You got Sufiyan Muqeem,Fasial Akram you also have Mubasir who is an all rounder and should have 100% been picked.

Pretty sure Mubasir is injured as he hasn't played anywhere since mid champion's cup. Sufiyan is on the T20 squad. Faisal Akram will be going to Zimbabwe.

Rameez Jr. has put up really good numbers in his FC career so far. Really seems to flight his deliveries and get that big leg break... good test for him to prove he is a good Test spinner prospect.

This kashif ali is a good bowler he is a lanky athletic build and can bowl a heavy bowl and can hit the deck hard .

He is taller and quicker than Khurram too.

 

[shah_1]

I like the look of Kashif Ali

He should go to South Africa tour

 

[Xoib]

He is taller and quicker than Khurram too.

Any evidence I don’t think he’s played a televised game where speeds are recorded

[Kianig89]

Good work , barring WasimJ and Khurri who already played for Pakistan, let these youngsters toil in domestice for some time.

Perfect example is Saim & Shafiq who were thrown in National team and their progression took alot of games

 

[RidiculousMan]

He is taller and quicker than Khurram too.

But not as consistent or skillful as Khurram. Khurram is the next big thing in Tests for Pakistan after M Asif

 

[shamaan]

I like the look of Kashif Ali

He should go to South Africa tour

They will proberly pick Shaheen,Naseem,Mir Hamza,Shahzad also Jamal will be in the squad highly unlikely they will Kashif.

[Markhor]

Junior should be playing over Sameen also Khurram is our main test pacer no need for him in A games

Think they want Khurram to get overs under his belt before South Africa.

Shame he's had injuries because he looks a thinking and skilful bowler.

Kashif Ali is listed as 30 years old but looks a late starter having only made his FC debut in 2021.

I remember seeing his age in the early 20's when he first came onto the scene in 2021 with that young & exciting Northern squad and looked like it too. Not sure if the profiles are being mixed or something.

This one is 22 years old and I believe he was on that tour to Australia. Looks like there is another Kashif Ali who is a batsmen that is playing in the ongoing QeA as well... so who knows.

Either way, looks like a bowler with some zip but if he truly is 30 already, then there's not much of a runway left for him.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Mohammad Suleman is a good player. his last 4 inning scores are 84, 112, 90 and 2*

He is still out there batting at 11 runs

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Kashif Ali has lost some zip compare to last season may be in real life he is 33/34 and hence the reason.

 

[Xoib]

Haider ali needs to be binned for good

 

[m.shah]

Lol Haider Ali lasted one ball .

Lol Haider Ali lasted one ball .

But as per some posters he was mistreated by PCB.

Please tell me its not Mohammad Hafeez (International)

LoL... fixed that post though. It was Kashif Ali and Khurram Shahzad

 

[BouncerGuy]

LOL at Haider ali.... another duck for him.

Not sure why is he even there. He does not deserve a place in shaheens.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Well struck 50 for Ali Zaryab though. He is looking solid.

Shaheens 132/4 atm

My goodness. He is gone as well now.

5 down

 

[Xoib]

Shaheens batting have been weakened a bit due to Aus tour selections in an ideal scenario Farhan, Haseebullah and Omer Yousuf would be part of the XI making them stronger

Mubaser is another one missing due to injury

The batting king up selected are FC level at best. Hopefully some u19 batsmen come through as the batting talent looks very bleak.

Whichever selector chose Sulaiman in this game needs a pat on the back. Just 11 FC games from a small centre (Hyderabad) absolutely zero hype and he is playing a potential match winning knock here

Yeah. much better than the likes of Haider ali or Hussain Talat... invest in these young guns instead of mis-fired bullets

Very poor game for Huraira

He should be batting at 4 he will be exposed horribly in international in the opening spot.

[Xoib]

Good comfortable win in the end . Khurram and Kashif set it up with Sulaiman and Zaryab finishing it well .

Hopefully in next games there are some changes Wasim needs to have a go for Sameen while Ahmed needs to replace Rameez in batting I think all incumbents will get another go Huraira needs a score to confirm his place for the South Africa tour though Zaryab has also increased his chances for a spare middle order slot

Shaheens Clinch Victory with Stellar Third-Wicket Stand

Rawalpindi, 14 November 2024:

A commanding 158-run partnership for the third wicket by Mohammad Suleman and Ali Zaryab steered Pakistan Shaheens to a convincing seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka 'A' on the final day at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

Suleman's innings ended at 86, while Zaryab remained not out on 83, guiding the Shaheens to the 222-run target in just 53 overs.

The match also highlighted the bowling prowess of Test fast bowler Khurram Shahzad, who, on the fourth day, quickly wrapped up the Sri Lankan innings for an unchanged overnight score of 364, securing five wickets for 70 runs, and accumulating nine for 102 in the match.

The partnership between Suleman and Zaryab was crucial after early setbacks saw Pakistan Shaheens at 32 for 2. Suleman's departure at 190 left 32 runs needed for victory, which Haider Ali quickly chased down with an aggressive 19 not out from just 14 balls.

Ali Zaryab's unbeaten 83 came off 125 balls, complementing his first innings score of 55. His performance earned him the Player of the Match award.

Khurram Shahzad's return from injury has been impressive, with match figures of 4-32 and 5-70, while Kashif Ali also shone with the ball, taking 5-31 and 2-79.

The teams will reconvene for the second and final four-day match at the same venue on November 18.

Match Summary:

Sri Lanka 'A': 115 (first innings) & 364 (second innings)
Pakistan Shaheens: 258 (first innings) & 222-3 (second innings)
Player of the Match: Ali Zaryab (Pakistan Shaheens)
