The difference between Dean Jones and Misbah is clear as day. Atrocious selections throughout the tournament, the same strategy from start to finish, even though it was quite clearly failing. Benching Zafar when he has shown in three games, why he needed to play every game. Playing Faheem again and again, despite zero return.
This is the first time Islamabad United hasn't qualified for the playoffs, meanwhile Karachi has qualified with a game to spare. That says it all.
Going forward, we need big changes. I will retain Shadab, Zafar and Musa maybe. I like Amad too but he hasn't done anything of note, though he hasn't gotten many chances either to be fair.
Faheem and Asif need to be released. Ronchi is going to be past it too, so we need someone at the top of the order too. This time look for someone from our own domestic setup. Get some batsmen in the emerging category this time. I'll go with Zeeshan Malik or Abdullah Shafique.
Hopefully this is the end of Misbah's stint as well. This result shouldn't be acceptable.
Finally we need good bowlers. Either get some overseas talent or get someone from other teams who are good say like Naseem. The pace attack in current form is not good at all. Ruman is not the same and Akif give 3 boundary balls each over.
