"I am ready to open in domestic cricket and for Pakistan if required" : Usman Salahuddin

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Based on what , please explain ?

Didn't score a double century in the last game. Not good.

 

[Saj]

No double century though.

This was a must to get selected.

That rules out a lot of players who have been selected then for the England series.

 

[moghul]

Didn't score a double century in the last game. Not good.

I'm very impressed with your logic and cricketing knowledge .

 

[Zaz]

If you have a good eye you can discern who will make it in international cricket.

Maybe you should be selector then we would only have 50 avgin batsmen in the team from 1-6

 

[JibranAnsari]

in red hot form , should be in the test squad.

mohammad wasim after 5 fc matches and not notable performance is in the test squad shows how messed up is our selection process.

Tanvir Ahmed takes up Usman's case:

"What is the fault of Usman Salahuddin, why selectors don't pick him despite his consistent performance in domestic cricket,"

"Just look at his centuries, his average, his runs, there is no comparison of him in middle-order batting. Selectors, not only the current ones, should be questioned about ignoring such a performer,"

Tanvir said teams like India and Australia carry players aged 36. "They make his age an excuse. Just go and watch players aged 36 are playing in Australia and India teams,"

"Why his name is not even coming in the Shaheens squad? Where should he go? People say I discriminate between cities but I have always spoken about players like Usman who are not from Karachi,"

 

[Mainul]

Pakistani selectors are most inefficient, biased , nepotism based selectors I have ever seen.
