[EXCLUSIVE] "Misbah's defensive mindset cost us big matches": Awais Zia

[BouncerGuy]

In Pakpassion's latest exclusive interview, Awais Zia, former Pakistan T20 cricketer and a seasoned domestic performer, spoke about the challenges, setbacks, and untold stories from his cricketing journey.

Known for his aggressive style, Awais shared his honest views on selection biases, his PSL experience, and the struggles faced by talented players in Pakistan’s cricketing system.

Main topics covered in this interview:

The "T20 Specialist" trap: He emphasized that the T20 label prevented versatile batsmen like Saim Ayub and himself from playing in Tests or ODIs, even though they had the necessary skills.

Misbah's legacy and Babar Azam's future: He pointed out that Misbah’s conservative style often stalled momentum, but unlike Misbah, Babar’s slower approach is offset by his higher scoring rate.

Domestic dominance and exclusion from the National team: He highlighted that despite leading T20 stats in 2019, he was notably overlooked for the national side, indicating unfair selection practices.

Karachi Kings and the Sharjeel Khan mystery: He remarked that, although Sharjeel Khan was out of form, the franchise continued to prioritize him over potentially in-form players.

Pakistan's player development deficiencies: He stressed that a lack of guidance and early labeling stifles potential, leaving many players sidelined or restricted to one format.

Rawalpindi's cricket culture & influencers: He noted that internal politics and key individuals hold significant sway, often disrupting fairness and transparency in team selections.

[The Bald Eagle]

After a long time, witnessing some player coming so openly against Misbah's whimsical approach.

 

[daytrader]

Factually incorrect, he didn't hit Steven Finn's first ball for a 6

 

[Major]

Just saw the teaser at the start, its just hilarious watching this guy complain about his own lack of fitness. Be thankful you were given 5 T20 matches and can call yourself an ex international player.

Obviously, he is salty about not getting a chance to play test cricket with an avg of 38......

Like the guy had a strike rate of 87 in t20 cricket and he has the gal to critisize Misbah for being defensive?

When did small time players were even allowed to talk about Pakistani Hall of Famers?

3...2....1... Awais Zia will become the poster boy of some. Some will be advocating for him to be coach now @daytrader

Yup the 66/2 in the power play crew is waiting to jump on this, cause you know,
he's talking about taking advantage of the 'circle'.

Btw the 2nd t20 of that series is where he got exposed. Finn and Broad showed him that he's out of league. Played 11 dot balls out of 12 trying to swing at everything when wickets were falling all around him. Really embarrassing...

Should have listened to Misbah ke Finn tezz balling karata hai

When people like him fail, they think it was a conspiracy out to get them instead of accepting that they need to up there game or solve their own fitness issues

The "T20 Specialist" trap: He emphasized that the T20 label prevented versatile batsmen like Saim Ayub and himself from playing in Tests or ODIs, even though they had the necessary skills.

^^ This doesnt even make any sense. Saim ayub was like a toddler during misbah's era lol. How can he play test during misbah's era? As for test, Awais zia didnt deserve to play test, wasn't a very good player.

Misbah's legacy and Babar Azam's future: He pointed out that Misbah’s conservative style often stalled momentum, but unlike Misbah, Babar’s slower approach is offset by his higher scoring rate.

^^ Agreed here, Both are slow batters but babar in odi is > Misbah, However their both selfish accumulators at the end of the day and misbah botched way too many games in whiteball.

Domestic dominance and exclusion from the National team: He highlighted that despite leading T20 stats in 2019, he was notably overlooked for the national side, indicating unfair selection practices

^^ Fair, He should have been tried in t20 in 2019. Rizwan coming as an opener out of the blue was a brain dead decison.

Karachi Kings and the Sharjeel Khan mystery: He remarked that, although Sharjeel Khan was out of form, the franchise continued to prioritize him over potentially in-form players.

^^ Agreed, Sharjeel was spent post ban.

