Good he is upping his hunger for runs I am happy he is out shining Asad and once the series vs south Africa starts he will be hopefully from runner for the spare batting spot.

If he gets rid of the soft dismissals in the 1st innings, he would make a good 5 in the Odi and test teams. Lets hope he has the desire and toughness to kick on.

Abdullah Shafique, Saud Shakeel and Babar Azam. You'll have THREE genuine world class batsmen in your team.
Add Haider Ali and Omair Bin Yousuf. Thingss are looking good.
Clueless as anything. You would Pick Nawaz add to that Shadab too Outside asia lol . And Haider , Abdullah Shafiq are Starters ( Not even Proving anything in fc ) in tests But one of the most technically Solid and only Established M.O batsman ( Haris Sohail ) is Sitting out in junaids' Team hahaha

If you need to see score cards to identify batsmen, then probably a computer operator with excel knowledge can do the selectors job ....
However, as I said - Saud’s issue wasn’t for being Karachi based (in that case he won’t have been picked for every other teams apart from PAK National team), not that he was not in focus (in that case he won’t be leading every PAK junior teams for best part of a decade now)... rather his path crossing with CS’s nephew. You can’t pick three/four rookies every year and when his time was high, it went to nephew - next time, next batch came forward, hence Haider got his chances earlier than Saud. Imagine this guy playing 10 games as opener against SRL reserves & ZIM reserves to start his career ......!!! Reverse their age, now Haider would have been smashing domestic bowlers and Saud starting against NZL.
It was a major loss for PAK cricket that in his three years, Mickey Arthur was categorically denied a look at Saud Shakeel, a crime that will cost PAK cricket something.

From PCB Report:
Omair Bin Yousuf and Saud Shakeel converted their overnight half-centuries into remarkable hundreds against Balochistan as Sindh made 407 all-out at the State Bank Stadium.
Omair, who entered this contest after scoring 153 against Southern Punjab, made 109 off 240 in an innings studded with 11 fours and three sixes. This was 21-yaer-old’s fifth century at this level.
Jalat Khan, who recorded his fifth five-wicket haul with five for 85, dismissed Omair. The 34-year-old Sibi-born’s other four scalps were Asad Shafiq (two), Tabish Khan (six), Mir Hamza (19) and Shahnawaz Dhani (seven).
Omair stretched his overnight partnership with Saud Shakeel, who scored his second century of the season, to 207.
Saud, the left-handed batsman, smoked 15 fours and a six as he gathered 142 runs. The 25-year-old was dismissed on his 233rd ball by pacer Taj Wali, who finished with two for 86.

Good team
I would go with the following
Omair bin Yousuf
Abdullah shafique
Haider
Babar
Saud
Rizwan
Shadab
Gohar
Shaheen
Naseem
Abbas/akif/hassan ali
In asain conditions I'd 5 man attack with 2 spinners and 3 fast bowlers
In sena
Imran butt
Omair bin Yousuf
Abdullah shaifque
Babar
Saud
Haider
Rizwan
Gohar
Shaheen
Naseem
Hassan ali/akif javed/ammad butt
In sena I have added an extra Bateman in imran butt but I have gone with 4 man attack which I proberly would have gone with 5 man attack but I dont want to drop haider or saud so I have gone gohar who can bowl long spells instead of shadab
I would go with a safer option and play abdullah and omair in top 3 in both formats and play saud and haider down the order
I'd play omair bin yousuf in both home and away oppening.
Also imran butt in sena oppening .abdullah I'd play him at 3 in home and away.with haider and saud coming down the order
That's were I would play him in tests at 5
Haris is fitness is atrocious and shown no improvements.
You can add imran butt in thier to
Hows his batting against the short ball
To be fair, I think a lot of that is due to young pacers are generally at their peak pace very early on in their careers and they go through a lot of injuries. That arm has limited bullets and its probably not best spent toiling away in minors unless they are wildly inaccurate.
But yes, Saud has spent more than enough time in domestics, he looks great and has a good track record to back it up. He needs to be given a real go in Tests.

If Fawad or Azhar fail in NZ, I wont be surprised if he is in the squad against the home series against SA. Would definitely be surprised if he still isnt selected.
Why he couldn’t make it to Pak national team till now under Mickey, Inzi and now Misbah is definitely surprising. Nevertheless with this year’s QAE trophy he has created the much needed waves in the ocean to come into limelight.
He is 22-23 and had a stellar season in 2019. Don't need your agenda to pull him down. Some players peak after a few seasons. And Kookaburra is the ball everyone bar England plays with, so I don't see the issue

His listed age is 24, so probably 26 or so.
Meanwhile Saud is listed as 25 so probably 27 or so.

How does someone like Imran Butt get a go ahead of Saud Shakeel who's been performing and has actually worked on his fitness as I remember seeing him when was a little chubby and now he looks leaner which is better.

By far the top run scorer so far this QEA Trophy:
yea I have no way of knowing that but what people here estimate. So I will go with the official ages unless its a very obvious case like Iftikhar
Different batting positions. Who did get selected ahead of Saud were Hussain Talat and Fawad Alam

Imran Butt was the leading run scorer in last year's QeA trophy. I would have liked Saud Shakeel to be in New Zealand in his place as he's performed more consistently over the years and I think he's a better player but Imran's selection was on merit.

