What's new

If Pakistan stars could be selected for the IPL, who would fetch the highest bid?

If you see a pattern, foreign players are picked under these categories- power hitting batters, fast bowlers, mystery spinners. In present Pakistan setup, i think Naseem and Saim Ayub will get selected.

Add Amir and Naseem Shah, remove Rizwan

Rizwan would go unsold or at the very best at base prize. There is nothing special about him as a wicketkeeper batsman in this format with so many Indian options available
 
Babar, Amir, and Shaheen will be sold for some of the highest prices for sure. ALso, add Saim to the list.

Shaheen,
Shadab
Babar
Malik

In that order.

I still stand by this list but Malik is too old now.

Shaheen and Shadab are box office T20 cricketers and a marketers dream.

Babar isn't the same level of dynamism as IPL players but India may be tempted to see how he fares.

Iftikhar may also have a shot ( no joke).

Amir is tainted by fixing so I don't think they will ever entertain him.

I think Imad is a good choice at chennai. He can supplement jadeja or ideal for santner replacement.

Amir will be taken by Kohli for sure. Both have a good rapport.

What about Babar, will Kohli take him? They have mutual appreciation for each other as modern greats

Is Kohli going to be a captain again? Is he even playing the IPL this year?

Yeah perhaps on Imad based on current form.

On Amir I'm not sure how the Indian public would respond.

I don't think .I was expecting this from u 😀.am sure we both don't agree modern great for whom we know.

I prepared openers list

Rajastan Jaiswal, Butler
Delhi Warner,Shaw
Hyd Head,Mayank
Bang Faf,Kohli
Chennai Conway,Rachin/Gaikwad
Punjab Dhawan,Bairstow
Kolkata gurbaz,Venkatesh iyer(All rounder)
Lucknow qdk,Padikkal

Mumbai and Gujarat will be restricted to pak players.

At Max he may get in kolkata.Lucknow is a damn slow pitch and Langer will kick any one there .

Babar is not better than root & Smith and both were unsold in IPL.

I think Babar is way ahead if we compare him with both these two in T20 cricket. Their Test numbers might be better than Babar's but not in the shorter format.
 
Mystery spinners are high in demand. Second one is all rounders. Massive six hitters especially finishers. Death bowlers are another category. If any players fall in this category and can do a decent job they have a shot.
 
It's tough to be bothered about Pakistani men cricketers not playing in the IPL. Sure, India misses watching some talent and instead of those 4-5 players being insanely rich, they're just very rich.

It's a pity Pakistani women cricketers are excluded though. They make so little and WPL gives life-changing money. The prize money in this edition of the WPL was more than the PSL men's tournament.

No wpl team going to buy Pakistan women cricketer even they available at auction lots of england women players went to unsold some Australian players to. Pakistan women players not good enough
 
Bowler have high demand in ipl so shaheen naseem rauf will go for big money
 
all rounder like shadab also go for big money Not sure about babar maybe csk buy him they love accumulator batsman
 
Babar would get the highest bid due to popularity, not that he deserved it

You're probably right though even a player or two being selected for novelty effect could have a galvanising effect on the sport in Pakistan.

Pakistan women are bad. They have no chance of playing the WPL. They are so many better players around.

Players like Imad, a spinner who can bowl a bit and bat a bit can be found in every nook and corner of India.

There must be around 200 active players in India with the same skill set, so I don’t see any reason why IPL franchises would waste an overseas players quota on a 35 year old average cricketer like Imad.
 
Shaheen undoubtedly

I wont be surprised if Babar and Rizwan go unsold

Also, depends on mini auction vs the normal one

IPL teams generally focus on young players who can be nurtured too. So, players like Naseem, Saim would definitely be picked to keep them in the plans for long-term

The sad part here is not that cricketers are missing out huge money. As, these superstars still earn a lot, no need to feel bad for them.

Most of the losing ones are the cricketers with budding talent. IPL teams, I feel offer a better platform to nurture the talent than PSL. Saim could have become a Rishab Pant with a better guidance but I feel they are ruining them with lackluster long-term focus.

Same case with Shah brothers. Give them to MI/Rajasthan franchise and look after 5 years.

Even with mediocrity, Pandya grew a lot utilizing the best of his abilities while talented young generation like Pant/Jaiswal were nurtured to superstars now

But Indian franchise may prefer a half decent pakistani for obvious monetary reasons.Apart from that chennai is the only place where his darts will turn and may cause damage.(Just like jadeja)

True. Amir is slightly more popular as he has been playing for long. But his stigma of match fixing may hold some franchisees from buying him. Definitely he could do the role of Fiz who got picked up by CSK.

There was a young woman cricketer who recently left Cricket. Can't recall her name. But she was pretty good hitter in women's cricket for Pakistan.

She might have had a chance of getting selected.

No way Amir is more popular than Babar. Indians talk about Babar a lot hardly talk about Babar on Social Media.