Pakistan's player development deficiencies: He stressed that a lack of guidance and early labeling stifles potential, leaving many players sidelined or restricted to one format.

Agreed.

Rawalpindi's cricket culture & influencers: He noted that internal politics and key individuals hold significant sway, often disrupting fairness and transparency in team selections.

No comment, idrc about this statement that much.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

He didn't take his chance. You cant blame a skipper for a conservative approach if you have 87 SR after 5 matches.

He has one of the worst T20I career in the history of the game as an opener

 

[Kianig89]

Fortunately I have watched him live in Dubai against England, was a complete embarrassment

 

[RidiculousMan]

Awais never lived upto the hype in intl Cricket that was created in domestic.

 

[LordJames]

Waiting for any Pakistan Ex-Player to put their hand up and say, "My performance didn't warrant selection!"

My stats were below average.

He should be thankful to Misbah, who gave him the whole series. Captain Afridi dropped him after 1 match

 

[moghul]

Enjoyed the candid talk by this very aggressive and talented cricketer. He singled out Misbah as the destroyer of Pakistan cricket , can't agree more with him .

After a long time, witnessing some young player coming so openly against Misbah's whimsical approach.

Young player

Awais Zia is 38

 

[Major]

Factually incorrect, he didn't hit Steven Finn's first ball for a 6

Fun fact, he actually got out to finn on a slower delivery

 

[Markhor]

Too many Pakistani cricketers look for scapegoats and refuse to do any introspection. I remember watching him in 2012 and he looked all over the place. Nothing to his batting other than wild swishes.

 

[Kianig89]

With a SR of 87, he had the audacity to label Misbah defensive

Remember Rifatullah? Guy wins a MOTM in a domestic t20 bashes the pcb for not selecting him.

He ends up getting selected for Pakistan team and PSL and was another dud.

Never said a word after that

 

[W63L35]

Awais Zia is not saying anything new. I kept bringing it up when Misbah was destroying the ODI team with his captaincy, mind set and above all tuk tuk batting. For the new comers to this forum, this is the analysis I did 11 years ago....

Thread 'Misbah-ul-Haq's duration of stay at the wicket in ODIs and its impact on the match result'

Aug 18, 2014

This thread is dedicated to;
1) Fans who believe.... Misbah is the back bone of the Pakistani batting in ODIs.
2) Fans who believe that..... when Misbah scores runs, Pakistan wins in ODIs.
3) Fans who believe that.... when if Misbah did not stay at the wicket, Pakistan would be in big trouble in ODIs.
4) Fans who believe that..... if Misbah fails, Pakistan's ODI batting is too brittle to take the team home.
......and last but not the least.
5) My friend Savak's determination to speak the truth and keep speaking it.

The most amazing stat of the thread from 11 years ago:

Most mind-blowing stats are that Team's Win/Loss Ratio is 7.50 when Misbah as captain does not bat more than 24 ball.... but drops down to a losing Win/Loss Ratio of 0.89 if he happens to stay more than 24 balls. AMAZING!!!!!!

 

[Mohraheem]

Misbah Ruined Pakistani ODI / T20 Cricket!

11 years ago and Misbah is still enacting the same emotions from those that haven't been able to move on. He's won the mind game - 100% win ratio in that aspect

 

[Local.Dada]

Oh boy. I have seen this person bat in a T20 vs England. I think against Stuart Broad/Finn. It was a legendary knock and talk of cricketing circles for the wrong reasons lol. While he didn’t have a defensive mindset for sure, a little bit of it might have extended his career or made him look less of it

Anyway best of luck for his post retirement career

 

[FearlessRoar]

Awais never lived upto the hype in intl Cricket that was created in domestic.

He is a player similar to Shahid Afridi and as long as Afridi was in the team, he could make it into the playing XI.

na man, he was not even fit to tie afridis shoes. The guy was hit and miss.

