Islamabad United 2017 Squad | Discussion Thread

One of them should be Shahzaib Ahmed.

They need a young and quality spinner.

As for the 2nd replacement, maybe Naveed Malik? He can really belt the ball.

Muktar Ahmed is another good choice in this format.
 
Replace Sharjeel with Zeeshan Malik , Khalid Latif with Saud Shakil and Mohammad Irfan with Ehsan Adil.
 
Return of Kamran Ghulam seems obvious in place of Khalid lateef.
Nuaman Anwar,Naveed Malik , Zeeshan Malik , even Ahsan Ali can b gud replacement of Sharjeel

Islamabad United should replace Sharjeel with Nasir Jamshed

The title says it all. It is very unfortunate for Nasir Jamshed not to be a part of a PSL team this year as well as the last year. If Islamabad United is to select Pakistani players, no better choices than Nasir Jamshed and Fawad Alam to replace Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif.
 
in less then 4 hours we have a match, and we dont know who would be playing.
 
Hamza ghanchi or naveed malik because they are similar players bulky like sharjeel and just time the ball and it races away like bullet

Also get in Adil Amin for Khalid latif as he is future of middle order for Pakistan in ODI cricket
 
Possible line ups for today

Dwayne Smith
Asif Ali
Shane Watson
Brad Haddin
Misbah
Hussain Talat
Khalid
Ajmal
Sami
Steven Finn
Rumman Raees/Shadab


Dwayne Smith
Asif Ali
Shane Watson
Brad Haddin
Sam Billings
Misbah
Hussain Talat
Khalid
Ajmal
Sami
Rumman Raees



We will be one fast bowler short. THey could either play Finn in place of Billings, but that would cause us to be a batsmen short.

If the Wicket is a spin wicket, then Badree could also come up.
 
Asif Ali
Shane Watson
Brad Haddin
Sam billings
Misbah
Hussain Talat/Shadab
Khalid
Ajmal
Badree
Sami
Rumman Raees
 
Based on experience and age Rafatullah Mohmand (40 years 97 days), Akbar-ur-Rehman (33 years 150 days) and Kashif Bhatti (30 years 201 days) or someone older than them
 
Apparently i read some social media posts that Salman Butt is being considered :smith

This Karachi Whites Opener Needs to be Drafted in Islamabad United Squad as early as Possible

No replacements have been called up yet by Islamabad.
 
Please get rid of ajmal.

So embarrassing to see him resort to his old action.

If you're getting hit, then so be it and you shouldn't be breaking the law (i.e. going back to your old action).

Hoping someone reports him or he finds the sense to keep bowling with his new action and he will be respected much more for it.

Only one specialist Pakistani batsman in that line up and he's virtually retired. Says so much about Pakistan's current batting quality.
 
With Steven Finn now being called up by England, there's another player gone for IU :))

kyle abbott should be obvious replacement but knowing misbah i wont be surprised if it is cheema or tariq

haroon
 
Only positive to come out of this IU win was that I get a point for a prediction competition me and my friends have going amongst us. :misbah

Wanted united to win at least yesterday because of Shafiq. But you can't deny the fact that Misbah always prefer oldies. Surprised that he gave Shadab a go.

Misbah plays his friends but Sarfraz is also playing Shafiq and Anwar, his friends.
 
We need a pakistani opener. Very top order heavy and once the top 4 get out we dont have any hope after that.
This will allow all the overseas players to move down a spot and get rid of the fead luggage like asif ali etc. Players who cant hit to save their life
 
Have we moved to the top of the table now?

Amazing. No Sharjeel, no Khalid, our primary openers battery gone down, yet managing to compete so well.

But, I think high score chase will get tricky now that Billings is also going. There's NO ONE in Pak who can hit the ball.

Who will we call in?

Duckett is in the squad, Watson can move up the order as well.
 
Need to find some consistency now. So far our form is like this: W, L, W, L, W. We need to start being a bit more consistent but I'm proud of the way Misbah and the boys have been performing despite the ban of corrupts Sharjeel and Khalid.
 
