Inzamam-ul-Haq's selection policies have been a breath of fresh air

[MenInG]

What is your vision for the future of Pakistan cricket?

Inzamam: I understand that there are people who are highly critical of our selection policies saying that the teams should have certain players and so on, but what they need to realise is that the selectors, captain and coach have a certain vision and want to select teams that will not just give us success in the next series but ones that will serve us in the long term.

One thing to note - and this is something I strongly believe in - is that some of the newer players were picked directly for their First-Class performances which will really encourage the players who are doing well at that level. What that will prove to aspiring First-Class players is that they too can be picked for the national team and also the fact, when given the chance, they are good enough to play international cricket and perform well at that level. All in all, I believe this sort of selection policy will greatly benefit Pakistan cricket.

He seems to have excelled in picking player from First-Class and then sticking with them to allow them a chance.

Do you agree with this assessment?

I like the fact that he's picking players based on first class form as well. Sure his selections haven't been perfect but majority of them have been tremendous. Mickey and Sarfaraz adding input is brilliant as well.

Should make a list of all the players he has inducted in his tenure. Probably quite a few good ones there with potential.

Typical dishonest and bias person in saint clothing. He is unfit for the job. He does not have any clue about domestic structure, players' strength according to format and select players base on favoritism, bias and demand from outside. A person lack of honesty.
