Name 6 players you feel should come into the Pakistan T20 team post WC 2026

[mesmerizer85]

Given the recent performances of the Shaheens and U19 teams, it may be time to consider changes that bring new faces into the setup

To be dropped:
Saim
Agha
Babar
Nawaz
Shadab
Shaheen

To be added or retained:
Maaz Sadaqat
Khawaja Nafay
Irfan khan Niazi
Sufiyan Muqeem
Daniyal
Abrar

Would be great to hear others opinions

 

[Savak]

Play the top domestic performers for starters and also select players whom you feel very confidently will be the future for Pakistan.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Usman Khan also needs to be dropped and Khawaja Nafay should be brought in as the wicketkeeper.

 

[mesmerizer85]

Agreed @Savak

Just as Farhan proved his mettle in domestic cricket and we’re seeing the positives, it would be best to select players who consistently grind there and rise to the top.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

1. Chida
2. Tony
3. Akku
4. Billu
5. Cheema
6. Hira

 

[mon858]

Wait for psl. Take it from there and give extended rope to anyone new.

Also, just gotta drop couple of guys maybe like Babar (or he opens if stays), Shaheen, Shadab (i am okay with his batting though, he can play just for that alone and occasionally an over or 2 in helpful conditions, honestly we dont have good backup batsmen ready)

Note that with same team we just beat Australia 3 0 at home. We competed decently with England. India game is always an aberration plus they are number 1 so its okay if we are not beating them given our skills and ranking.

And lastly, forget about 11 all rounders. Play more specialists.

1. Chida
2. Tony
3. Akku
4. Billu
5. Cheema
6. Hira

I get what you are trying to say here, but honestly if we have players selected on merit im sure they would perform much better than this tried and tested bunch of failures

 

[Devadwal]

I have read the news today that Shadab Khan will replace Salman Agha as T20 captain if Pakistan fails to qualify for the semi-finals.

Is this even possible, seriously?

 

[mesmerizer85]

We need a similar approach , like when Dhoni, as a new captain, phased out senior players and brought in a fresh group that went on to win the inaugural World Cup.

Salman Ali Agha walks captaincy tightrope, Shadab Khan next in line? - Sports News Portal | Revsportz

Major changes could be on the cards if Pakistan fail to reach the semi-final of the ongoing T20 World Cup, it is learnt. Salman Ali Agha is walking a captaincy tightrope and might be the first casualty of the failure. According to sources, Shadab Khan could be the new T20I captain. Head coach Mike

6 players who I think should join Pakistan's T20 team post-2026 World T20:

Maaz
Arafat Minhas
Sufiyan
Daniyal
H Nawaz
Abbas Afridi

 

[Savak]

No more Babar, Rizwan, Shaheen and Rauf in T-20 Cricket.

Shadab should only play if he has played 1-2 seasons in domestic cricket.

What about Nawaz?

 

[Savak]

What about Nawaz?

I believe Nawaz will be in Hesson's plans. Nawaz is only effective on spinning wickets. His hard hitting with the bat is under utilized. He has opened the batting in domestic cricket. I would have used him as a pinch hitter, he is wasted lower down the order.

 

[gazza619]

You can pick a World XI and make them represent Pakistan.

Team will still loose as long as manhoos Naqvi is the chairman

 

[CricVet]

I don't care who it is, as long as they show consistency in their performance, which would NEVER be a selection priority in corrupt Pakistan.

 

[Major]

Lol op wants maaz sadaqat and khawaja nafay....

 

[Rana]

No more Babar, Rizwan, Shaheen and Rauf in T-20 Cricket

How do you plan on making this happen?

Besides Rauf, all others are captains of their PSL franchises

None of them have or will retire from T20is announcing that they are shifting their focus on Test/ODI cricket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1. Chida
2. Tony
3. Akku
4. Billu
5. Cheema
6. Hira

You got the first one mixed up it's Sheeda

 

[Rana]

Minhas Bros

Sadaqat

Ahmed Daniyal

Sufyan Moqim

Faisal Akram

Mehran Mumtaz

Nafay

Ali Raza

Hassan Khan?? ( nothing to gain with USA)

 

[mesmerizer85]

Lol op wants maaz sadaqat and khawaja nafay....

Bhai ab new faces ke liye Shahid Afridi ya Abdul Razzaq toh nahi la saktein..

Do you have any suggestions for any domestic performers i may have missed ?

 

[Major]

Bhai ab new faces ke liye Shahid Afridi ya Abdul Razzaq toh nahi la saktein..

Do you have any suggestions for any domestic performers i may have missed ?

Why do you think saim, nawaz shadab and co failed?

Because they were made part of the international team based off psl and u19 cricket.

They were not developed, thus as unfinished raw cricketers they had their early highlights and than failed massively


Maaz sadaqat is not developed. You bring him in now, you have another haider ali, who will give u a few good games and than will be a dud later on.

Khawaja nafay played one good innings for Quetta, and failed in rest. Yet based on that performance he is in national team and he is not even good.

Point is, the 6 u mentioned, u would be mentioning 6 replacements for them in an year.

Like havnt we learned anything from the Hassan Nawaz flukes?

 

[ads101]

Don’t want youngsters coming in unprepared to international cricket. It doesn’t work. We’ve seen that, even Saim is struggling and he is the best of them.

Let them get consistent in domestic and only pick them when they are ready. If we have to suffer in the period before until they are ready so be it. Too many talented batsmen have had their long term career ruined because they were picked early and then never had time to properly develop as batsmen. Honestly we’re probably better off not picking any batsmen until they’re 24 or so.

[m.shah]

India has that talent to replace, Pakistan hasn't. No matter who will Pakistan replace they will be below average team

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Knowing pak, they will bring back Rizwan, haris, hasnain, naseem back to the playing xi

 

[alishahid]

Next thing is they make farhan the captain
