Disgusting to miss players who hv performed . M. Arif and Zaid Khan were two best batsmen, who hv been deprived of opportunity.
Whereas zaid Alam, Abdullah Shafiq r no where near top 20 batsmen but still has been selected.
pathetic selection

I think the selection is fairly on merits, except for a few names. I also think you are confusing zaid Alam with Zaid Khan because Zaid Alam have performed exceedingly well in the under19 one day tournament.

Will be keeping a close eye on Shaheen Shah's performance as well as Rohail Nazir
 
Muhammad Mohsin Khan and Abdullah Shafiq didn’t perform this year but last year they did well, so I’m assuming they seen something in them.

Is Hassan Khan the same guy who played for Quetta Gladiators and was part of the under 19 squad for the last World Cup? If he is I don’t know why he’s selected because didn’t play in this years competition.

Other then that the squad looks pretty good

Yes it is that Hasan Khan. He's been playing in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
 
Don't know much about the squad apart from Shaheen Afridi, looking forward to his performance.

Hopefully there are powerful strikers of the ball among this squad. We seriously lack in this department.
 
Ghulam Mudassar, Sameen Gul & Hasan Mohsin not included, I guess they are aiming to try out new players before World Cup.
 
The hard work of Haider Ali paid of. I remember watching a news report on him. He used to work in a dhaba to keep himself and his family afloat and dedicated the rest of his time to cricket. I sincerely hope that he perform well at the under 19 level.
 
Checked few numbers - team is actually selected on merit. May be 1/2 border line calls (It's impossible to rate young players after top few, also few players might have missed for dubious age) but overall selectors were honest. Only 2 names I found stats doesn't support - (Abdullah Shafiq & Mohsin Khan), but rest are on merit.

Apart from Nazir & Afridi, any clue on Ashar Qureshi, Taha Khan & Umair Yousuf?

I am trying to find something for our players, but BCB data base isn't that rich like PCB one and now I don't have much contact there. But, our team should be very good as well - there is a kid Afif, might play in 2019 WC.

Umair Yousaf is a opening batsmen, there’s couple of videos on YouTube of his batting.

Asher Qureshi is a leg spinning all rounder and Taha Khan is also a spin all rounder,

Musa Khan, Shaheen Shah, Muhammad Ali and Munir Riaz are all fast bowlers.

Zaid Alam, Hammad Khan, Saad Khan and Hassan Khan are spin bowling all rounders as well.
 
It gonna be relatively sticky here so expect pacers (with good seam positions) to make it go corners. All matches in Kinara Oval I guess........

Pakistan should win this based on squad selected!! Inshallah!!
 
Knew Taha Khan personally , his full name is Taha Arsalan (son of our family friends) he is turning 20 in few months time (real age)sla bowling allrounder and umair yousuf is his friend both play for the same club which ghulam mudassir played

No confusion bro, Zaid Khan z from Pindi, he z an aggressive opener , scored 5 fifties in 9. Innings wid decent strike rate . He has big hits in his repertoire.
 
Angrez Pakistani said:
Secondly, the selection was based on one day performances and justifiably so since it’s a one day tournament.

Talking abt 50 over games' acumen, M. Arif was stand out performer in terms of scores , strike rate and hiring zone being an opener in 3,day games. These attributes suggest strong case for limited overs potential.

It’s only a 16 member squad and Arif was at number 35 in terms of the batsmen with best averages in the one day regional tournament.
 
im interested in seeing some middle order batsmen and fast bowling all rounders. Also happy to be surprised by somebody in all departments. Who do ppers think are the ones to watch out for here other than Afridi?

They have to play out of their skins to beat our boys who had won all last three editions and recenlty whitewashed England in England!

Are you sure he’s turning 20? If he is then that would be a real shame, I was hoping that this batch of players were indeed there listed age.

I won't make any claims here but I guess that can only be answered on 21st Nov 2017. Bookmark this and make sure you log onto PP, regardless of result.

India is taking a completely new team for this tournament from the one that beat England in England. Rahul Dravid wants to try out all the bench strength and give opportunity to everyone. Which is sensible in the long run but might affect the immediate tournament winning goal
 
Some interesting names in this squad. Looking forward to this tournament.
 
I was expecting a lot from Rohail seeing his stats, but he left me overwhelmed after watching him in Sydney. I don't want to lament him a failure or someone that will never be able to represent Pakistan but he did look very hack-ish.

Didn't he top score in the second game?

He has a lot of work to do though.

Isn’t he 16 lol ? Can’t judge that early.
 
