Have Pakistan made a mistake by dropping Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan despite them being in the top 10 T20I run scorers?

Asia Cup is held in UAE, where conditions will be spin-friendly, and we have seen how Pakistani players performed in Bangladesh on such a slow track.

The two are also the leading run-scorers for the country in this format.

5 hrs ago dewad: Who cares about Ba/Riz, we will smash them, idc about Pakistan.

5 hrs later: Makes a discussion thread.

@Ice Man @Rana

Dewad you are the embodiment of hypocrisy.
 
No, UAE tracks are nothing like pitches in Bangladwsh.

Babar and Rizwan have failed enough times now to drop them and look for alternatives.
 
Anyway ignoring op, Ba/Riz aren't t20 players even if they were in form. Its like asking if Australia made a mistake by discarding Steve Smith in t20 for youngsters like JFM, Green, Owen etc etc.

Green kicked off, Owen has not and JFM has been dropped but irrespective of whether they performed or not, it is still the correct decison.

Hindsight bias is an extremely strong notion that people tend to ignore.

Also @Devadwal to help you improve your communication skills, your homework for today is to learn the meaning of

1) Hindsight
2) Notion.

Cheers 🤡

What spin friendly? Only Sharjah is a hardcore spin venue

And how exactly are Babar and Rizwan Micheal Clarke+Sangakara level spin tacklers for these conditions????

Chawliya na maar Devdas!

What was the conditions during champion trophy? And Pakistan is going to Play all the match of World T20 2026 in Lanka where conditions more suitable for spinners. Didn't you seen how Pakistan one dimensional player's played on Those sluggish Bangladeshi pitches?

Their is no purpose, nor is their any hidden meaning.

If you wanted to imply something, Find a way to rewrite the OP and Title.

What happens in the future has zero relevance. For example you could die and fall off a cliff in the future, it would have zero relevance to you being alive at present.

Based of the current topic at hand, Ba/Riz aren't t20 players. Like I said, Steve Smith getting dropped in t20 for JFM was the right call.

When JFM failed, he got replaced by Owen and Green.

When one player fails, you find one who will succeed(one that is t20 material)

Its a simple concept and has zero relevance to whether india beat PK or not. India is a better team. No one disagreed.

Stop constantly reminding others since you are simply annoying people on this forumn with non sensical hinglish being spoken left and right.

There is no co- relations between Australia and Pakistan cricketing system.

Australia can replace anyone's because they have suitable replacement for T20 cricket and result is positive so far.

What has Pakistan player's done after dropping Babar / Rizwan ?

4-1 loss against NZ ( only top tier team they have played so far)
2-1 loss against Bangladesh ( LMAO 🤣)
Dropping a T20 against current WI .

Pakistan losing has no correlation with Babar and Rizwan.

With Ba/Riz they lost to WI in the odi series, Have lost test series upon test series until Sajid Khan and Noman + Aqib intervened.

Why are you assuming Ba/Riz who while included in the t20 team lost 4-1 to NZ in January of last year as well and lost to USA automatically elevate the team?

Your post is non sensical.

Wins against others =/= having the best team within your own confines.
 
No. RizBar suck vs spin anyways. Babar particularly has played so many Asia Cups as well and he has no notable performances to speak of unless you want to count his 151 off the mighty Nepal.

They've been so poor last couple of years and it's a big reason why Pakistan has been such a poor T20 side for the last couple of years. If they want a comeback, they need to earn it and actually change the way they play and play up to modern demands.

Maybe the players selected aren't good enough but they have earned a longer look and even if the results aren't there yet, at least the intent to play aggressively is there.
 
In the last T20 Asia Cup in UAE in 2022, Rizwan averaged 56 at a SR of 117 while Babar averaged 11 at a SR of 107.
 
Babar - No.

Rizwan - Yes

Remember it was Rizwan that was the star of the two wins against India in Dubai (2021 and 2022) with the bat.
 
No mistake by dropping Babar he deserves this exclusion

Rizwan can be selected as backup wk batsman if Haris not performing
 
Babar and Rizwan are no longer needed in the T20 format anymore.
 
The right decision. Babar is woefully out of touch. He seems to be low on confidence.

Babar and Rizwan do not belong in T20Is at the moment

Harris has not impressed me either. He needs to work on his shot selection. Someone should tell him that it is about controlled rather than brainless aerial hitting (Afridi-esque). You can score just as quickly by hitting the ball into gaps and hitting a boundary per over. If Harris fails in the above two assignments, then he needs to be replaced by someone better
 
Correct decision to not include Babar and Rizwan both have been out of form.
 
Rage bait.

Babar is the worst player to have on slow tracks because of how inept he is against the spinners.
 
If babar and rizwan doesnt get into t20 side then how does fakhar, khushdil, agha gets into the side is mind boggling.

Fakhar is worst batsman to play so many t20i with such a poor record just like abd despite having capabilities

Khushdil doesnt deserve to be near t20 side, nawaz is much better bowler and batter for t20s.

