[PICTURE] Pakistan tour of Bangladesh (2026)

[Farabi]

Haseebullah has 9 centuries at a 45 average. Ghazi Ghauri has one fifty and averages 20. On what basis exactly was Haseebullah dropped while someone in management believes Ghazi is the better talent? Pure judgment?

Saad Masood has aone List A wicket after three games. What performance are we evaluating there?

Shamyl Hussain has one List A season.Maaz has two seasons. That is barely a sample.

Meanwhile the players who actually have 50+ List A games, years of performance, and are around 26 or 27+ are nowhere near the discussion.

And this is the cycle Pakistan keeps repeating.

In a system like ours where bias, connections, and “eye test” opinions dominate, data should not be optional. It should be the minimum requirement. Performance in at least 3 seasons should be non negotiable before selection.

clash of the TITANS !!!

Winner of this series will tell us, who would have done better in the t20 world cup.

Looks like they split up the tour into 3 parts.

Pakistan already played the T20 series last year. They are playing the ODI series now. They are scheduled to play the Test series in May.

Dhaka is much better to visit than Indian cities.

In Dhaka, people are friendlier, foods are much better, no hindu extremist group like bajrang dal, much less scammers, much less rapists etc.

As a matter of fact, whole of subcontinent are better places to visit than India.

What happens when you skip geography.

Apparently misbah has some issues with this guy... As per Ahmed Shahzad... This is pure injustice that Ghazai ghouri was selected who has nothing to show as far as performance is concerned.. Money talks i guess.

Akbar Ali is a must in ODI’s.

Jishan? No, still raw. Should get in t20s side soon.

To put this into context, Akbar Ali averages 28 in List A cricket, 31 in FC cricket and in his last 2 seasons of BPL he had 17/98 and 23/112 (average/strike rate) stats.

@khyberlion

Absolutely correct...the fact nobody is not understanding and it is very hard to comprehend for fans like us is that there is NO talent in our cricket wht so ever. That is why they keep recycling players and then try players who don't even deserve theor places. We all have our favourites who we want selecting etc but none of them are International talent.

India C team would easily beat our full team that is a fact.

@khyberlion

The funniest thing is that none of the names that you have mentioned pass the eye test.

Ghazi Ghori looks like an absolute clown while he is keeping or batting.
Saad Masood is an untested batter who can hit but his bowling is god awful.
Maaz has been struggling after his one good tournament.
Shamyl played 4 innings against England Lions and failed in 3. His captaincy is also atrocious.

Can these all perform? Maybe.
Do they have the sample size of quality & have delivered success? Absolutely not.

Pity no TEST matches .

Amazed to see exclusion of Kamran Ghulam. He is the best white ball middle order batsmen in Pakistan

One of the reasons why Pakistan team is in shambles is because they don't play top teams very often. Other than scoring brotherhood points I don't see any gain for Pakistan in this series cricketwise. Those swampy pitches in BD is basically anti-cricket, provides low scoring boring games, absolute hell for budding cricketers and players with natural flair, intent and ability.

Test matches are in May. Part of WTC.

They split up the tour into 3 parts (T20 series in 2025, ODI series now, and Test series in May).

Who will want to play these losers?

Sanghis are probably not aware there is something called Future Tour Programme (FTP).

They are a misinformed bunch.
