Is Shadab Khan best suited for T20I captaincy?

[Aqib_mustafa]

There are media reports shadab will be back as t20 captain i think shadab is good for t20 he is your 3 d player but just dont select him for odis keep hin in t20 with his fielding and batting he can be pak best choice better than rizwan in t20 for sure.

 

[shah9425]

Hell no

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Hell no

Why not he has always been a good t20 player its odis where he should not be selected and rightly so.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Rizwan’s captaincy very much like Pakistan’s T20 side has been poor. Shadab Khan right now, doesn’t deserve to comeback into the Pakistan side.

What has he done in the last T20s he played for Pak?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rizwan doesn't fit in the side. Babar has been tried and tested. Salman is yet to prove his worth as a T20 player. Shaheen I don't know what's PCB's plans for him.

That leaves Shadab as one of the more experienced T20 player who has had a good track record as captain in PSL.

 

[Kianig89]

Again lobbies at work, the lobbies in PCB have bigger impact than probably "Yahoodi Lobby".

Amir Sohail turning the page on Yazoo group.

knee jerk policy should be abolished which is being implemented on Saud ,Hasnain & Haseebullah.

Shahid Afridi, selectors lack the guts to make bold decision and drop big names.

Pakistan's answer to SKY & ABD , M Haris replaces Rizwan . @Rana

 

[Devadwal]

he was dropped from the team Because he was performing very bad .

Then how he is back as an captain without proving his form ?

Unbelievable from PCB

 

[Shaka81]

Just when you think things can't get any worse in Pakistan cricket, they pick Shadab again and to consider him for captaincy is unbelievable. He's a serial failure.

What are you on about?

What are you on about?

Now ik why samaa tv doesn't get any views.

 

[mominsaigol]

Either way the damage has been done. Pakistan t20 side isn't recovering for a good 5 to 10 years.

Their odi and test side is probably never going to recover cause babar and rizzu aren't going anywhere from these 2 formats and they'll promote future rubbish once they retire.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Samaa Tv is not reliable.
2 days before they reported that one samaa tv journalist saw pak t20 squad for nz series pasted on a wall while mohsin naqvi was meeting the domestic players.They also mentioned that there only 3 changes in squad ie hassan nawz,niazi and haris.
They just spread false news day in and day out.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I do support Agha so this post isn;t a criticism of him.

But after seeing the disastrous captaincy of Shaheen today, alongside the usual disasters of Babar and Rizwan being unable to play modern T20 cricket is it safe to declare Shadab the best T20 captain in Pakistan?

 

[ads101]

If he was fit as he used to be and kept working on his bowling he would be the ideal captain. Young, a good example in terms of fielding, he’d set a standard. Tries to maximise every facet of his game. Decent mind too.

It’s extremely sad we are in this position again, where the ideal candidate is not the obvious choice due to lack of application and hard work. I don’t know how many times we have to go through this again.

Shadab used to be one of my favourite players. Still is to extent but all I see these days is wasted potential. I loved the fact he was an absolute gun fielder. We have disregarded fielding for so long, he could have led the way. Really think he was the guy that could have redefined Pakistan cricket.

 

[Major]

garbage captain. Hunain Shah got one over, while Jason holder got his full qouta even though he got hit for runs in all his overs.

Captaincy is one issue but his credentials don't allow him to be in the T20I team,period.

 

[giri26]

Did he not throw the entire young team under the bus after the T20I series loss to Afghanistan by advocating for Babar & Rizwan? How is he even a candidate for consideration?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Where is saad masood??? Has he been sidelined because he is a threat for shadab??

 

[cricfan432]

Agha is better and candidate for three format captaincy. One captain for all formats is better

Happy Birthday Shadab Khan

 

[prash88]

If PCT is Islamabad United then yes.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think Shadab is a better batter than Agha and a very good T20 spinner.

If I have to pick one between Shadab and Agha, it is definitely Shadab.

I would rather leave team without captain then choosing between Agha & Shadab. Agha is a chicken who being bowling allrounder didn't bowl in crunch situations. Shadab being hyper-opportunist who will bat at 3 or 4 despite being mediocre and glorified tailender.

 

[stani_pak]

I have a funny feeling if Salman is removed, Shadab might just end up becoming t20 captain

 

[Bewal Express]

Not until he gets his bowling right. He has lots to offer if he could bowl

 

[Ball Blazer]

I am backing Shaheen as captain. No Agha, No Shadab.

Thick as a plank. FZ should be T20 Captain until Saim or someone young can hold diwn a permanent place

FZ is finished now. The days of his odi charm are over as well.

If shadab 3.0 can regain bowling form like Shaheen has recently, then sure. But i would not make that call prematurely till performance proves it. We could wait till this next psl and see how both salman and shadab perform to take a call. Next option is Shaheen but I am just concerned if he becomes captain he may lose bowling focus which we need the most.

Captain has to be solid playing Xi member first before captaincy. At the moment salman is struggling and taking up slot for anyone else even Babar to play in place of him.

How many versions are there going to be of each player?

You are probably right . I have offered my help through a mutual friend but he never took up the offer. I sent images of his issue and he sort of tried it ( maybe because i brought it to his attention, or maybe not), he panicked when it didnt pay off and went back to default.

 

[mon858]

Depends. For players who go into 40s you can have 4.0 also.
I am liking Faheem 2.5 and Shaheen 2.5 these days.
Also, Hafiz 3.0 was quite good also.
Too bad Saim 1.5 is completely out of sorts.

Who does Shadab replace in this T20 team? Salman Agha?

He can replace anyone he wants from no.1 to no.11. His playing role keeps changing based on team's requirement
