I feel bad for Saim Ayub, Muhammad Haris, Sufiyan Moqim, Mehran Mumtaz. They deserve to play for a better team.

It's not even about just Babar. It's just a garbage team. It has no balance, and I honestly don't know what they were thinking with their overseas picks.

Mitchell Owen kind of makes them competitive

They know they messed up in the draft. They have an all their eggs in one basket policy, and that’s to make Babar open.

These kind of howlers in the draft will happen naturally when your main playing strategy is flawed.

Multan Sultans have messed up too this season.

Considering the players available and the ones they picked...it feels like such a waste. TKC? Max Bryant? (whoever that is). Nahid Rana has potential but he's very untested in white-ball and not someone they can rely on. Not opening with Saim and Haris would also be a brainless decision.

Forget Saim and Harris

Not opening with Mitchell Owen and Babar opening instead with Saim….that’s what is being reported
 
Babar
Saim
Haris
TKC
Maaz?
Bryant
Linde
Talat
Ali
Nahid
Sufyeen

Squad is not well balanced . Have good spinners but seam bowlers/allrounders are questionable. :inti
 
1. Saim
2. Haris
3. Babar
4. TKC (no other choice)
5. Max Bryant
6. Abdul Samad
7. Linde
8. Ahmed Daniyal
9. Nahid Rana/Joseph
10. Arif Yaqoob
11. Ali Raza (E)

The best they can put out

Middle/lower order is very weak and missing a proper pace bowling A/R, but not their fault because corbin bosch ran off to the ipl

I'm going with this.

1. Haris (wk)
2. Saim / Maaz (e)
3. Babar (c)
4. Tom Cohler Β°
5. Samad
6. Najib Β° / Bryant Β°
7. Ahmed
8. Sufyan
9. Raza (e) / Joseph Β°
10. Rana Β°
11. Ali

Bosch is a huge miss. He was the perfect no. 7 and 5th bowler for them. They have named the Owens but I don't know how good he is in that role.

Didn't realise they ropped in Mitchell Owen

That guy hit a hundred in the BBL final as an opener

Probably should replace TKC with him at no. 4
 
Mitchell Owen is a solid pick. He is a 6'4 power hitter who can bowl some medium pace. Usually a middle order batter, but was moved to open by Hobart Hurricanes this past BBL season.

He must play.
 
Mitchell Owen had a very good BBL. But he remains untested in subcontinent. Possibly the only good overseas pick by PZ.
PZ always take extremely left field picks without much reason.
 
The inclusion of Linde and Owen has given them good middle order heft to add to their already formidable opening pair. The bowling might not look remarkable but Ali, Muqeem, Rana, Linde and Joseph is a solid lineup. I think much will depend on how their middle order of Talat, Samad Bryant/Owen fares.

I was surprised when they left Aamer Jamal.

I thought he was that perfect no. 7 batter and 5th bowler. They would've and he could've improved for seasons to come. These kind of pace bowling all rounder are hard to come by let alone a local one.

Local players, especially, those with potential and time on their side should be retained. Although Jamal's recent bowling form hasn't helped his cause. In retrospect Jamal might have been a better pick than Mehran/Yaqoob given how Corbin's exit has forced them to pick another spinner in Linde. I don't think retaining three spinners was wise in any case.
 
I forgot they signed George Linde. That's a good pick...probably an even better pick than Corbin Bosch. Linde has been in monster form for South Africa and MI Cape Town.
 
TKC bombed in the IPL. And he ain't getting picked by any team besides PZ. Could have gotten a far better player instead of him.
 
Maaz sadaqat is a good prospect. Give him chance in middle if top order is stacked. I think he's better option than Hussain talat since he can bowl left arm spin as well.

What’s Hussain Talat done wrong now?

They should be playing this lineup with Mitchell Owen taking tkc place at 4

Ahmed Daniyal is better than m. Ali

Same with Arif Yaqoob over Sufiyan

Babar Azam on Zalmi’s Team Spirit: It’s All About Unity and Energy

In a recent video, Peshawar Zalmi’s Babar Azam shared that the team has addressed the weaknesses from last season, strengthening their bowling and further boosting an already strong batting lineup.

He praised the foreign players for bringing the game-changing spark that Zalmi needed and emphasized the importance of utilizing local players smartly, saying the better the locals, the better the cricket.

Speaking about emerging players, Babar called them "product" and stressed the team's commitment to supporting and nurturing them. He also highlighted the experienced coaching staff’s role in passing on knowledge to the youngsters, describing the team's and dressing room's environment as friendly, united, and focused on growth.

Love it when these little wholesome videos come out when the team wins a game and not when they are all at sea.

The guy who they need to film is Mitchell Owen. He spoke positively and told everyone not to write them off just yet. He’s their inspirational player, not Babar.

He's their only player who's worth a damn and their mismanaging him beyond belief. Stupid babar.

Just have owens open, end of story. Why can't he bat at no 3? His twitter video reality is never manifesting in PSL 😭😭
 
Rana said:

At least give the guy a fair chance in his position!

He probably believes it's a joke league. Don't worry, Australia isn't stupid enough to drop owens based of him batting at no 7 in PSL due to babar's incompetence.

The only issue owens will face is that he will have to Duke it out in a fatal 4 way between short, mcfraser, and Konstas.

Most likely head and konstas will be preferred so ownes might face stiff competition from that end.

@gazza619 what do you think of this Australian Kachra batting at 7 whereas Pakistan beauty Babar opens?

Why would I care about Aussie player?

I follow Pakistan team and am only concerned at the talent pool available for Pakistan.

PSL is for Pakistan and local players should get more exposure.

We are all witness to you having issues with Micheal Bracewell for MS. You wanted to pin all the blame on him and Usman Khan.

Why can’t you just simply be honest and fair? What’s the point of picking foreign players in the league if they are not going to be utilised correctly for the team? It’s a simple matter of honesty. This is the PSL. It’s a mixture of foreign and local players. It’s not the National T20 where you only have national players. The dynamic of the tournament is dependent on the utilisation of the foreign players.

I can easily turn this around on you and ask you again whilst sticking to my original argument….

What exposure are the local bowlers of Pakistan getting when Bowling to Babar Azam in the powerplay and not to Mitchell Owen instead?

A bowler…”if I pitch it up or give width to Babar, he will drive me through the covers or run me down to 3rd man. This is my learning from this”

But if you bowl the same to a proper striker like Owen, he will deposit you into the stands and force you to reevaluate your plan. Because he won’t stop looking to maximise once he’s got you under the pump! So what fair exposure are the Pakistan players getting from bowling to below par T20 batsmen?!

I have issues with Bracewell because he is taking spot of a better Pakistani player. Therefore back to my original point I couldn’t care less about foreign players.

The main purpose of local league is to nurture and find local talent.

Well what if the opposition is playing overseas bowler who end up bowling mostly to Owen and get him out!. What happens to your theory then?

I do not give a Monkey’s ass about the performance of any foreign players in the PSL
 
PZ, MS, LQ all three franchises need total overhauls. It's pretty clear winning isn't their goal. They just want PR, fame, social media engagement and settling scores. They have such a vast management yet clueless team formation and picks. No change in tactics despite losing.
