Is it time for Pakistan to prioritize pace bowling all-rounders over spin bowling all-rounders?

[RyanRyan10]

In recent times, Pakistan has provided substantial backing to spin bowling all-rounders such as Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Nawaz, and Iftikhar Ahmed. However, only Faheem Ashraf has received significant backing among the pace bowling all-rounders.

So, should Pakistan start focusing more on supporting their pace bowling all-rounders? The promising talents of Aamer Jamal and Jahandad Khan appear to be well rounded cricketers compared to the bits and pieces players that Pakistan has backed recently.

Yes, Pakistan has failed to produce a fast bowling all-rounder since Abdul Razzaq. I believe Hasan Ali has the potential, but it's unclear why the PCB didn't invest in his training or utilize him as a regular bowling all-rounder.

Rana era must start again with proper backing.

Pakistan need to find some young pacers with little bit of talent and refine them. Talent development is key but PCB lacks in it. Otherwise Pakistan mein talent bohat Hai.

Faheem Ashraf has played 99 international matches across formats and failed to make a mark. Pakistan need to back Aamer Jamal and Jahandad Khan.

His century in the QEA final was amazing. Sarfaraz used to promote him in the batting order. He had won a match in a series decider against South Africa once. But the management didn't back him as a batter. He would have become a very good white ball allrounder had they let him bat at 7/8.

They can't do this because in order to do that you actually need players like Jamal, Faheem, Yamin and Jahandad to bat up the order in domestic Cricket. Domestic teams staff doesn't do this kind of stuff.

The only semi decent one right now that is in the emerging category is Jahandad Khan, he's shown that he can bowl and bat but is still far off from being the end product that can be inducted into the national team.

Perhaps a good PSL could be the way he gets inducted into the T20 team.

He is better than Shaheen with the new ball currently.

Let's not put Shaheen into this as he is neither one at the moment.

It is a rare breed especially among Asians. This is one major advantage for Australia and NZ.

Jamal in tests ?

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Jamal in tests ?

only successfull in SENA conditions!

we need someone who can be utilized in Test cricket not in specific countries.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jamal in tests ?

was talking about spin all rounders. Is Jamal all rounder in true sense or one of those who guys who made some runs like Yasir Shah, AMit Mishra made?

 

[m.shah]

There isn't any good all rounder either fast or spin in Pakistan. For such a big country lack of talent is surprising. comfortably least talented country in the world.

It's not about prioritizing. If the talent isn't there you can't make it magically appear out of thin air. The quality of Pak seam-bowling all-rounders after Razzaq has been atrocious to say the least. Sohail Tanvir (!), Hammad Azam, Aamer Yameen, Faheem Ashraf. I can't even think of anyone from the mid-2000s. And Pakistan gave plenty of opportunities to Faheem Ashraf. He just wasn't good enough.

Aamer Jamal is the only one who seems to have some promise. But if Pakistan don't manage him well he is going to end up on the same path of countless injuries like numerous Pak fast-bowlers before him. A seam-bowling all-rounder is even more susceptible to injuries in this day and age considering the amount of cricket that is played.