Nah people are right, Aamir is more popular becouse he was performed well against india in champion trophy .
Indian are always rate High whoever perform better against us .
 
Naseem by an absolute mile because of his brand. Decent bowler and film star looks and you have a brand worth at least a million

Even IPL picks are based on how they do well against India. Jansen, Jamieson, Head many guys were picked based on that
 
Babar and Rizwan would likely go unsold. What exactly do they bring to the table as openers like QDK, Faf, Rohit, Warner, Head, etc.? Every team has a lot of opening options, with plenty of young openers available in the IPL such as Gill, Ruturaj, Ishan Kishan, Jaiswal, Venkatesh Iyer, Padikkal, Prithvi Shaw, etc.

Saim, with his spin bowling and flamboyant opening, has more chances than Babar and Rizwan.
Pacers like Amir and Shaheen would be picked, and sling action bowler Zaman Khan has more chances.
All-rounders like Shadab and Imad are in high demand.
 
What about faheem Ashraf ? Pace Allrounders are always get big money in IPL
 
Naseem Shah and Shaheen will get handsome money( 10cr+INR ) thats for sure. Life changing money for both of player . Pakistan player's are regretting to not have played in IPL thanks to Pakistan government Policy and PCB.

Mumbai attack which were done by Pakistani terrorist as accepted by your ex PM Nawaz.
Then in 2015 Modi gone to Pakistan but what he got URI and Pathankot attack.

exactly. it is not the point to discuss but what you pointed out has no proofs. ANyways we will talk about it in some other relevant thread but for this thread, I would say that India is just interested in accommodating Pakistan.
 
Hopefully both countries solved their problems and start playing with each other . Really feel for Pakistan players as they can get big money .
Which they were denied so far. My bet on Naseem shah to get big contract either by RCB or GT

They already make a lot of money, they are some of the richest people in thier country. No need to feel sorry for crorepatis
 
Forget about highest bids. Only Naseem and Shaheen will make it to the IPL. The Hundred draft should give you an idea. IPL does not need Pakistani spinners.

Naseem and Shaheen will definitely get picked though.
 
Naseem Shah will get the premium money.

Economical. Accurate. Swing with new ball. Movement off the seam. Fast enough. Handy with bat. These are all in demand skills in IPL.

Plus he has No-Drama personality. So can work with any management's plans.

Shaheen too will get selected.

There are millions of people I would feel sorry for before feeling sorry for millionaires themselves.
 
Only way they can play is with different country visa. Imran Tahir, Azhar Mahmood,.sikanda Raza are examples.

Agreed 3-4 players (and that's all it would be) making hundreds of thousands instead of millions would be last thing to worry about.

The one reason I would support this is that it's one of the easy symbols of thawing of relationships. Actual improvement is very far away but letting a few visible artists, filmstars & cricketers travel back and forth is at least a visible improvement. Don't know if we're ready for it but Nawaz Sharif does seem to have magic with Indian Prime Ministers even of the BJP.

If you think Pakistani players are not earning good money through other leagues, then you are mistaken. Many Pakistani cricketers are playing in multiple tournaments such as the Big Bash, IPL, BPL, SPL, T100, etc., along with the PSL.
 
In the past Afridi would have been a bluechip pick at the IPL.

They can play all the league but still total money is less than what they can get get from IPL alone. Naseem and Shaheen will get 12-15 cr+ easily

I think Iftikhar would get a huge price tag in such scenario.

Iftikhar has been massively underrated in Pakistan while "young hopefuls" like Haider Ali have been given far more exposure despite having less batting talent. But he's not going to sell in IPL.

Personally I still think Rizwan is a superstar performer in T20's would be a great asset to most teams. Babar is class, Shaheen and Naseem Shah are the other two I think would be popular.

But IPL specifically doesn't allow fixers. Sreesanth along with other 2 players from RR were banned indefinitely due to fixing allegations.

Absolutely spot on. Babar has good fanbase in India, just because of his humble nature, talent he possesses and hardwork he has done to reach such elite level. My office mates literally wanted Babar to win this PSL and I am not talking about only indian Muslims here.
 
It would have to be Ayub for me,
He scores impactful runs
Takes wickets at a tidy economy
Is a beast in the field
He is a one man army

Wrong babar doesn't have any fan base in india instead people's are call him zimbabar.
Aamir is more popular than Babar in india becouse of CT heroics.

Depends which region you are talking about. In south, particularly Bangalore he is pretty famous, no one remembers Amir

Wrong, babar is mostly mocked, amir is respected.

People always put him down and compare him unfavourably to kohli, he is not feared

Even if we assume u r rt,he can't replace Faf/Green/Maxi for oversees spot in bng.In hyd he has to replace either Head/Klassen. Both options are almost impossible and chennai is not suited for his game.

Bro accept it that aamir is more popular in india than babar. babar performance against india is average so nobody remembered him but Aamir was Performed well and won The Champion Trophy for Pakistan .
