Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Sharjeel Khan and Ahmed Shehzad - even Zeeshan Ashraf all have failed to impress in the PSL so far - worrying signs?

Incredibly harsh to have Babar in this list. He's got 78, 26, 13, 0 (poor guy was run out by Sharjeel), 70* and 38
I still think Babar and Sharjeel should open at WT20 with Haider at 3 -- Sharjeel will enjoy the tracks in Australia.
Haider is an opener but he has shown such a good range of shots that I will play kamran Akmal at 3 and Haider at 4.Incredibly harsh to have Babar in this list. He's got 78, 26, 13, 0 (poor guy was run out by Sharjeel), 70* and 38

I know it's not going to be a popular opinion, but given that we are short of options, and given that we are looking for a short-term solution only, Kamran Akmal is the way to go in my view.
I'm not saying he should keep wickets and yes, I appreciate he is an utter liability in the field too. However, he has performed consistently and I have no doubt that on current form, he is the best of the lot.
Forget Openers name any batsman which has done well..khushdil has been a flop so has iftikhar..rizwan cnt get in the team

Opening we don't have many choices, it has to be Babar and Sharjeel.
Kamran akmal is ur t20 opener who can be blistering at top but don’t play him as a WK. it’s a joke people suggesting sharjeel who has not even scored 20 runs in an innings !
Babar is someone who needs a fast scorer at other end like hales, otherwise he gets exposed in big games and big scoring games, he does not have power game himself unfortunately
If we are being fair, it should really be Kamran Akmal opening with Babar.
Haider Ali should come in at 3 or 4.
Sharjeel or Fakhar can play at 3 if they start performing but right now they have not showed that they deserve it.

Babar Actually likes bouncy pitches so Australia pitches are actually better for Babar .Big Gaps Easy timingThese are flat pitches not the same as austrlia conditions but similar conditions sharjeel needs one big innings atleast
Fakhar Zaman seems to be back in form!

Nope... False hope!!! Haider Ali should bat with Babar and open. Once again Haider showed he can bat.
babar , seriously?
i reckon we should try haider ali as an openner
You don’t select players based on dodgy psl bpl leagues if that was the criteria Hales & Dunk would be playing for there countrys.
Likes of aus ind eng don’t pay attention to these leagues.
Considering how well the guy has played since the second phase of the psl, ever since he started taking responsibility and opened the innings. The guy has been consistent throughout when opening
Good news for Pakistan both Sharjeel and Babar in good form
Sharjeel has his weaknesses but his hitting capabilities makes him a hot T20 entity.Don’t let this half-century gift wrapped by Lahore fool you.
Sharjeel is pathetic and this nonsense talk of selecting him for the WT20 needs to end.
Another dismal showing for Babar Azam today - 32 off 34 balls!
Have to say, Babar just seems disinterested. This is all too easy for him. With Imad in charge, he seems to be barely trying, but not in an under performing way. It just seems like he's bored. He's had the likes of Sharjeel and Hales blazing away at the other end. He hasn't really needed to go hard. Treating the whole PSL like a net session, he has quietly built up a gap at the top of the run scorers, albeit at a lowish strike rate. But still - he's averaging 49 again. The consistency is ridiculous.
He is just waiting for International cricket and probably Tests to return.
Hope you are right but not that great for the franchise as they want more from him.

Like it or not but he will make it to the Pakistan T20 squad and will demolish some bowling attacks at World stage.
I have seem him butcher some real quality bowlers so this assumption that he is a minnow basher is nothing but trash talk. A quick fire 30-40 by Sharjeel is good enough to brighten our chances at the WC.
