Forget the ODI team, we don't have the dashers even in our T20I Team!

People oppose the inclusion of dashers in the ODI team by saying that they could not stay for long time at the crease.

But the worst thing is this that even the T20 National team is empty of the real dashers, who showed their talents in the domestics.

Pakistn T20 team should have been something like this:

(1) Fakhar Zaman
(2) Mukhtar Ahmed
(3) Sahibzada Farhan
(4) Sohaib Maqsood
(5) Wicket Keeper (Sarfraz/Umar Akmal/Kamran Akmal)
(6) Nasir Nawaz/Hammad Azam
(7) Faheem Ashraf/Sohail Akhtar/Amir Yameen
(8) Shadab
(9) Hassan Ali
(10) Aamir
(11) Junaid/Shenwari

This team is not only good for T20s, but also for ODIs as there is indeed stability in this team too.

Unfortunately, instead of this team, we will get the following T20 team:

(1) Ahmed Shehzad
(2) Fakhar
(3) Babar Azam
(4) Hafeez
(5) Malik
(6) Sarfraz
(7)
(8)
(9)
(10)
(11)

There is no dasher in this team (except for Fakhar and Fahim in the late order).

I am afraid that modern T20 cricket is more about the dashers than the accumulators like Malik and Hafiz and Babar Azam.

Haha.. Even 10th ranked Bangladesh has a better team than this
 
"T20s mein bhi aap ki aise Bande chahye Jo Ke wicket pe stay Kar sake"-- The typical line from our selectors and ex cricketers.
 
Fakhar, Faheem, Hafeez, Shahdab backed by Shezad when things go bad. Its fine for this tour. However we may need more in friendlier conditions.
 
Don't be surprised by this. Pakistan batting philosophy is crease occupation rather than scoring runs. Any decent hitters we do produce become brainless sloggers.
