Is Junaid Khan a viable option for Tests?

[Hasan123]

After his success in the CT it's been surprising that Junaid hasn't been called up in the other 2 formats.

With Amir not being at his best,also with Wahab struggling. Is Junaid a viable opition for tests in the future ?

Junaid should definitely be considered for tests in UAE, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and West Indies. He is brilliant on slow pitches. Possibly the best exponent of reverse swing we have at the moment. His workhorse mentality and stamina is definitely something Amir should learn a thing or two from him regarding patience and spells with little success to show for.

 

[MenInG]

For sure - he just needs some good supporting wickets also

 

[cricketAXEpert]

Yes, Absolutely.

All this sudden love for Junaid is a little shocking, Junaid will never be the bowler he used to be after he was in the run ground after playing match after match in UAE. Pretty sure he will have to be restricted to ODis and t20s, otherwise we will see recurrence of his injuries

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

He could do good , but he's coming back after injuries. So, you can't risk him getting injured, when WC19, is next door.

Post WC u can try.

I would suggest Abbas and Hassan as our new ball pair with Wahab as first change. Keep Rahat and IK jr as backup. No amir until he fixes his attitude as a fast bowler

 

[Hawkeye]

Junaid Khan should be kept away from the team.

Bowling is mediocre.

 

[another drop catch]

junaid should concentrate more on LOIs

 

[ExpressPacer]

Anything but Abbas.

Depends on his fitness and performance in FC matches.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Fitness needs to improve a lot for him to even be considered for a test recall.