The guy Haider Ali in the squad was a waiter in a small hotel and I think still is. His family moved to Karachi from Charsadda in 2011 due to security issues. Used to work from 6 pm to 2 am as waiter then in Morning school and after that club.

What a great story.

Inzi son was top scorer for his team in pentangular under 19 cup. Don't understand the hate.

As opener, his 4 scores of the tournament are

0 (1)
25 (28)
6 (12)
12 (10)

Average 10.75@ SR of 85 as T20 opener.

That 25 was batting first without scoreboard pressure, which allowed him the comfort of consuming 28 balls for 25 in power play. Kid doesn't bowl, doesn't keep, looks like doesn't bat much either - so his biggest strength has to be his father's credit.

Yes because four matches are enough to write off a player.

Don't post without knowing the context. This discussion isn't based on 4 scores, neither the discussion topic is on how good or bad he is.

Can be a decent player, I haven't seen but based on his U19 Regional tournament scores in both format, he doesn't merit selection among top 35 young batsman of the Country, which he is proving through his scores.

I am well aware of the context. You are accusing Inzi of nepotism on the basis of these scores. :facepalm:
 
MMHS said:
No you are not aware - these 4 scores are just the outcome. This has nothing to do with what [MENTION=383]ataullah[/MENTION] mentioned I responded.

Educate yourself before your next post on this

Perhaps you should educate yourself.

I quite clearly said you are using these scores as a basis to further your vendetta against Inzi by accusing of nepotism. That is exactly what you are doing.

Inzi is one of the most loyalist person, might not be dishonest, but he has his own group. I might have lot vendetta against him for staling my spot in PAK team, but still I won't have written anything against unless I can relate that with my post.

Anyway, it's your choice to be fooling around, hardly bothers me. I was responding [MENTION=383]ataullah[/MENTION] and he accepted, rest are immaterial. I have seen enough not to judge a batsman on 4 scores, but the issue wasn't that - Umair Yousuf has scored 66 in 4 innings, no one will question if his selection was dubious or not, perhaps that can explain.

At least you should have read Posts 43 to 46 in this thread, before joining the conversation.

Now you won't get away with this. For no reason you tried to get into something I don't like and now trying to escape shifting goal post.

First and this time be very careful when you respond - I never said in this post that Inzi picked his son, but his father being the CS was his best asset, based on the scores of this tournament and the 2 tournaments that were used to scout players.

Your first response of my post was
"Yes because four matches are enough to write off a player" - that's stupid you know, no one is writing off the player, neither the poster initiated the discussion. His post was

Inzi son was top scorer for his team in pentangular under 19 cup. Don't understand the hate.
http://www.pcb.com.pk/pentangular-u1...tch/30610.html


And the source of this post was the link I posted, which never tells how good a player this kid is - the arguments was if his selection merits or not in a tournament supposed to be for top 75 players in country (30-35 specialist batsman). And, this is draft selection - ideally top players should be picked regardless of which region they represent. That accusation (by some journalist) was valid that time because of IUH's scores in U19 3 day and OD matches - that that allegation is only reiterated further because of the kids performance in Pentangular.

Here, no one is judging how good he is or can be based on 4 innings - that little sense most poster do posses in PP.

I wish you do sensible things and don't bother to out smart people you can't handle.

Yes, like your logic of 4 innings to write off a U19 player - you indeed have shown your capability. Keep posting, it'll be fun on Saturday......

You always have to have the last word don't you?

I have already said the conversation is over. I appreciate your ego is hurting but frankly I don't care.

It might be "fun" for you to waste your time, but I actually have a life to live. This is my last post on the matter.

Last word always will be your if you end it that way. Your estimation of judging posters has to improve lot, lot better if you wish to end with last words, after starting the conversation wrong way and then try to escape after failing to shift goal post with a last word like this -

Give you are incapable of responding to logical argument I shall do the sensible thing and bring this conversation to an end.


I am a bit upset you know, for failing to make an "impression" for you, as it looks. There was no need for this you know - post no. 64 was enough escape route for you and quite a dignified one, I don't carry baggage.

Coming to the post - the kid can be next Inzi, and I say again I haven't seen him. But, his scores in 3 tournaments doesn't make his selection on merit - that was the whole point, and you had no reason to put a twist in that, still I gave you enough chance for the last words from you, sadly you didn't act smart.

Any way, I know whose ego has got a tight slap, so no issues - it happens when someone tries to act smart and get dragged in to his place. Enjoy your life .........
