Mohammad Nawaz should be brought into Pakistan ODI team immediately

[IM NOT YOU]

He tore up the Manszi super league in South Africa on both fast and slow surfaces

He is tearing up the Bangladesh Premier League on both fast and slow surfaces

His bowling has been phenomenal. He bowls excellent cramping deliveries and he has learned to turn it as well. He is the best bowler on his team literally every match.

Finally, his power game has evolved. He has the ability to hit both pacers and spinners for 6 and he has shown excellent ability to finish the innings as well.

He is literally the allrounder we need right now. There should be no excuse for Mohammad Nawaz not joining team Pakistan for the World Cup.

We always mock the PCB for not knowing the difference between formats, but it appears that it is some PPers that don't get it either.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Are you kidding me?

 

[Markhor]

Are you kidding me?

Same OP thinks Shoaib Malik is undroppable despite yet another failure outside Asia against a top team so his judgement is flawed shall we say.

 

[IM NOT YOU]

yes Shoaib malik our best batsman in all limited overs formats should be dropped. good call

 

[Pete Rose]

He did not look great in the asia cup. Part of the challenge for all these young all-rounders is that they havent played consistently enough in the chances provided.

actually, if you look around the world, most of the best ODI batsman are being drafted into teams based on their t20 performances. I think you're missing the world wide trend.

If your logic succeeded then jos butler, ben stokes, johnny Bairstow, and alex hales would not be in England ODI team.

if your logic was true then hetmyer, andre Russell, fabian allen, and Nicolas pooran would not be in the west indies odi team

if your criticism was warranted then we would have no idea who Rishabh pant or hardik pandya are.


if your criticism made sense then van der dussen and Hendricks would not be in the south Africa ODi team.

Do you realise that van der dussen and Hendricks got drafted by south Africa because of their performance in the same manszi super league that I spoke of ?

Bet you didn't. Its easy to criticise, harder to actually watch matches.

 

[moghul]

Got more chances than he deserved, just got rid of him and you want to bring back ? ODIs are different from domestic T20.

 

[Mirpur express]

We already have Imad , who has proved to be much more reliable then this hack who is a decent sla but a failure @ LOI batting

 

[Hawkeye]

I'm not sure if OP should be allowed to make further posts.

I haven't seen a worse suggestion here in a long long time.

 

[IM NOT YOU]

ODIs are different than domestic t20. hmm. whats your point?


the batsman who single handedly won this series for south Africa was van der dussen and he was discovered through his success in global t20 Canada and subsequently Manszi Super League t20 in south Africa.

What ODIs did him or Hendricks play in between? zero. both got drafted because of their consistency in t20.

 

[Salman4.]

How to unsee something?

 

[Plumb]

so list of bits and pieces players in lineup Malik/Hafeez/Faheem/Imad/Shadab. Add another one as Nawaz What a solution

 

[topspin]

yes Shoaib malik our best batsman in all limited overs formats should be dropped. good call

Better than Babar and Fakhar?

 

[Pete Rose]

I cannot respect this opinion because poster feels shoaib malik is our best batsman.

 

[Markhor]

yes Shoaib malik our best batsman in all limited overs formats should be dropped. good call

Your best batsman WOULD NOT average 29 at a SR of 79 against top sides since 2015.

Meanwhile you would exclude Saud Shakeel who has a List A average of 52 and SR of 85 because of his domestic T20 record.

And now you want a proven TTF like Mohammad Nawaz to return. What did he do in the Asia Cup in spin friendly conditions ?

We are truly blessed you are not a selector.

Well the guy who IS the selector isn't doing a much better job anyway

 

[Suleiman]

As I said before, us Pakistanis do not deserve talents like Nawaz and few others like Shadab.

 

[saeedhk]

Shows how bad the team is when Nawaz is seen as a must-have.

 

[Slim]

LOL @ comparing Nawaz with Shadab.

Nawaz is a hack with the bat, and an average bowler. Totally mediocre. No need to play him in any international team.

