a great ambassador for Pakistan cricket.

 

[Saj]

Seems to be to nice of a guy to get involved with working as a selector.

Will probably make a good batting coach.
