Only Haris Khan and Rohail look decent class others don't have much future.
I'm not sure about Haider Ali

Pakistan collapsing now. Abbas Afridi gone for 6 runs. 185/6
Rohail Nazir is still there and is on 92 (92)
Haider Ali hype dying quite quickly.
Well atleast the captain is leading from the front.
Sarfraz was never special and is no longer the player he was 3-4 years back. Back then he could rotate strike in middle overs and accelerate a bit too at the end.Let’s see what Sarfraz does in the Sri Lanka ODI series.
He has lost pretty much weight and I see hunger to succeed in his eyes again.
We should give him one last chance.

Now he is struggling with fitness and form both.
This was illustrated in england odi series before WC where in one of the games he just coudnt run or hit balls with any power and we lost that match with him standing not out.
This guy Rohail has shown hunger and consistency.
I hope he works harder now
He’s playing U-16’s. Why would there be a 14 year old playing U-19’s?Where’s that 14 year old kid from Swabi who got selected in the past couple of months ago?
Pakistan has failed to reach the semifinal for the 2nd consecutive year
Last year they were defeated by Bangladesh & Sri Lanka
They are the 5th best u19 side in Asia now
U19 cricket is all about about individual performances. Yes winning is good, but it's hard to win even if you only have 2-3 mediocre players in the team, especially bowlers. 10 overs combined from 2 bowlers went for 80.
We just need to keep an eye out for players with potential, such as Haider, Rohail, Naseem and Haris.
Haider disappointed big time
Haider disappointed big time
2 failures is disappointing to you? Thank god you're not the selector.
Yes, because an athlete can never have a bad game or two. They're a bust if that happens. Of course.
The guy perfomed against a minnow team (Sa) and people were hyping him to the moon.
In terms of THAT hype he's failed to deliver and hence is a disappointment so far
I didn't say anything wrong
I want him to regain his form it's beneficial for Pakistan
Minnow team
His previous performances show he has ability. That's no guarantee for success, a lot of players have looked good and made runs at Under-19 level and faded off the scene, vice versa also happens a lot.
They are minnows
They were thrashed 7-0 by a second tier team
Second tier team? Wasnt Pak in the semis of the last U19 WC, was runner up in 2014 and have won 2 WCs and has played knockouts stages regularly as well (barring few exceptions). While team you are calling minnow won the U 19 WC in 2014.
Its just Asia cup, WC is next year. Dont get too rilled up about Asia cup loss and let that make you overlook the facts.
As its not the first time I am witnessing teams being call minnows, second tiers or powerhouses on the basis of couple of matches or series.
How's 2014 related to now?
U19 teams change completely in 2-3 years
Pak u19 is second tier
First tier is Aus, eng and Ind you can't argue with this
Second tier doesn't mean minnow fyi.
Second tier includes the above average teams
Minnows are third tier and possibly even lower that
He’s playing U-16’s. Why would there be a 14 year old playing U-19’s?
How?
That was last year
They're better than BD and Sri Lanka as shown by their last series
Based on what? Your imagination? Bangladesh won the last match between the two teams and this Naseem Shah kid was destroyed by BD batters.
Bangladesh beat India a few months ago in a tri-series in England and also beat England 3 times (with 1 game being tied) in that series in English conditions.
Too bad Pakistan have been kicked out by India and the Afghans so Bangladesh won't get the chance to beat them again.
That’s bitter..pain of regularly losing to afghans reflects in this post.Based on what? Your imagination? Bangladesh won the last match between the two teams and this Naseem Shah kid was destroyed by BD batters.

Arjun azad to look out for! Another one from punjab. Haryana, punjab are becoming good breeding for young talent
Oh please!
We've seen the likes of Vijay Zol, Unmukt Chand, Shubman Gill, Prithvi Shaw and the other 'to be looked out fors' come and go. The U-19 is by no means a yardstick to judge any player.
These bumpkins seem content with having their share of the limelight, and picking up an IPL contract. Most don't seem to have the commitment and mindset to play for the country at the highest level. It's the one thing they should learn from Rahul Dravid but aren't.
Oh please!

If Rohail and Naseem can be the real deal then results won't matter. You normally need to 1-3 talented players in every U19 team that can represent national team.

are you dense? gill and Shaw average over 60 in first class lmao. They are literally screaming out loud to play for India. Indian politics is ruining these talents by letting them rot on bench and instead picking fodders like Rahul, vijay, etc
Selection is based on your association with top marketing brand. They sign a contract for an year or two. if you don't find your place in the squad it is all waste. So these brands influence the selection in a big way. Once GIll finds his top sponsor he won't be dropped even when scores a series of ducks.

An average of 60 based on 12-15 FC games doesn't cut it, no matter what the chest thumping, clueless fan club thinks.
Aren't I happy that the likes of you aren't selecting the team!
Shaw showed promise but has bottled it with the doping scandal. I really hoped the best for him. What a massive scre**up!
Gill failed in the two chances he got in New Zealand. Maybe he should have been given more chances, but I reckon the selectors thought he needs more FC experience before he can be exposed to an international quality bowling attack. And maybe they were right.
The less said about Chand and Zol the better.
I'm not a big fan of Indians selectors but selecting a player in the national team based on performances in the U19 and a couple of odd FC games is idiotic. I'm happy they aren't going down that route. They should be looking more at players like Shreyas Iyer, Hanuma Vihari and Manish Pandey who have been performing consistently over 50+ FC games.
The others can play pajama parties like IPL and be happy with that.
