What's new

Mukhtar Ahmed : Hard hitting leg spin bowling all rounder. Sound familiar?

There is no one better than Shahzaib and Sharjeel for T20s in Pakistan.

If you're calling for Shahzaib, might as well mention Imran Nazir who was a beast for such formats.

We need hitters who can properly time their hits yes, but I'll prefer someone inexperienced and young.
 
Why didn't he bowl yesterday?


BTW sharjeel khan is a hack and against good bowlers he can't connect at all.

Hacks can be great too. Finch. Sehwag.

He's an excellent timer and he can connect. Will almost always give you a 10 ball 25 at least, and 50+ occasionally. Need him in T20s
 
He will be the next Andrew Symonds.

Andrew Symonds has a test average of 40.61, an ODI average of 39.75, and a t20 average of 48.14. First of all, Mukhtar is nowhere near good enough to play Test cricket. It will be an achievement if Mukhtar can have even half the batting averages of Symonds
 
I have not seen him bat so far but after a long time Pakistan have managed to win a LOI game albeit and "A" team game and this man has played a key role.

Hack or whatever, Pakistan needs a player with an X factor, a batsmen who when comes off then wins the game for his team. If Mukhtar Ahmed can click in 3 out of 10 games (meaning 50+ score in quick time) then he is good to be invested upon.

Meanwhile the sooner they get Mohammed Aamer back to get some X factor in bowling, the better for Pakistan.

So you are happy with a opener who can deliver in 30% matches!!! 70% failure is acceptable for an opening batsman!!! If one is selected for batting, shouldn't he deliver at least 60% matches!!
 
If he improves his bowling then he and kamran ghulam will be candidates to replace afridi in Odi team.
 
He should get another chance in loi I think it should be between these 3 for opening Shahzeb/Fakhar/Mukhtar
 
he did not even play in the last 2 domestic one day tournaments

Quite surprsing really

I reckon he was hardly dealt with , but in domestic his treatment appears to be criminal. His t20 record is among the best in the domestic scene, surprised he didnt get a psl contract

there are quite a few good players that did not get the contract sadly, like him, Kamran Ghulam, Fawad Alam, Imam-ul-Haq, Usman Shinwari, Agha Salman, Bilal Asif etc. hopefully we'll see more of them in the next edition when they add another team

He needs to be picked up by a PSL franchise and should be considered for T20I team. Working with professional coaching staff should do him a lot of good.
