Pakistan U-19 (281/7) clinch victory over India U-19 (238) by 43 runs in Group A encounter of the ACC U-19 Asia Cup 2024

Shahzaib has really improved since the last world cup, he should be sent to Aus to play some club cricket.

Do you think he is U19. My instinct tells me he is around 22. Usman looks genuinely young,Raza looks around 18 and the other tall fast bowler looks to be around 19/20. We need these guys to be genuinely around the 19 mark so that we don't invest heavily in their development and find out they are fakes

Well done young lads, don't know why they are unable to replicate the same at International levels but here they have been dominating now for a while

I think the reason is clearer than we may think. Young talent and enthusiasm is great. There is no denying that. But in International Cricket the standard is raised higher. That's where the self improvement journey begins. It is up to the individual player mostly to polish and improve their fitness, skill, mentality, tactics, game awareness and standard they want to set for themselves.

In India for past two decades. What have they done well is foster an environment that allows their young players to improve everything that I have mentioned on a set path. Stability and finances also helps of course.

19 or 21 it doesn’t matter the important thing is that he is actually improving so it will he good idea that he play on SENA and he might just learn how to play on bouncy surfaces.

Both Azan and Shahzeb needs to play in alien conditions and need to learn aggressive strokes , PCB can arrange agreement with CA to echange 5 players every season to play in quaid trophy and grade II cricket of Aus.

This needs to be done when they are between 16-19. Send them for 2 full seasons in OZ and Eng.

At their current age they should be playing A matches in prepartion for their international debuts.

For someone like Ali Raza, he should be playing A matches and first class matches.

I think it matters because he should be playing FC and not playing against 17yr old Inds. The whole point of U19 cricket is to discover talent, well he was discovered in the U19.