1000 runs hopefully for Saud
He's on the cusp! A positive outlook from now until the squad is announced for the SA series will get him over the line I feel . . If I were him, I'd pretty much know that Pak batting will struggle in NZ and he might get a chance to get to debut on Pak pitches . .
The worst thing he could do now is to take his eye of the ball and get low scores in the next few games . .

From Day 4, Round 5 of QeA20
Saud Shakeel, the left-handed batsman who batted one-drop, followed a remarkable first innings 142 with a top-score of 48 before he was dismissed by Kashif Bhatti.
Saud hit four fours and two sixes. He had walked in to bat with the scorecard reading none for one after pacer Taj Wali accounted for Sindh opener Sharjeel Khan.
Saud stitched a 67-run stand for the second wicket with Omair Bin Yousuf which while denying Balochistan bowlers any further opportunities to make inroads ensured that the contest ends in a draw.

He constantly performs. He gets runs and is tailor made for Test cricket. Unfortunately Azhar Ali and Fawad Alam are in front of him.
Imran butt is a genuine top order Bateman saud is a lower order Bateman.

He might be bashing 3rd rate attacks while all the good bowlers are in NZ, but he's looking mighty fine while doing so.
He'll be in the squad for SA.

If I'm not wrong Butt has mostly either opened or played at 3 where as Saud has been at 4 so isn't a big deal.
Yes he has opened and saud has batted at 4 mostly.so in that case babar should open in tests as it isnt a big deal.

Something I don't understand either. He seems to fail most of the time in the first innings, but then score well in the second innings. Here is a breakdown of his 50+ scores in both innings so far:
First innings 50+ scores
142 (233) (Round 5)
81 (139) (Round 8)
Second innings 50+ scores:
61 (70) (Round 1)
174 (296) (Round 3)
70 (125) (Round 4)
50 (71) (Round 7)
123* (157) (Round 9)
5 out of 7 are in the second innings.

Sindh’s Saud Shakeel’s third century of the ongoing season set a 370-run target for Southern Punjab at the State Bank Stadium. The 25-year-old left-handed batsman smashed a 123 not out.
Over the course of his 157-ball innings, Saud crunched 16 fours.

Most of these second innings scores are pretty positive innings with high strike rates. Maybe his natural game is a little quicker and the second innings allows him to play that more than the first, where there’s always less intent since you’re unsure of how the match will play out and your wicket is much more important.
That’s one possibility (that he gets out blocking too much). Maybe it’s a statistical anomaly. Maybe he thrives on tired out pacers.

A lower average than i'd have expected given he's made quite a few scores there. Clearly he's still got plenty to work on. Deserves to be in SA though unless Imran Butt does a madness in NZ.

I think he’s played something like 15 innings so far, so in addition to the 7 you’re seeing there’s another 8 where he failed (and Sindh suffered for it).
Even the good scores largely came in the second innings, by which time Sindh had already been put in a winning or losing situation. Sindh now sits at the bottom of the table.
He’s had a very very good season statistically, but these feel a lot like soft runs. I hope he can deliver a match winning performance next round, preferably in the first innings.

A slightly better version of Asad Shafiq with more strokemaking ability. Like him, he is an organized player but one who has technical deficiencies.
Also, he doesn't strike to me as someone who would fight tooth and nail for you.
I wouldn't want him to debut right now. Let him compete with Abdullah Shafiq, Agha Salman and Haider Ali in the Quaid e Azam trophy for another year.
Till then , we should still use the buddhay babay we have in Haris and Fawad.
interesting that you mentioned him competing with abdullah and haider ali and someone whos a lower order batter in agha salman

Expect Saud to debut against South Africa. You read it here first.
There’s a scientific explanation I can go into at the cost of being a successful fortune teller — after a disastrous New Zealand tour, Saud is guaranteed to be picked by Mohammad Wasim.
Misbah will have his hands tied — if he doesn’t put Saud in the playing XI, he’ll be lambasted to the moon and beyond. We’ve seen historically that Misbah knows when he’s going to get crucified - after the fan and media hype generated by Saud getting picked, he’ll essentially have a gun to his head.

It’s not just that. Misbah is unlikely to hand Imran Butt a debut. He’s kind of getting into the habit of taking batsmen for a ride and not playing them until and unless he’s got a gun to his head.
Personally feel like a 6-4 combo works well for this Test and Imran should get his cap regardless of the Shaheen’s performance as there is no one else.

Rewarded for his consistency
“Kamran Ghulam (1,249 runs), Saud Shakeel (970 runs) and Salman Ali Agha (941 runs) walk into the middle-order to support Azhar Ali, Babar Azam and Fawad Alam. This is a formidable and highly skilled middle-order, which will encourage a further healthy competition for a permanent place in the side.

Was about time.
However, what we should realize is that realistically speaking, only one of Salman Agha, Saud Shakeel, and Kamran Ghulam will be given a consistent chance until the likes of Fawad Alam and Azhar Ali retire. Who we pick will have to be very prolific.
Hope he does well, has deserved the international call-up.
