PCB appoint Aleem Dar, Aaqib Javed, Asad Shafiq, Azhar Ali and Hasan Cheema as voting members of Selection Committee

It was data was it not that lead to Rizwan opening and Fakhar at 4?


How has that worked out for Pakistan?? Where did I say data doesn’t matter at all.

Besides, you made the claim Hassan was part of 3 title wins for IU. That’s Absolutely incorrect! He was released last year, and before that IU were falling short on 3rd/4th position.

I ask you again, what development has Hassan Cheema done with IU for Pakistan cricket?

Shadab khan at 4??
Faheem Ashraf at 6??
Asif Ali the finisher (who you all love to remind me about to take digs at me)??
Azam Khan at 5???


What is Hassan Cheema’s significant contribution and how will that replicate in Pakistan cricket?
Last I checked he was managing IU not the Pakistan Cricket team. Therefore he is not responsible for how they perform for Pakistan. All these players performed well for IU. And the results speak for themselves. IU is the most successful PSL team. If you want to single out these players then you should single out others who play for Peshawar, Multan, Lahore, Karachi and Quetta too. Because those teams have produced just as many international-level failures.

You blaming data for Rizwan opening is also incorrect. That decision was made more because Rizwan with his low SR, high average and limited power game was only suited to play in one position.

So Data was used to destroy Pakistan cricket to somehow keep one guy in the XI?
 
I think you need to develop basic reading and comprehension skills. Because right now your brain is failing to compute basic English.
No I think you need to be very careful when selecting your words when submitting a bogus argument to support your views.

You clearly had no clue about Hassan Cheema’s full involvement and achievements with IU.

What are you trying to say now? Data wasn’t used to make Rizwan an opener? Be very careful with your response.
 
Former Pakistan cricketer, Basit Ali said on his YouTube channel:

"This is an absolutely surprising decision. It is surprising to me that Aleem Dar has been added to the selection committee. He was a great umpire and is a very good human but he doesn't deserve to be there."

"Not now, but in the coming days, voices will be raised. If you have kept an umpire in the selection committee, then please add a match referee too along with one person from the media."
 
Not sure what ALeem Dar is doing here. But as usual, I saw the name PCB so I am now fine with this because I can expect such decisions from PCB.

As always the PCB are fixated on names rather their ability to meet the meet and exceed prerequisites required for the role.

No I think this is very typical of you. Where you select some obscure person who you don't know, and start pandering an agenda about him.

But I'll just say this, you have to be remarkably dumb to say that data does not matter in cricket in this day and age. And your understanding of cricket is stuck 30 years in the past
 
Remember when you wanted the domestic cricket to be departmental, well it was brought back. So can you explain who is Moeez Ghani and why is he playing FC and List A ?
Why don’t you explain who Abdullah Khurram Niazi is and what is his relation to Misbah ul Haq (PTI’s first director of cricket)
 
You can do it for me and share it. Whoever he was, it was probably the right call by me anyways. Pakistan’s current T20 opener/keeper is crap
Right call? But you cant even remember the guy but you did ask him to replace Riz.You have all the knowledge of Naqvi on cricket but without the mafia connections🤣🤣🥰🥰
 
What's the name of the player? And in which season did he score that 50?
It was only a couple of seasons ago and the tournament was a local. It was something like Raza and he was playing for Rawalpindi. He will know exactly because he called for him to be picked for PK.

He was part of the selection committee after the 2003 ODI Cricket headed by Aamir Sohail where they decided to do away with Wasim, Waqar, Saeed Anwar, Saqlain etc.

Now Aqib made the call to bench Babar, Shaheen, Naseem etc.

He has the reputation of being his own man and someone who stands by his decisions. He is owning this decision to bench Babar and has assured the PCB chairman he will go on the front foot to defend this decision.

There's one Raza ul Mustafa but his highest t20 score is 42

That's him. Me and old Rana had "real debate". Most of which like, most of the conversations we have gets deleted. He and few others wanted that guy to replace Riz because he scored 42. Yes you read right.🤣🤣 This is the level of knowledge of these posters

@Rana Did you really support such player?
 
Aqib Javed is the one who wanted 3 spinners and a dry track. Guaranteed a PAK win if that happened.

The result will be all on him :inti

That was a much easier decision given the two W’s and Anwar were finished. Akhtar was dropped but came back soon after as the spearhead. Also if I recall correctly we played Zimbabwe or something after the WC so it was a good time to try out new players and Malik, Hafeez etc emerged because of that.

I like the fact that he’s on the front foot, but there is a dearth of talent this time around so let’s see how long they keep Babar out of the team.
 
From the land of fast bowlers to the era of Mr. Yourine not opting for any pacer this came way too early.
 
The new selection committee has done well so far. Dropping Babar and Shaheen were necessary.

But, selecting 3 spinners was a bit odd.
 
Aleem Dar? Really? Lol.

I don't think this is justice to our cricket. We should be having Malik Riaz, Mian Mansha, Sheikh Rasheed, Rana Sanaullah as our selectors.
Aleem dar is a good addition , he has an eye for talent. He is the one once said Fakhar zaman is a good batsman and I don’t see him being troubled by spin or pace after officiated in a national one day cup , this was like in 2015 if I rmb correctly and the rest is history. Pakistans only flamboyant opener in LOIs with proven track record in the last decade.
 
Firstly congrats to the new selection committee for dropping Babar , shaheen and Naseem.

Selecting KG , three experienced FC spinners and going for a used turning track.

Tmw after Pakistan spin England batters more accolades to come towards the selection committee I guess.
 
It's concerning that after much discussion, they concluded that no specialist pacer was necessary and went with just one all-rounder. That decision is a huge blunder.
