Pakistan need Sharjeel Khan back as soon as possible

He was blooming under Mickey. But my guess is he got involved with the wrong people way too early. Anyone remember the fake video episode? He’d only played >20 games then and was out of the team.

Nasir Jamshaid was tryna get his spot back by getting the 2 openers banned.
 
Really missing this guy today. We would atleast stand a chance of chasing down this massive total if Sharjeel was in the side.
 
He has still not reached 30 and if he hasn’t forgotton batting totally he still has some good 5 years left.

What is the latest newz on him? When is he available again?
 
PCB has been rejecting his appeals to play domestic cricket, pressurizing him to first confess of the crime.

Confession has been made conditional for him to take part in domestic cricket.

Shahzaib Hasan ban ended long time back but PCB tried to force him to confess and enter rehabilitation process which he did'nt and left for UK. Khaled Latif also has decided against appeal. PCB is using the admission card against these players who would rather screw their own career than accept the crime.

PCB has'nt made the complete tribunal findings and verdict public in case some player takes them to court.

Both PCB and these players need a third option before PCB destroys 3 more careers while fecilitating convicted jailed spotfixers like Salman Butt and Amir in NCA.
 
Courtesy of Najam Sethi for going the extra mile to get him banned, despite no conclusive evidence.

He opened his mouth because he wanted to make a name for himself and in order to preserve his ego he did everything in his power to get him prosecuted. After the verdict was announced, this shameless dictator of the PCB pressed for a longer sentence.

Alhumdulillah, IK fired him. PCB needs to be free from such individuals and I have to stress that because this individual has a very shady past.

Rofl IK is a joke in Pakistan rite now, if things are going fine then why PCB is mishandling and playing with these players.

Imran Khan has brought a powerful yet indecisive Sheharyar Khan like old timer who has no respect even in the BoG. Most of the Najam Sethi setup, the likes of Subhan Ahmed are still there.

PCB is grossly mishandling this guy Sharjeel who we need right now.

Look lets not turn this into a political discussion about IK and PTI. My post was specific to Najam Sethi's treatment of Sharjeel and nothing else.

Perhaps I may have given you the impression that I'm some kind of blind follower and thus hold a favourable view of Ehsan Mani, but actually I have changed my stance having seen him stand by Sarfraz, following his racial abuse in SA. His failure to find a more suitable captain to lead the side epitomises his incompetence.

But one thing I can be pretty sure about - he wouldn't allow a key player in the side be grossly mistreated like he was under Najam Sethi.

Ehsan Mani has been ignoring and mistreating players like Sharjeel Khan, he has delegated everything to the lower biased staff which was working under Sethi.

Rite now convicted spotfixers like Salman Butt are being allowed to take level 1 coaching class and Sharjeel appeal being rejected again and again to take part in domestic league. I'm sure once Sharjeel ban completes he will take off to UK or Australia. PCB representing only few interests while destroying any options to tallunts like Imam and Akmals.

A modern ODI suite. Only need one accumulator in babar. This is a modern side.
 
Back in 2016 i legit thought this guy would be a star at the 2019 world cup.
Pakistan cricket , sigh.

While babar is the more classier all round batsman , this bloke was the best striker of genuine fast bowling from pakistan i have seen in a very long time, the sort of guy who could pull 90 mph stuff off a good length , incredible eye.

Truly I remember him playing great shots in Australia just before his ban
 
With Sharjeel back into the team, we will have both the fixers (Amir and Sharjeel) both in the team. That shows the kind of mentality we have. In any other country no way Amir would have made any comeback
 
A lot of injustice has been done to him but the curse has left our team in shambles. The selector used the opportunity to get his friend Ahmed Shehzad and nephew into the team.

PCB should find a way to mend with Sharjeel and get his ban over with.
 
I want Sharjeel Khan back. He has got something about him. Any news on his domestic comeback ? Isn't his 2 and a half years ban going to end somewhere in Aug 2019 ?
 
Oh bus kardo old players ko lana. This is why players like hafeez and malik still exist in the team. Let go.
 
Return of Sharjeel Khan

This team would be so much better if we had a natural hitter of the ball like Sharjeel back. Has anyone heard news of his suspension?
When is he eligible to play again?
 
These short term arrangements won’t do any good. Pakistan cricket needs a major surgery
 
Chachoo will kneecap Sharjeel if he makes even a semblance of threat of bhateeja's place in the side...

Sharjeel is not coming back...no matter how bad the team needs him...
 
