How likely are Haris Sohail and Imam-ul-Haq to play in England?

[MenInG]

Pictures like these make me think that apart from collecting airmiles, not much is expected of these players.

Hope I am wrong.

 

[UN talkz]

Haris will play all 3 games

Difficult for Imam to find a place in XI unless Sami fails miserably

 

[Khan12]

Haris will start all the games. Don't think I'm am will get a game. Plus haris was our best Batsmen in srl series.

 

[Fahdi]

Haris was the best batsman from the last series. On what grounds will he be dropped especially since that was his debut series?

 

[Ahson8]

What exactly in the picture makes you think that ? Bizzare

 

[hadi123]

Surely Haris Sohail should start. Can bowl spin and he was really good in the Sri Lanka series.

 

[Syed1]

I hope Imam plays all three tests and bags six ducks.


Garbage player who only made it to the squad because of being related to Inzi

 

[MeanAndGreen]

That guy on the left is arguably the most assured test batsman in the PAK team - I'm sure he's going to do more than "collect air-miles".

 

[Syed1]

Harry looks a lot fitter than when we saw him last

 

[Saj]

If Pakistan play 4 seamers then Haris would be a good option given he can bowl a few overs.

 

[babajee]

Haris is the second name on the team sheet after Azhar.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Haris is the second name on the team sheet after Azhar.

First name (captain aside). Take key wickets too.

Mera apna khayal hai k performance of Haris will decide whether we win or lose/draw the series.

Time to shine Harry!

I think it’s both Haris and Fakhar. If Fakhar gets going he can take the game away from England

 

[Railu Katta]

OP is a Fawad fan and thinks that Haris has taken fawads spot hence his posts and this thread.

Right, the matchstick is the first name on the teamsheet.

Nah brother - I am only fan of those who do well for Pakistan.

I just saw the pic and whilst everyone else was doing interesting things, these 2 seem to be in a world of their own.

 

[moghul]

Haris does not possess test match fitness, should have not been in test squad.

 

[Khan12]

Who would you replace him with?

 

[Slim]

Expecting Harris to play all matches. One of the most talented batsman we have with us with a proper technique.

Imam not so much and only if Sami fails who i expect to fail.

The only thing in which fawad is better then haris is his fitness other then that haris is on a different planet to fawad. I just don't know what this picture got to do with them playing or not. Haris is a sure starter.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

I think it’s both Haris and Fakhar. If Fakhar gets going he can take the game away from England

Dont think Fakhar should play in lower middle order, Usman/Saad should be preferred imo. Both have better technique than Fakhar. Or even I would prefer Shaddy as an allrounder if they are playing Faheem too.

Tecneec se kya hota hai

 

[ManFan]

Haris was the best performer in the last Test series against SL.

Imam had trouble against 120 kph SL trundles in the UAE.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Tecneec se kya hota hai

Asad ki bas naam ki technique hai

 

[Darkrai]

Haris will definitely play. Not so sure about Imam, if Azhar doesn't open then he has a good chance of playing.

 

[Square Drive]

Very bizarre assumption based off of just one picture.

Haris is a certainty.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Imam may actually play at least one game. I'm not sure if Sami has the backing from team management.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Haris will definitely play...Imam won't get a game unless both openers fail.

 

[ManFan]

Imam may actually play at least one game. I'm not sure if Sami has the backing from team management.

Sami has actually performed in ENG last time.

Made 2 50’s in his debut match.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Wasn't his debut,he was making a comeback.

First test in England though

Sami made his Test debut in the 3rd Test of that series in 2016.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sami made his Test debut in the 3rd Test of that series in 2016.

No bro,he played 2 matches against Bangladesh in 2015.

I want Sami as a long term investment but the management does not seem to like him much.

 

[ManFan]

You’re correct.

Thanks for correcting my mistake.

 

[coy0607]

Unless he's injured, Haris is a lock. He became a permanent fixture at the end of the last Test series

Imam - he probably will play most of the series. I expect him and Fakhar to start the series

 

[Canistani Hero]

Haris is a sure shot starter. Imam will get a good feel of touring from the bench.

Azhar
Fakhar
Babar
Haris
Shafiq
Sarfraz
Fahim
Shadab
Amir
Abbas
Rahat

 

[Hasan123]

Harris will play. I hope Imam plays but that isn't a certainty.

 

[msb314]

I hope Imam plays all three tests and bags six ducks.


Garbage player who only made it to the squad because of being related to Inzi

Bhai he deserves a fair chance at the test level. If he succeeds the. Great but if not - then plenty of other options to look forward to.

 

[Justcrazy]

sami Aslam
Azhar Ali
Harris Ali
Asad Shafiq
Usman
Fakhar / Babaar
Sarfaraz

4 bowlers

 

[rhony]

As per Sarfraz, they might not even play Shadab and go with part time spin. Haris is a certainty. Imam will have a nice shopping experience.

 

[Slim]

He is a limited player maybe thats why.

 

[Baigel]

C'mon Man. Support the guy.... Surely you cant't judge him off the couple of games he played (100 and 47). Give the guy an opportunity, maybe he can become a good opener for Pakistan!! Lots of people thought Fakhar was a trash batsman. Oh and lets not forget in Mickey's report he stated clearly Imam has improved marginably.

 

[asifp]

I dont think Azhar will open, so the batting order will go

Sami
Fakhar
Azhar
Babar
Harris
Asad
Sarfraz
Bowlers...

I really hope Azhar pushed himself to open, so Usman Salahuddin can get a game.

 

[Abdullah]

I will be horrified if haris doesn't start.that didn't actually cross my mind!

 

[Justcrazy]

Sami should be persisted with , he can develop into good OD opener as well. That would make Pakistan batting more solid. Fakhar can drop to number 3 in OD , since he plays spin better.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Haris should be one of 1st names on team sheet for the middle order batting slots. Imam shouldnt even be in sqaud but nepotism quota had to be filled with shan masood injured.