Yes. Another bits n pieces cricketer. Brilliant idea.

Funniest comment of the month

 

[in_cutter]

So, now we have threads on emergency recalls for Sharjeel, Kamran/Umar Akmal, & Nawaz. Who is next?

 

[mmkextreme_1]

No thank you!

 

[Mamoon]

Deserves more chances over the show-off Shadab.

 

[hadi123]

No. Mediocre player

 

[Hamza_]

His hitting range has improved.

 

[Hasan123]

Imad is better than Nawaz. No point in having 2 left arm spinners in the line up.

 

[mastersaan10]

Imad is the only left arm spinner we need in the team for now. He is playing the true all-rounder role and we need to stop the obbession with all the bits and pieces players. Amir, faheem need to be dropped, they are not wicket takers so no ise of them.

 

[DRsohail]

Deserves more chances over the show-off Shadab.

Again replacing one mediocre with its inferior version . I am getting annoyed with this golden boy.

 

[Chokli]

we saw what he was capable of in the asia cup

 

[topspin]

Deserves more chances over the show-off Shadab.

I'm not trying to defend the player in any way whatsoever, if anything I want him discarded out of the ODI first team but in what sense is he a show off? I thought you wanted players having the looks of star quality like Ali Zafar, Humayun Saeed and etc.

 

[PakPremi]

Nawaz should never return there at least 5 off spinners better than him.
Shadab is a gem and has done well in many games for Pak and is a must for Pak in both ODI and T20.

We need world class players with star quality, not poor players with star quality.

 

[waqar goraya]

Some players are only meant for leagues. They are legends there. Likes of Sohail Tanvir, Sami, Kamran Akmal and now Nawaz.

 

[Sher Khan]

Shadab is going nowhere. But nawaz deserves the spot bilal has in tests.

 

[hafizexpress]

We need world class players with star quality, not poor players with star quality.

But how does he "show off"

 

[Mirpur express]

Deserves more chances over the show-off Shadab.

The guy is only 20 & closing in on 100 international wickets.. calm down with the clueless hate

 

[Mamoon]

Not interested in the total number of wickets. He has indulged in minnow bashing to his heart's content. His record against the top teams is very mediocre. As a spinner, he is not good enough to be on the same platform as Rashid, Kuldeep and Chahal. In fact, Rashid is actually a better Limited Overs batsman than him, and he is hardly an all-rounder.

 

[Mamoon]

But how does he "show off"

It is hard to explain, but he gives me that vibe. He plays for the cameras too much and over-acts on the field. No doubt he is a fine fielder, but he can be too theatrical at times.

That's what Shehzad and Umar Akmal used to do. To me, this guy evidently gives his body on the field and has no intention of showing off. But that is my thinking you are entitled to your opinion.

 

[moghul]

Is Pakistan cricket is that bad that someone is arguing to bring back this useless "allrounder" Nawaz ?

 

[Sadozai]

Nawaz the batsman is no better than Hussain Talat, who himself is a dud

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Pakistan needs an Anwar Ali type of batsman and a Faheem Ashraf type of bowler.

While we can’t find that type of player, it’ll only make sense to include them both in the XI.

 

[Snak3eye5]

We should have gone with Imam and Shaan Masood who would take pressure off of Babar. But as usual our selectors, coaches and captain are clueless as usual.

do you think nawaz is good enough to be on the same platform as Rashid, Kuldeep and Chahal? if not then it's better to have Shadab in the team rather than nawaz.

1st thing I don't consider Shadab an all-rounder, Shadab is not the best leg spinner in the world either but he is not the worst as well, in fact he is better than the most we have in domestic, though he can further improve his bowling.

BTW, there are lot of spinners who are not as good as Rashid, kuldeep etc. but the are still doing good job for their respective teams.

 

[Sadozai]

Pakistan needs an Andre Russell but unfortunately we don't have any player in the domestic who is 80% of Russell.