Massive howler.

These two have been the backbone of out batting and now we have no spine.

Some of our childish fans think that every batsman who comes out the crease should start slogging immediately.lol

You need players like Babar and Rizwan to control the innings.
 
Not a mistake by any stretch of imagination. Both batsmen are out of form, and at best, will only consume as many runs as balls. That's why their presence in the team does not impact the batting.

At their peak form, they were punching above their weight and scoring at 130 SR, but also 40+ avg which was keeping their place. Now that's gone and there's no indication to suggest they will regain any of it.
 
If we consider Pakistan’s record at these venues: A mistake

If we consider Babar and Rizwan's current form: Not a mistake
 
Fakhar Zaman As A T20i Opener (Since 2019)

Innings: 16
Runs: 185
Average: 11.56
Strike Rate: 111.44
Highest: 44
Sixes: 05

These are stats till July 24

:kp
 
Haris T20 stats as an opener

9 innings, 10 Avg , 94 runs , 109 strike rate

:kp
 
“Mistakes” are not intentional. This is not a mistake, it is just the “delusion” of PCB that they have a better chance of doing well without Babar and Rizwan than they do with them.

Their software will be updated soon. A brutal reality check awaits them.
 
Saim Ayub stats as an opener

29 innings, 22 Avg , 135 strike rate , highest -98

:kp
 
Loss against Ireland, Loss against USA.

A loss against UAE will complete the humiliation set. Good chances of it happening given the matches are in UAE.
 
No its not a mistake to drop the duo they cost pakistan many matches problem with these two is they are unwilling to move from opening slots this is where pakistan has lost matches they are to slow and not brave enough to attacking shots this puts pressure on other players I reckon if they had performed in the odi in West indies they would have been picked.

Most of us in this forumn typically encounter some spelling mistakes due to Samsung's crappy auto correct.

My phone has a habit of replacing in with on and vice versa, or spelling the words the and tue or friends and fiends etc etc.

His English is garbo in general. Why should I stop making fun of his English? Or any Indians English communication skills for that matter?

Have you seen their comments filled with racism, prejudice and constant attacks towards pakistani's. @sweep_shot had to put 100+ indians on the ignore list.

THREAD IS ABOUT BABAR AND RIZWAN.

If Pakistan loses, they can always claim it was their B team without Babar and Rizwan.

Tbf to babar his record in odi is better then all these batters and he does have 3 t20 centuries.

The issue is everyone including ex cricketers are still living in 2019-2021.
 
After seeing performance of Haris and Sahibzada Farhan , Both Babar and rizwan deserved a place in Pakistan team. :kp
 
I repeat myself for the umpteenth time.

Pakistan cricket is nothing without in form Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen in white ball cricket.

They have been at the heart of 90% of the white ball matches Pakistan have won in the last 5 years.

When they play well, Pakistan are a formidable side. When they don’t play well or are not in the team, Pakistan are weak.

The job of a coaching staff is to get the best out of these three players. You cannot hide from the reality.

These agendas will not work with these crap players and the sooner Hesson sees this, the better. Otherwise, he will die on this hill.

People are deluding themselves if they think Pakistan can oust Babar and Rizwan has build a formidable team with players like Haris, Farhan, Fakhar, Agha, Faheem etc instead.

Fakhar is a poor man’s Dhawan.

A very good ODI player but awful in T20Is.

Dhawan is an ODI great but he couldn’t deliver for India in T20 internationals and BCCI didn’t force the situation and moved on from him in the format.

Fakhar should either be dropped or bat in the middle-order. He cannot do well in this format as a top 3 batsman.
 
Babar is a class ODI player. Not a natural hitter suited for T20's.

Rizwan may not be a hitter like Babar, but he definitely looks better than Mohammad Harris. A better keeper and a better batsman.
 
Who’s a hack here waise?

Indian fans aren’t aware, but Sahibzada Farhan is a prolific scorer in our domestic cricket. Dude went on a dream this past year with four centuries in T20 cricket across different competitions, including the PSL.

Saim Ayub is a hack now according to Pakistan fans?

Fakhar Zaman is a hack?

Salman Agha is a hack?

Hassan Nawaz is a hack?

Only Haris has claim to this term as he doesn’t have proper skill to negotiate international level bowlers, but the top five are NOT hacks. They are proper batsmen, who are not world class and failed collectively today.

So this notion about Pakistan just putting up 7-8 legside tullas is completely false. It was true for the NZ series but not anymore.

Just because they play at a faster pace compared to Babar and Rizwan, they are now called tullas which is unfair.

The success of Pakistan cricket in white ball depends on the performance of Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen.

In the last 5 years, they have been at the heart of 90% of Pakistan’s victories in white ball cricket.

When they are in good form, Pakistan is a decent team. When they are in poor form or out of the team, Pakistan is an awful team.

This is the reality that we cannot escape from. We are kidding ourselves if we think that we are better off removing them and going towards others players.

