Mohammad Haris (wk)

Imad Wasim (c)

Amir Jamal

Mohammad Amir

Arshad Iqbal

Abrar Ahmed

[Babeikh]

That 'fans' XI would lose to Netherlands and wouldn't qualify for world cup actually.

Rubbish thread

Pakistan's fan XI isn't everyone's playing 11 nor is pakistan worldcup squad

 

[CerebralPatriot]

A better Pakistan's fans Xi would be:

Shajreel Khan
Saim Ayub
Saud Shakeel
Omair Bin Yusuf
Sarfraz Ahmed (C) (WK)
Azam Khan
Danish Aziz
Imad Wasim
Mohammad Amir
Mir Hamza
Abrar Ahmed

This team would not just wipe the floor with our world cup squad but would be proper tournament favourites for the world cup

I would be happy with this squad even if we lose every game but some of these players are in a great form right now

I know which team I’d back to win a 5 match series.

One out of prime opener. Another young opener who is just starting to get experience of t20 league cricket, doing very well. Is the one for the future for longer formats.

Tayyab is good. But I would play him at no. 4 or 5. Haris is the best middle order batter subject to his fitness of course.

Not sold on Umar Akmal. It has been years since he has lit the stage. He can comeback if he performs at domestic, just like everyone else.

Haris at no. 6 is dependent upon situation as his innings building game is not suited for 50 overs yet. His risk factor in game is too high. So you're potentially looking at from 100-3 to 110-5 in a flash. Given that Umar and Harris can get out very immaturely.

Imad can play at no. 5 or 6. I would drop Umar and play Imad at 5. Harris can come at 7 or opener in place of Sharjeel.

Rest of the bowling is decent.

I would declare Pakistan XI favorites than this Fans XI. Even after the changes I've made above.

Be humble

We have Netherlands in a couple of weeks time.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The delusions that fans XI has world class talent that is being stopped from Pakistan winning the World Cup is frankly humiliating.

We dont have any 11 alternate outer space players that can change our fortune and win us the World Cup.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Im a fan. I don't endorse this fans XI.

Its more like a Babar Haters XI

then I saw this team and thanked the Lord that fans don't get to select teams!


Anyone in 2023 mentioning a team with Sharjeel Khan, Umar Akmal, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Mohammad Amir or Azam Khan should automatically result in losing all posting privileges. I had actual shivers at the thought of Pakistan putting out a team in international competition with these players in the team!

Don't worry the world cup will vindicate us

[RyanRyan10]

3) Babar Azam
4) Saud Shakeel (No one else should het no 4 besides him)
5) Tayyab Tahir
6) Haris
7) Imad Waseem/ Usama mir
8) Abrar (Can tonk and slog sweep)
9) Naseem( If injured then ihsanullah, if ihsanullah is injured then arshad iqbal, he can swing well early on)
10) Rauf
11) Shaheen

Sorry one mistake, replace arshad iqbal for amir.

Who is Haris Sohail ?? The guy who can't run , can't bat and is a smoker, always unfit.

 

[moghul]

My 11

Abdullah
Imam
Babar
Rizwan
Fakhar
Chacha
Imad
Shaheen
Amir
Rauf
Abrar

Looks a bit weak in batting , but that's reality , we don't have many Bradman or Richards in domestic cricket.

Other in the squad
12-Sarfraz ( never been my favorite , by do respect the current form of a player )
13-Wasim Jr
14-Osama
15-Saud.

 

[shamaan]

Fans xi will loose atleast 4 games out of 5.

I hope this thread will remain active as long as Pak cricket runs.
