Inzi's PR agent on pakpassion trying to defend Inzamam, rofl no surprises. Playing with words and trying to manipulate.
Coming with the best excuses and diversions.
Why Umar Akmal's performance in PSL, why not consider series performances from One Day Cup, National T20, Quaid e Azam trophy, etc. for last 3 years.
Has he gone through the fitness test which Inzamam made excuse for, when selecting other players rofl?
Hahahah yeah Imam averages alot playing inferior teams put that hear also and the no. of matches he has played. More than his family name he is an eyesore for Pakistani fan to watch he'll help more people leave watching cricket. There were 11 players averaging more than Imam, his average is around 33 in domestics and 27 in tests. He is definitely the best choice and those above him should retire and leave for another country where their talent will be recognized.
Please personally thank Inzi for batting prospects who would've shined for Pakistan from 2005 - 2007 and 2016 -2019, due to him were lost to corruption and nepotism. Players like Asim Kamal, Ashfaq Ahmed, Fawad Alam, and so many other domestic batsmen who would've transformed this team.
Inzamam has done so much for the batting talent for our country, crushing them so valiantly. Like the recent T20 we won't find a new batsman thinking to make his career in Pakistan, 38 year olds Imam will be playing 42 year old Umar Akmals. There won't be any competition left for them.
Please learn how to have an intelligent discussion without resorting to name-calling. It will make you sound like an adult.
With the World Cup coming up in a couple of months, we need players who are in form NOW, not players who were in form three years ago. That is why Umar Akmal's performances from three years ago do not matter, just like *insert domestic nobody*'s performances from two to three years ago do not matter either.
The fitness camp and the associated tests take place after the squad has been named. You cannot put the thousands of domestic players through the test and I'm sure you can think of at least a couple of reasons why.
Imam was very prolific against South Africa in South Africa. I would have to politely disagree with your assessment that South Africa are a weak team. Also, I assume that once Imam proves himself (again) in the upcoming series, against another team that cannot be considered weak, you will stop your whining against his inclusion in the national side?
You seem to have a hard time understanding that the PCT can only accomodate 11 players at a time. Alam, Kamal and every other player who failed at the highest level and was then dropped, only have themselves to blame. If you do not shine immediately, do not expect the selectors to give you many more chances in a country of 200 million, cricket-mad people.
Also, sometimes you are just not destined for things. During 2005-2007, three batting spots were more or less locked with Younis, Yousuf and Inzamam himself, making up the greatest Pakistani middle-order of all time. The #6 spot was usually used to unearth the next Imran, with the likes of Razzaq and Afridi being tried out there. However, a few batsmen did get a chance as well but none of them stuck, including Misbah ul Haq and Faisal Iqbal. The only open spots were #1 and #2, and Pakistan tried a bunch of openers during that time. In case you forgot, not only was Inzamam's time as captain free of any infighting, we were also considered one of the strongest teams in the world and ranked in the top three in both formats of the world.
I suggest you follow a different sport if you find things so dark and gloomy in Pakistan cricket right now. As long as Inzamam keeps unearthing good, young players with loads of potential and keeps delivering trophies, like the 2017 CT, he's not going anywhere out of his own free will. Likewise, as long as Imam keeps performing with the bat, he's going nowhere either. I'm sure you can find something else to entertain you for the next decade.