When players better than them emerge and it will happen eventually as they get older and decline, they will announce themselves. However, that hasn’t happened yet.

At the moment, Pakistan’s main priority should be to get Babar and Rizwan back to their best. Shaheen is still doing reasonably well, but those two are in poor touch and have been for a while.

They are much better off focusing their energies on that rather than investing in inferior players hoping that they would produce positive outcomes.

All three played against USA, yet we still lost. Regardless of their form, if they are as world-class as we believe, they should be good enough to beat the 17th ranked T20 side in the world.

Not end up with 7 off 27 balls in the powerplay.

This current batting lineup is also trash, but atleast they don’t subject us to stat-padding in the name of playing themselves in.
 
Yes, me thinks so. It's not like Pakistan is ozzing in class as of late. They were the best and was doing a ok job (not the best job - but an ok job). Now days, these no names are not even doing anything better.
 
Honestly, most of these discussions about whether Pakistan can win or lose without Babar and Rizwan are just silly. We invested in them, and they have helped us win many games. In cricket, you invest in a player, and if they’ve proven they can perform at the highest level, you back them even when they’re out of form.

If you keep switching to a new set of players every few games, the team will never improve. If Babar and Rizwan weren’t the players worth investing in, then the mistake was made a long time ago and be honest, who else did we have back then who could play modern cricket at that level? These things start from the base level, from your domestic structure.

Expecting Babar and Rizwan to suddenly win everything for us is nonsense, they’ve already beaten India in a T20 World Cup, and the team made it to the finals not too long ago. To think we’ll become number 1 overnight with or without them is just unrealistic.

We need to accept that our team isn’t strong enough right now because of the system, corruption in PCB, and all that. No system can produce consistent winning results if it’s full of corruption. That’s just how the world works. Speaking from experience, in cricket, you can’t change my mind on this.

They both have been in really poor form in the last two years. In form Babar and Rizwan would eat USA bowlers for breakfast.

My point is simple. Is there any batsman currently playing for Pakistan who is better than in form Babar? The answer is no.

Is there any wicket keeper currently playing for Pakistan who is better than in form Rizwan? The answer again, is a resounding no.

Therefore, it makes no sense to discard those two. By all means discard them when you have better available players but we have not reached that point yet.

It seems like PCB and the fans just want to “punish” those two for their poor form rather than pick the best available players.

There is no world where Babar and Rizwan don’t make the best possible Pakistan XI across all formats.

How long are we supposed to ‘carry’ this poor form?

We lost to Ireland while these two were playing.

We lost to USA while these two were playing.

Not to mention numerous series losses where these two were content on playing for themselves and won us nothing. Our last T20 series win before this year’s home series against Bangladesh was back in 2021.

They were carried in the T20WC 2022, so it’s not as if they were setting the world alight in that tournament too. It was the bowlers and Iftikhar, Shadab, Haris and Shan who brought us back in that tournament. Asia Cup 2022 was the likes of Nawaz, Asif Ali, Naseem (with the bat) etc performing.

Technically yes, Babar is the best when in-form but even at his best he has become irrelevant in modern day T20 cricket. Pakistan has also given him a really long rope based on his body of work at international level. He is only getting worse and even more selfish by every game that goes by.

Surely you have to look at players who are performing at domestic level or in your premier T20 competition?

FYI all of our top five (bar maybe Salman Agha) had a better PSL than Babar did, so that only adds more fuel to the fire.
 
I think now we’ve changed we have to stick with it. Chop and changing is what has got us into this mess. Unsettled teams, switching captains, bringing back and dropping players.

We just need a settled team regardless win or lose. Play pretty much the same team and let’s see. There aren’t lots of players waiting on the sidelines now so let’s just persist.

If Babar gets back in form I’d take him at 3 as we have no one else suitable there. Opening no, we need to go with others now.

Unless Rizwan can somehow adapt to middle order I wouldn’t bring him back. And I don’t think he can nor is he in form.

But in general just sick of going back and forth. Stick to one set of players and strategy. However good or bad they are they will still perform better in a settled team than an unsettled one.

Anyone who doesn't play 50 (43) type innings is a hack according to some fans here.

In the previous game, Ramiz and Aamir Sohail were discussing how sixes are overrated in T20 cricket and that they prefer strokes along the ground :facepalm. Many here think like that as well.

The new agenda is that hesson's job is to bring Babar back to his best?

But logically how is that even possible? He can't hold the bat for them?

Australia tried with Labu but after avg 24 for 2 years in test and 16 in odi post 2023 wc, it became clear that Cameron Green had to replace Labu.

I don't get why Replacing Babar for Hasan Nawaz is being viewed as a bad thing?

Hasan Nawaz has the potential to be the Cameron Green of Pakistan.

Talent wise Nawaz is far superior to Babar. That 44 ball 100 wasn't a fluke. Dude has the technique and power to become an all format star, Test, odi and t20.
