Right, so this is why you tagged me.
Usman khan isn't as bad as people are claiming. Imo saud should be in his place, but he isnt that bad.
He's not special but can be a handy player for pakistan.
The problem with pcb is that
A) Their hypocritical, Their questioning his technique yet ugly batters like tayyab, Rizwan, Fakhar etc are in the squad. Fakhar proved that you don't need to be classy to be the best batter in the time. Don't get me wrong nothing with classy, Saim and saud are very classy, But classy =/= best.
B) He top scored in domestics (PSL) and champions cup 2x and proved he was the best batter. Rizwan, Babar and other international players played as well, why didn't they reach no 1?
C) Pcb has mistreated him. They shoved him in with zero practise at no 5 deapite being a psl no 3 or opener and he played like 1 or 2 games only vs Ireland, England and nz. They didn't even give him all games and then all of the sudden he's expected to play in a world cup.
They play him sparingly and haven't given him a long run, Even vs Aus they use him here and their.
It would make sense had he played all games but you play him once and they he plays another game 5 matches later.
You can't claim to drop him when you didn't even hive him a run. By this logic shouldn’t rizwan have been dropped forever? Why was rizwan allowed to have nearly 5 years of failures before being allowed to get settled that too as an opener and no 4 and then captain?
