Is Shaheen Shah Afridi ready for international cricket?

[IAJ]

Even if he ends up being expensive, he should be tried in the T20's against the WI in Pakistan.

When are they touring Pak?

Don’t why people are talking about his accuracy, we have no bowler who are like McGrath or Philander in the national side. Every bowlers bowls a couple of bad balls in the over, so what’s wrong with giving Afridi a go? We need wicket taker..

Kid goes for a couple of boundaries, Sarfaraz shouts at him, kid's confidence shattered.

When are they touring Pak?

I believe in late March and early April but don't quote me on it.

Not ready for top level for sure, but he needs to be in PAK squad for sure.

PAK plays so little and virtually no A tours means hardly any option for such players; on top of that domestics are in absolute shambles. It’s impossible to find players only from 10-12 T20s at PSL, which also is infested by undeserving seniors. It’s a shame that still Misbah, MoHa, Malik ... are considered platinum/diamond in PSL. In the recent regional cup, ever since Amin & MoHa returned, Saud was dropped to 8/9 and then out of a XI, which is a shame and, MoHa batting at 4 is bigger shame).


One good idea could’ve to play 6/7 ODI against Ireland during IPL (in UAE or in BD/SRL) and try these squad

Farhan
Fakhar*
Umar+
Saud
Maqsood
Talat
Md. Irfan (The Leggi)
Raza Hasan
Shaheen
Sadaf
Arshad
—————-
Aga Salman, Ammad butt, Md Musa, Gohar, Umair (WK), Badar

This is like a A tour, with potentials and few senior probables, who are trying to make a come back - Fakhar as only regular as Captain. They can keep Sarfraz as Captain, but he shouldn’t keep, rather play as specialist bat at 4. Ideally, there should be an A tour where most of these players play, but I am afraid if somehow there is an A tour - revulationary will pick Asad, Shan, Sohail, Wahab, Rizwan, Ifthekhar .... in it.
