This is not a jinx thread its just stating a fact that if Pakistan are to win the World cup next year, and if Amir, Shehzad and Malik are selected in the 15 man squad they have a chance to achieve something special. Now chances are 2 out of the three would get selected ( Malik and Amir) but regardless if all are selected or 2 or even 1 that individual will go down with winning all 3 ICC trophies.

The only player who has achieved this is MS DHONI ( world t20 2007, world cup 2011, champions trophy 2013).

All three Amir, Shehzad and malik were apart of the 15 man squad that won the world t20 in 2009, and the champions trophy in 2017. Here are some stats to their contribution in each tournament.

Shoaib Malik (World t20 2009) Played 7 matches and scored 144 runs in total with his highest score being 34 and taking 1 wicket in the tournament. His high point was in the final when he along with Shahid Afridi helped Pakistan win their maiden world t20 trophy.

Mohammad Amir ( World t20 2009) played 7 matches and batted in one match as well, how ever he did not score a run in that tournament, but did take 6 wickets for pakistan. He was the find of the tournament and did play a key role in the final as well.

Ahmed Shehzad ( World t20 2009) played 1 match and scored 4 runs with high highest score being 4 runs. This was a very young Ahmed shehzad at the time, so his contribution was nothing be honest, but still being apart of the 15 man squad that one the trophy might have been a special moment for him


Shoaib Malik ( ICC champions trophy 2017) played 5 matches and batted in 4, he scored a total of 54 runs, with his highest score being 16. He did not take any wickets during this tournament. He didn't play a key role in this tournament but his presence was important since he was a senior.

Mohammed Amir ( ICC champions trophy 2017) Amir played matches and batted in 2 matches he scored 37 runs with his highest score being of 28 runs. He took 5 wickets. Although he did have a slow start he did prove to be a match winner when it mattered the most. His high points are 2 games, the way he batted against Sri Lanka to help Pakistan win that match along side Sarfraz. Of course his bowling performance in the finals against India.

Ahmed Shehzad ( ICC champions trophy 2017) Shehzad only played one match were he scored 12 runs, after that he was dropped and did not play a single match, his contributions were nothing, but his high point would be when he got to take some selfies and pictures with the champions trophy in his hand.

I strongly think that when the 15 man squad is announced we will see malik and amir name on that sheet, and if Pakistan is to win that world cup and they will achieve something special indeed.
 
With the World Cup approaching in 4 months or so will the following be selected Ahmed Shehzad is out of the picture but with recent form of Malik and Amir is thier a possibility they miss out on the mega event I still think they will be in the squad even if their in bad form PCB doesn't like making changes
 
The bowler who averaged over 100 last year and couldn't even take a wicket yesterday is our best bowler.��
Pakistan cricket is doomed

You can think whatever you want. Amir will keep winning us tournaments.
 
She why don’t we throw Imran Farhat and Akmal to the list as well while we’re at it.

You didn't understand the thread , it states that if Shehzad Malik and Amir were selected and pak wins the World Cup as an example than these 3 players would achieve something special in the sense that they each won and ICC event. If Akmal and Farhat were selected and we won the wc they wouldn't be on that list to win all 3 ICC events

He averages 112 since the CT, to be precise. 3 wickets in 11 matches.
 
Funny, I would think these are the folks we shouldn’t take to the World Cup
 
I thought the thread was going to be about how these 3 shouldn't be in the world cup squad...
 
As much as I like Malik I am afraid his time is gone and should retire gracefully. On current form Tendai Chatara is a better bowler than Amir, no idea about shaz though, dude was hard done by, who gets banned for smoking a joint? terrible from PCB.
 
Like they had achieved in the previous world cup. Committing with the same set of players and expecting a different result is reminiscent to placing sugar cane in the machine and expecting the mango juice to come out.

Yes once the team has scored 340 in finals. I have seen blind fans of other players but at least after they have some achievements. Imagine if India had fan following of Irfan Pathan and Ishant like this because they won us world cup and CT once
 
Junaid Khan is an enigma. Is treated like a Dinda by Tamim. Gets injured. Comes back as Akram and takes a 5for. Gets injured again.

You never know which Junaid will turn up. He could be the bowler of the tournament if he gets in form at the WC.
 
add Imran Nazir to that list and Farhat should come out of retirement .

Actually read the the OP it had nothing to do with saying these players Should be selected it simply says that if Malik Amir and Shehzad were selected and pak end up winning all three would have won all three ICC titles
 
Shan Masood, the opener in form , is sitting on the bench and we are talking about Ahmed Shehzad :))

My world Cup 15 would be

Fakhar Zaman
Shan Masood
Imam
Babar Azam
Haris Sohail
Hafeez
Rizwan
Amir
Shaheen Shah
Usman Shinwari
Hasan Ali
Shadab Khan
Sarfraz Ahmad
Imad Wasim
Umar Akmal/Shoaib Malik

Hussain Talat and Faheem Ashraf are not ready for international cricket. Faheem is not a good enough batsman to be counted as an all rounder. Malik is woeful overseas.

And if Rizwan proves himself in these limited games, we can also discard Sarfraz.
 
So with the squad that is selected only Malik made it. How ever Amir can still come through if he performs well or if someone gets injured. So if the squad stays the same as the 15 who got selected and Pakistan win the World Cup, than Malik will be only Pakistani player to be a part of the squads that won the t20 in 2019 , the champions trophy 2017 and the World Cup 2019 ( if they win).
 
So now that it's been confirmed that Amir is a part of the World Cup squad

As the the thread stated if pak win the World Cup Than Amir and Malik will have all 3 ICC titles to their name

Also if they are to win

How would Amir and Malik contribute to the teams victory if they do end up winning
 
So with Malik retiring he will not be able to complete the treble of ICC championships

How ever with the 2023 World Cup in 4 years can Amir or Shehzad make the team or even both and bigger question is can they win the World Cup only time will tell