SOmeone who comes close to Afridi is Asif Ali, but even he is not that good enough.

Afridi and asif ali are worlds apart. Afridi was a hot mess as a batsmen but that doesn't change the fact that he's played many match winning knocks.

100 of 37, 100 of 45, 70 of 30 and many such knocks are always match winning and memorable and regardless of how inconsistent he was, he still finished his career in odi with over 400 wickets.

In t20 his innings in 2009 final sealed the deal for Pakistan.

How is asif ali remotely close to afridi?

Is afridi an ATG like his fans claim him to be? No cause he's mostly marketing hype, but he is a cricketer with records most would dream to achieve.

Pakistan has not found a better bowling allrpunder post razzaq and afridi and that's a fact.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Awais Zia's name should be right there among the worst players to ever play for Pakistan.

 

[Rana]

Awais Zia's name should be right there among the worst players to ever play for Pakistan.

Why? Because he called out the truth about your supreme king Misbah?

Why is it a trend that Mianwali+SNGPL players are preferred under him and he only ends up working with SNGPL??

I used to be a big Afridi fan then took a harsh approach and then became a fan again. He put his fans through the ringer a lot.

I think now that his career is over and emotions have settled he is a Pakistani ATG in LOI cricket for sure.

Asif is nowhere close but his two innings are amongst the best played by a Pakistani in a pressure situation. Does it make him a great player - No? But at the end of the day what is important to a fan is the joys you feel in sport and there is no greater joy than winning from a losing position and Asif gave us that joy as fans in crunch games.

Because one gang of posters disgarees with other gang then poor Asif Ali name gets dragged in the mud and disgraced when he is just a humble good intentioned lad who tried his best and overcame the biggest personal adversity than can inflict a human being.

 

[Major]

Why? Because he called out the truth about your supreme king Misbah?

Why is it a trend that Mianwali+SNGPL players are preferred under him and he only ends up working with SNGPL??

SNGPL and Services Industry spend alot of money on sports to the extent they now have their own facilities and Assets. Lahore is fillied with Services grounds etc.

SNGPL was never a proper department. Misbah was a player for Services, and Hafeez was in SNGPL. SNGPL was trying to make itself into a proper team, so they decided to bring in players from Faisalabad region (which was Sargodah region beforoe). Thats when Misbah joined. Later when Misbah played internationla cricket and still showed up for first class, Misbah was one of the few cricketers that used to show up for First Class cricket.

Misbah was soo much involved that he was scouting players for SNGPL. Any player that defeated or outperformed Misbah's team, Misbah would draft that player into his team. Mohammad Abbas was a KRL player, made a mockery of SNGPL, Misbah got him a SNGPL contract. Iftikhar Ahmad was playing for Peshawar Region, knocked Faisalabad Wolves out (I saw that match at pindi ground ). Misbah gave him a SNGPL contract.

Its not that SNGPL players were preffered, to make SNGPL a strong team, Misbah recruited all those players. This in return made SNGPL a very strong team and one of the reasons why SNGPL cricket team never collapsed and even when PTI govt ended department cricket, SNGPL was on of the few departments that was giving salaries.

SNGPL than later got Misbah and Hafeez as coaches aswell

Departments like UBL and HBL collapsed, because they didnt keep their players involved or their stars never really cared for the dept. Alot of these players were desperate for SNGPL contract.

The only other dept that survived was I think WAPDA. WAPDA took all the good players of National Bank, while UBL took the players of HBL

As for Awais Zia, he is from Sui Southern Gas Line, a different company. These players didnt really do much to make SSGL a proper team.

Now the connection of SNGPL with Mianwali is through Service Industry. Service Industry used to hire players from Sargodah, Bhakkar and Mianwali. All these cities are close to each other. After Service industry defucnt most of their players went to SNGPL. Now im not aware if SNGPL runs a club circuit in Mianwali, but Service industry had their own clubs.

