Iftikhar Ahmed may just surprise us all...

[Square Drive]

Indeed I was, missed his half century by just 46 runs.

He's a 2nd innings specialist. Was boutta go big 2nd time around, but accidentally took Cook's catch and now won't get to bat again.

Ghalti se mistake ho gayi [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION]

One thing is for certain, Hafeez would have definitely dropped that catch. So for its worth atleast Ifti chacha is an upgrade on Professor.

Scored more than him, bowled more than him and caught more than him.

Well done chachay

Haters gonna hate

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

What a power hitter, when on song, he is a must for limited overs cricket.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

M Nawaz is a much better prospect and should be ahead of him when it comes to grooming youngsters to play for Pakistan.

Iftikhar is just 25.

309 runs and 7 wickets for Iftikhar Ahmed in the Regional One-Day Cup - 131* and 3 wickets in the final.

 

[Seamer]

I think he deserves a chance in the t20 team in wi if he does well there we should maybe try him in odis. He can be a lower order hitter at 7. T20 lineup for wi:

1. Sharjeel Khan
2. Khalid Latif
3. Babar Azam
4. Haris Sohail
5. Sarfaraz
6. Umar Akmal/Shahzaib Hasan
7. Iftikhar Ahmed/Shadab Khan
8. Amad Butt/Aamer Yamin

Comeback season for the legend.

 

[Officer Barbrady]

Very deserving of a proper chance!

 

[The Viper]

He scored well in domestic and looked one of the better Pak batsman in PSL, so merits a recall.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Why is there hate on his selection? We need someone to replace Hafeez for us. Someone who can hit big in middle order and Ifti is the right choice, he's performing in domestic recently and PSL too.

 

[aloo paratha]

No problems with his selection. He has a solid record and has never been given a long rope, he's only played 4 international games.

 

[MenInG]

He's in the side today for the 2nd ODI against SL in Karachi

 

[Salman4.]

He should be given a long rope tho.

 

[saeed5646]

Lets see how youngsta beauty performs. Won't be surprised if he failed again

Lets see how youngsta beauty performs. Won't be surprised if he failed again

or outscores others!

 

[Shazzam]

He’s likely gonna fail.

 

[DRsohail]

Hope we dont have to carry another TTF for too long.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Players with domestic stats like him deserve a go since people will start complaining about how incompetent the PCB is but to be honest with you I am not convinced that he will become an important player for us. I'd rather have Khushdil Shah at 6.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

dont see a reason why he is being rejected left right and centre .... he has done nothing wrong so far.. hasnt got chances, needs proper run... has done enough to get a few games atleast

 

[Saj]

Can't argue with his effort with the bat today.

Clean striking and some good placement.

 

[moghul]

I thinks he fits well in ODI. Although very young but still better and more reliable batsman than Asif and Umar Akmal . And, a handy bowler too. Good for 4-5 overs if not more.

What we hope for when it comes to Ifthikar Ahmed and who we'd like him to be:
