3 international player are allowed for every team

 

[MMHS]

3 international player are allowed for every team

I think, Associates are allowed their full team (or best available squad) - UAE is playing BD, and almost all of their players in CI scorecard are International & over 30.

Ali Imran is nothing special. Investing in the wrong guy.

Any live telecast of either game?

No idea bhai.

Saw Ali Imran in the QeA cup final hence the post. He is ordinary.

But, he is comfortably out playing Farhan (40 of 66 at Karachi against HK!!!!!), which is even more alarming.

Farhan is nothing special too. Scored on phattas in one tournament.
Shan Masood is another ordinary opener.

Abid and Zeeshan should open for A team imo.

They won't play Zeeshan, which you should understand No way, 4 centurion in 5 innings in countries elite tournament can miss this XI if things are straight. Ul Haq won't allow any young opener/top order to prove something that could be risky for his nephew.

 

[Abdullah719]

Hundreds for both openers.

What a batting by our trundler batsmen against HK. I bet against India our team will not score even 150 runs

 

[shaaik]

Pak U23 366/3

Sahibzada Farhan 130 (125).
Ali Imran 107(105).
Khushdil Shah 83 (40)

Hongkong U23 137/8*

 

[Abdullah719]

Hat-trick and five-fer for Mohammad Ilyas.

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Ilyas is just another example of how the selectors at the national under 19 level are clueless.

 

[MMHS]

Who is this guy Ilyas?

 

[srh]

so Mohammad Rizwan thinks of himself as #4 batsman
and I was hoping he would have stopped playing cricket after being embarrassed as a batsman on international stage

Yes, Bhanja comes first, Pak cricket second.

 

[Monsee]

Hundreds for both openers.

Maybe we should select two openers, tell them that the test match is against HK (not SA) and let them go and try it out

 

[Shafi]

Musa khan is very average bowler. We will see how good actually our bowlers and batsmen are.