This is just like how KRL takes most of its players from Rawalpindi as its located in Rawalpindi, and Jahaz ground was next to KRL stadium and alot of players use to play club over there

As of today, WAPDA, SNGPL, and KRL are the only teams that survived.

 

[mominsaigol]

interesting topic of discussion. This needs a thread of its.

Afridi v Asif Ali

I can make one, but theirs no point since it's a spite thread.

Afridi vs Razzaq is a better topic. Asif ali is a nobody in cricket.

Asif

21 odi games, 25avg, 121 sr, 3 50's and 0 centuries batting at no 6/7, in crickets easiest odi batting era where minus opening, every other position is easier to bat today.

In t20 58 games, 15 avg, 133 sr, 0 50's and 0 100's, doesn't even have 1k runs in any format

Afridi

27 tests, 36Avg, 88 SR, 5 test centuries. 48 wickets at an avg of 35, and 3 eco + 1 5 ver

398 Odi's, 23 avg, 117 SR, 6 odi centuries, 8K+ runs 395 wickets, 34 avg, 4 eco, 9 5 vers in odi

99 t20, 17 avg, 150 SR, 4 50's, 98 t20 wickets, 24 avg, 6 eco, 3 4 wicket hauls.

^^ Afridi's stats arent revoluationary but asif ali isnt even in the same straspohere. Not to mention afridi actually captained his team to a semi final and his 2009 icc victory will always be ever present.

Afridi for all his worth provided worthwhile services to pakistan with the bat + ball and he was a terrific fielders something asif ain't.

his biggest crime is why he wasnt more consistent for pakistan and why he didn't provide pakistan more services + why he was selfish when it came to captaining his test side and put himself > the country.

Asif's biggest crime is pondering how he even got selected in the first place as its completly non sensical and a brain dead decison. He only has 2 good innings in his life, NZ and afg in a world cup, both those innings are good, am not taking anything away from him but they aren't even worth 1% of afridi's career when you consider asia cup 2014, 2009 t20 wc, 100 of 45 brutal bashing of India in bi laterals, 7/12 vs WI which included gayle and Pollard etc etc.

In hindsight when you judge Afridi’s career and the impact he had on and off the pitch, he’s a personified all time great and pioneer of modern cricket, didn’t have a terrible Test record either and gave his neighbours serious nightmares for a long time. I just wish we appreciated him more during those days, you can say that about a lot of things now. But he embodied what it felt to be a Pakistan cricket fan, you don’t get that same vibe from the current lot, the feelings now are completely numb.

Yeah it’s mainly the re!ard cru who drag his name like they are being clever about something when he’s has done better under pressure then the more seasoned group, it’s just a shame Pak did not get the most out of him because in the modern cricket world, he’s a player you should always look to develop further and keep in the conversation, same with Mohammad Harris.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Why? Because he called out the truth about your supreme king Misbah?

Why is it a trend that Mianwali+SNGPL players are preferred under him and he only ends up working with SNGPL??

No, because he was atrocious batsman who tried (and repeatedly) failed to target the legside boundary in his shortlived international career. The fact that he is calling Misbah defensive with a grand SR of 87 is as laughable as it is ironic.

Faisal Iqbal is he that Miandad nephew , the one who averaged in 20s , despite having solid players like Inzimam Yusuf YK with him. he should be the last one talking about merit and equality.

He even begged Colin Ingram to credit him after scoring a 100 in psl.
The guy averaged 26 in tests in 22 in ODIs. He makes the likes of Shezzy and Umar Akmal look like legends.
Asim Kamal was ten times the batter Faisal was yet the guy was ignored for some reason throughout Wasim Bari's tenure as the chief selector and beyond.

Even Malik and Razzaq were averaging more with the bat than him back then and they were allrounders. Pak dropped Asim Kamal for some reason in 2005 to give this guy a place in the squad.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Awais Zia failed because of lack of ability. He is right regarding the mindset of Misbah though.