No Sharjeel, thank you. No need to bring in another convicted fraudster in the team. Have we not had enough??

Groom Asif Ali as opener with Fakhar as opener and captain.
 
I'll take him back in a flash if he does well in domestics and PSL (if anyone signs him)
 
Shajeel khan
Umar akmal
Ahsan ali
Get these guys in the team asap!
Try out saud shakeel, see if hes any good.
Only retain fakhar, babar and haris from this current top 6.
 
At what point do we reconsider Sharjeel Khan?

I think the world of cricket management is not as harsh as some of our fans and media. Amir is back, Salman Butt got a PSL gig, Warner and Smith are back as well. No point being so harsh on Sharjeel.

Clearly, he is needed. You can argue that you need Fakhar to fire in big games to stand a chance. Well I recon you can double your chances of big match, impact performances by including Sharjeel. Push Imam at 3 as anchor and Babar 4.

Time to say goodbye to Hafeez and Malik. Also think about Umar Akmal as a long term number 6 replacement for either Malik or Sarfaraz
 
When he’s lost weight and is fit enough to not be a liability in the field. Which is probably, never.
 
He was OK, nothing sensational , now after gap of many years, older and even more physically challenged, we don't need him. Time to move forward, not backward.
 
He will be back anyways. After the next PSL he will probably be leading run scorer.
 
At PP, our best cricketer is always who is not in the team. Sharjeel played couple of good inning but otherwise he was inconsistent, overweight, a bad fielder even at his "prime". Now with this gap of many years and older, he must be even more overweight, unfit and will be a failure whenever he returns. Time to move forward.
 
Can’t forget his performances against Australia in Australia.

Sharjeel Khan
Fakhar Zaman
Babar Azam
Saif Badar
Muhammad Rizwan
Asif Ali
Imad Wasim/Shadab Khan
Usama Mir/Zafar Gohar/Umer Khan (we need an extra attacking spinner)
Muhammad Amir C
Muhammad Hasnain
Shaheen Shah Afridi

With a proper management this team can flourish imo.
 
For God's sake stop.

Sharjeel is finished. He is over 30 ( officially ) anyway and hasnt played a game in God knows how many years. I even heard he has become a boxer now. And by next world cup he will be 34 years of age. His reflexss would be crap and he would be a walking wicket.

PLUS, why on earth is everyone making him out to be some kind of a saviour? He isnt a Kohli or an AB. Just a good batsman at best who will not change the fortunes of Pakistan team in terms of results. And he is same as Fakhar against spin, mediocre.

My God, this world cup debacle has made us crazy.
 
^^^
Did not win us any match in Australia.

PCB/Pakistan need to move away from corrupt practice of bringing back convicted match fixer to the team.

Plenty of clean players waiting in the wings for their chance to represent Pakistan with distinction. Lets get Fakhar in captaincy, Babar as VC and nurture Amin/Asif Ali/and dozens of other who have been tried, chewed and spat out just after few games.
 
If Sharjeel is our only hope, that is not a good sign for our cricket
 
How old is he? While he was a much better opener than Fakhar, he looked at least 30, and I'm not sure we should be building for the future by bringing back players banned for fixing.
 
was watching highlights of Sharjeel
he seems so secure on the wicket compare to Fakhar zaman

I remember him being flop against India in Asia cup as well as World T20.Pathetic fitness and poor player of spin.But only here on PP would someone get an impression as if we are missing a player of Warners's calibre.Its time to let go all these players and start with Fakahr,Babar and Amir as our core

He is miles better than Fakhar, at least against pace. But I don't see any point in picking a 30yr old who was banned for fixing anyway, need to look at the next crop of youngsters. Agree about the fitness issues.
 
We need to change the overall mentality of the team. We need a team that does not fear the opponent. We need a team that does not rely on one dimensional players. Just look at the current lot. We have Imam who cannot strike at 130 even if his life depends on it. We have Fakhar who is a hit or miss kind of a player. We have Babar who just want to score pretty fifties and hundreds and lacks the ability to finish games. The rest aren't even worth discussing.

Does bringing back Sharjeel solve any of these underlying issues? I don't think so.
 
We are obsessed with Hacks (Sharjeel, Mukhtar, Asif & Awais Zia etc ) and because of this obsession we have one trick ponies like Asif Ali playing but not solid Player like Haris Sohail. Asif Ali cost us the Match against Australia. Against India we again did not Play Haris Sohail. Weakening the Middle order by selecting railu kataa Shoaib Malik .

