Barring his first 3 seasons, that's a very consistent performance, especially given that he was playing in a team where a lot of the time he was carrying the batting.

Don't really rate him but should have gotten more games to prove himself.
They only gave him one game he should have got more chances like azhar and the rest have

Pathetic that he was given one game and then discarded. His domestic stats are very good and they merited a decent run in the team. Tbh, he should have been picked even before he got his debut in 2018. Usman has been very unlucky and is an example of the lack of meritocracy in Pakistan.

Absolutely. One game with his domestic record is a tragedy.
Agreed he could have been a decent batsman maybe limited in strokes but if he has good average I'd take that anyday
I agree with you it's looking like he ain't in the reckoning atm azwell

Azhar Ali on Usman Salahuddin's non-selection during the post match presser
"As a player we should keep the example of Fawad Alam to see how long he had to wait for a chance despite performing well; Same with Misbah-ul-Haq who would perform every season but could not find a place in the side; As a player you need to stay focussed and when you get a chance you need to capitalize on it"
"He is a good performer although did not do that well last season but there are opportunities available and my advice to him and other such players is to look at the examples of Misbah and Fawad and keep on scoring runs and keep on knocking on the door of selection"

Qea20, Round 3, Day 1:
Central Punjab finished the day at 204 for six thanks to a 79-run partnership between their captain Azhar Ali and Usman Salahuddin.
The pair came together much earlier than they had anticipated as both Central Punjab openers – Ahmed Shehzad (eight) and Abid Ali (six) – were dismissed early in the innings with the scorecard reading 34.
Azhar stroked his 63 runs – the most by any batsman in the innings so far – from 147 balls, 10 of which were dispatched towards the boundary, while Usman fell six runs short of what would have been his 44th half-century at this level.

Instead of Fawad at least Usman should have been tried in his place.
He played really in the chance he got during the England tests.
He was in beast mode in 2011-12 , got his chance in 1 ODI against Wi where he was run out and after that didn’t get a chance. I remember that is the series where Afridi wanted to try out new and young players which was not allowed by then Coach Waqar even in dead rubber and created some quarrel between them, which led afridi to resign captaincy and Misbah took it over

From PCB Report for Round 10 of QeA20:
A brilliant century from Usman Salahuddin helped defending champions Central Punjab post 309 for four on day one of their 10th round first-class Quaid-e-Azam Trophy fixture against Southern Punjab at the State Bank Stadium on Saturday.
The knock played a vital role in helping fourth-ranked Central Punjab secure three batting points with still 10 overs remaining.
Thirty-year-old Usman was unbeaten on 139 – his first century of the ongoing season and 24th overall – at the close of play and had the company of Pakistan U19 all-rounder Qasim Akram, who made 12 not out and had scored his maiden first-class half-century in his side’s last match.
Usman crunched 20 fours from the 268 balls he faced. He stitched a remarkable 143-run alliance for the second wicket with opener Ali Zaryab (78, 11 fours) after Muhammad Akhlaq was trapped in front of stumps by pacer Aamer Yamin.

He has done well in domestic cricket for a while. Surely he deserves a chance.
After top scorer Kamran Ghulam, Usman Salahuddin's faced the most number of balls in this season's QEA Trophy so he knows how to occupy the crease.
Was ludicrous that he was given one Test at Headingley of all places and not given a look thereafter.

Thing is if Usman wasnt good enough, he should never have been selected for Pak test team. However, if he was selected then one match is not enough to any one.
This has been a problem with Pak in last decade or so, inconsistency in selections and too much experimentation. If someone makes it to the national team than he should atleast be given a couple of series or even a season to prove himself.

And he didn't even do badly in that one game all things considered, outperformed a few "seniors" easily.

Usman Salahuddin 51* (147) at stumps on Day 4 of the QeA Trophy 2020/21 final vs KP.
He's playing a crucial hand for CP in their 4th innings chase of 356, with a further 216 runs to get tomorrow with 8 wickets in hand.
Can he go big tomorrow and get CP over the finish line? If he does, that would lay down a big marker for Mohammed Wasim and co
