Mohammad Rizwan vs Mohammad Haris – Is the comparison even justified anymore?

Who should be Pakistan's first-choice wicketkeeper in T20Is?

If Rizwan comes in the set up pakistan will have 3 consolidators in the middle order. All 3 are right handers. Feast for left arm spinners, wrist spinners.
Playing 3 consolidators in T20 cricket would be suicidal.
 
Jab aggressors M Haris, Azam Khan aur Usman Khan jaise hon, tou consolidators hi theek hain.
1 or 2 consolidators are enough, 3 would be too much. You can't win T20 matches against top teams by scoring 150.
 
Call me when Rizwan scores 100 off 45 balls.

I don’t care about career stats, just peaks

Well, it’s not like we play to win

We play to make fans happy.
 
Yes and those two are RizBar.

Agha has no place in T20s I am afraid
Some random bloke says you need 2 accumulators and your gullible tashreef believes him?

Tone down!

Agha is staying! Pakistan cricket team isn’t set up to make looney tunes fans happy. That era is over.
 
So what's latest in this wicket keeper battle ??

Rizwan v Haris v Usman v Haseebullah

Who's on plane to Colombo.
 
Neither should be in squad. We have invested in Usman recently and he should be given the world cup or have Khawaja as a wildcard.

Haris fielding efforts v India was unforgivable.

Agree.

Nafay kept in the last game. Also, his strike-rate is pretty good.

Nafay or Usman should be the T20 keeper.
 
First time in a long time that Pakistan seem to have a problem in wicketkeeping and none of the options look attractive.

Rizwan is woefully out of form. He is still the best keeping option but hasn't played for a while and seems to be out of favor. Also with Babar in the squad picking Rizwan will be suicidal unless Rizwan bats down the order in a finisher role which he has never done and there is little evidence that he is capable of it.

Haris is and has always been a lottery. If he had even a shred of common sense he could have easily cemented his position in the team but time and again he has thrown it away. Given the lack of options i'd still be tempted to pick him given he is a specialist keeper but i feel the management's patience has run out.

Both Usman and Nafay are a gamble but the management seems to have decided that they'll go with one of them and I don't think it'll make much of a difference who gets picked.

After the WC we should look for long term specialist options.