We need batsmen like Kane Williamson, Joe Root, Virat Kohli who are technically correct, perform consistently and in all conditions. if you have consistent batsmen and skillful bowlers, you will win regularly. Stop selecting Gimmick players. They perform once in a blue moon and will cause embarrassments on regular basis. And as fans we need to stop demanding extreme strike rates. High strike rates are useless if not backed by consistency.
 
Should Sharjeel Khan replace Imam ul Haq?

Imam looks okay-ish compared to other opening batsmen and is one of our top batsmen despite being a ’parchi’ but i’m also a big fan of Sharjeel Khan which is why i’m excited to see him back in the team in August.

Do you think that Sharjeel Khan should replace Imam or not?
 
PCB by banning Shajeel Khan, has cost Pakistan the world cup,!

When pcb banned shajeel khan for 2.5 years, with the ban ending after the world cup, many of us knew that the pcb had just destroyed any chance of pakistan winning the world cup!
Why did the ban have to be 2.5 years, ending JUST after the world cup?
Why could the ban not be 1.5 or 2 years, giving shajeel time to make it back into the team for the world cup!
Just before shajeel's ban, both he and babar were on fire, we have seen what babar has done in this world cup, what would shajeel have done, had he been given the chance?

We are out of this world cup dueto nrr, most likely, thats what happens when you have so many sub 100 strike rate batsman - imam, babar, haris, safaraz etc.
Only fakhar and asif have a power game and both failed miserably in this world cup! Luckily imad has improved his power hitting and had rescued us a few times!
We can only afford to have babar and haris in this line up and the rest of the sub 100 strike rate batsman must be discarded.
Shajeel and ahsan ali should be our openers with babar and haris our main stay batsman. Fakhar can be tried as a lower order hitter along with imad.
Leaving us requiring a new wicket keeper!
Amir can stay temporary as a bowler, but shaheen, husnain and haris rauf should be our pace attack. And we require a leg spinner and an off spinner!

So do you guys think the pcb messed up by banning shajeel for so long, costing us the world cup and would you like to see shajeel back in the pakistan team, provided that he can still bat how he did before his ban?
 
Dont think if Sharjeel was scoring hundreds for fun before he got banned.

Nevertheless we need some power hitters.
 
He Was somewhat involved In fixing unlike some other players like Mohammad irfan Who was contacted by Bokky but didt inform pcb Which led to Some matches banned for irfan as well I guess .
PCB did the right move to Make Psl a Better League

2 year ban would of sufficed!
He would now have been playing in this world cup!
 
Which tournament did Sharjeel win for us.We need young openers not fixers who will be 35 in 2023.Also Sharjeel like Fakhar was horrible against spin and very poor fitness wise
 
This is the first worldcup in recent history where we actually gave a good show. The fact is that our best is just not good enough. The domestic is in shambles. We have no professionalism or work ethic. Players like Imam still form our backbone. Our pacers are struggling to hit 140k. Our spinners don't turn the ball. Our youngsters are malnourished. Our selector is uneducated. Our legends are conceited (eg Younis Khan refusing u19 assignment when Rahul Dravid next door is doing wonders). In short, we are doomed.

Just move on from these cheats please. He has a healthy average of 30 lol what's so special about him? Ok he played a good series against Australia. But did we win the series ? No. So what's the difference between him or any other batsman ?

Bro only the last world cup.pak team was poor, the 2011 team got to the semis and should have won the world cup!
 
He messaged me today and said that he's all set for a return to cricket in August.
 
Who is Sharjeel? Bradman? He was an okay cricketer who was average against spin. He wouldnt have won Pakistan this cup. And He will be 35 in 2023 world cup. Look for another opener.

whats your opinion about him? Surely there is no chance that another fixer will come back to the team.
 
Would've been in Warner league by now.

Impact player, with excellent consistency. And good learning aptitude.
 
He wasted no time. Even when he was out of touch, he wasted no time at all, unlike Fakhar ofcourse.

I can’t answer that but I can say is even if he’s 10% of the player he was he’d still be better than half our batting lineup.

I’m sure he would have scored more than a total of 8 in 3 innings.

If he takes the swing wildly at every ball approach he will connect more than Asif Ali.

He will have more of an impact on a game than Imam at his best can.


I’m in favour of lifetime bans from the national team for those caught match/spot fixing but if you’re going to let Amir and Malik back then you can’t be selective. One rule for all.