IU have gotten their pleasure after the sorrow of fixing. I hope this is their last win of the tournament and these geysers get smashed for the rest of the games.

I am sorry. Nothing against Islamabad. I just don't like how guys like Sami, Misbah and Irfan are doing well. When they will have no impact whatsoever on the future of Pakistan cricket. Also the future of IU as well. Most teams next year will be similar, but IU players could retire and then they will be at loss as a franchise.

The two losses should had bot happened. 1 was due to the fixing aftermath the other was due to the rain.

Today we should had dominated. It was a poor effort by us. Rafatullah killed it.

If islamabad doesnt get good starts from above then we could get exposed. I would rather have asif ali at the bottom just to be safe
 
Sam will be a miss. But we're starting to find some form. Our bowling combination is good, worried about how we will replace Sam.
 
Hasan123 said:
Lol why?
Click to expand...

Need a good hitter, then we're favorites again to win. There's literally nobody apart from Haddin, Watson, Misbah and Smith who can bat now.

And they aren't really known for great hitting.
 
Stupid reason for hating. You don't like guys like Sami, Misbah and Irfan doing well? LOL. Then u must hate how Imad can't perform with ball or bat or the fact that amir can't get wickets. When he does it's only 1 or 2 or just tailenders. United job is to win the title, not to make sure most of their players end up playing for pak. And they have won the title with these players and these players are performing for them, so why get rid of them? United could always get new players, plus they do have young players as well. They also have young promising Pakistani talent. Even after taking so many blows United is still strong.

Lol Watson and smith can clear the fence. Duckett is a good talent. He's weak against spin but if he can start against fast bowling he'll cause damage.

To be honest I think his 'weakness' against spin gets exaggerated a bit for discussions over him in limited overs. His only real notable issues in test cricket (and the one that caused him a lot of issues) was defending balls from off spinners that pitched on middle and leg and hit the top of off. For starters he's not likely to get many balls like that in T20 cricket and he can be more dynamic in scoring runs off them rather than just trying to keep them out.

He deserves a chance when Smith has been playing all these games despite being rubbish until today. We don't have any other batsmen other than duckett so he should get some game time. Looking at his social media as well he seems to be enjoying the atmosphere of the PSL. So definitely worth a go.

Yes, you are right. Misbah's batting was also poor today tbh. It is indeed vital for us to get good starts. We almost made a mess of today's chase by losing early wickets, when it should have been an easy victory. We need to learn and get better.
 
Becoming a bogey team for us. However, Junaid won them both matches this season with his pathetic bowling.
 
Pathetic performance today from Oldies. Hopefully we will see more of the same from them.
 
So far we have played 6 games in PSL. Won 3 and lost 3. We won all 3 while chasing and lost all 3 while batting first. We are better off chasing.
 
Shadab saved them from what would have been a complete ownage by Qalandars and an early exit from the tournament. They still stand a chance now.

Lol what a stupid reason to hate. PSL isn't about the future of Pakistan cricket team. It's about the franchises. None of the franchises are concerned about the future of Pak cricket team. They are only concerned with the present and to win the tournament. And besides why worry about the future when it's bleak? I mean the guy in your avatar is the future of our team. That just shows that Pakistani team is going nowhere in the future.

lol the games you guys won were all down to Smith getting countless opportunities. lot of luck involved.
 
today's loss against Lahore shows the weakness in Misbah's captaincy. He had Lahore on mat at 3-35 but he did not put the foot down and allowed Lahore to get up and defeat him. He should have known that he has low total to defend and the only chance to win is to bowled out Lahore. But at 3-35 he stopped attacking and as a result lost it.
 
Rafatullah could have been out twice before he was out. Awful innings, awful signing.
 
I'm not supporting anyone in this PSL but part of me is glad that IU won today to spite the "I hate Misbah" brigade.

What a troll :)))
