Best XI

1. Rizwan (WK)
2. Shahzaib (E)
3. Yasir
4. Mitchell *
5. Billings *
6. Ghulam
7. Forrester *
8. Rishad *
9. Naseem
10. Amir
11. Zaman
 
There is nothing Pindi in this squad. No fire or paindu pana. All the pathans got together and made up a team. Added 4 goras just for the sake of it.

This team looks like a Peshawar team. Rizwan added his friends, and his staff was made up of all the PZ molvi group.

Don’t like their bald owner

A guy who ropes in Rashid Latif for whatever reason isn’t a guy who can be trusted.
 
The squad is seeemingly much of a muchness. As always, I’m interested in which new young players emerge from this lot. Can anybody speak to how good Abdullah Fazal is as a bat?

And Fawad Ali, did he stand out?
 
best signings, mitchell, amir, rishad, zaman, thats a strong core of players but batting is light. worst part is rizwan being captain and lack of power hitters. i really wanted to support a pindi team, but apart form amir i dont even see many pindiwalas. someone like zeeshan malik, would have been cheap, and would have at least had some pindi flavour to the team.

i wanted to support the pindi team, but this team just looks boring.
 
Wait. Is their whole name just Rawalpindi. Nothing at the end?

How boring if the case. Especially since whatever you can think about Multan Sultans, I thought the name was rather good, it rhymed 😄.

They just bought the team two days earlier.
Will probably work on their kits and team name in the coming weeks.
 
Strong bowling attack.
Astute captain, but Rizwan's lack of power hitting will hurt them in the powerplays.

Rizwan should come as the last recognised batsman like Sarfraz used to do and pack top order with more aggressive players for them to go ahead
 
Their best XI then would be;

1. Rizwan (WK)
2. McGurk *
3. Shahzaib (E)
4. Mitchell *
5. Billings *
6. Ghulam
7. Ammad
8. Rishad *
9. Naseem
10. Amir
11. Zaman

They lack 6th bowler if Ghulam isn't considered one

Don’t think the guy adds any value coaching or mentorship wise

Compromised selector too.

Abey, who else will make the team prays on time. If the molvi groups coach is not a molvi than thats hypocrisy.

I think they are deliberately doing this because they tried to spread a fake narrative against Hesson earlier that he removed Rizwan because of the over-Islamic culture he was trying to establish in the team.

Who made this claim? It was Rashid Latif wasn’t it? Is it no coincidence that Rashid Latif was picking the team with Rizwan at the draft? Then they bring in at least 3-4 other guys who are quite strongly religious as a part of their set up

Rashid (he shows off his forehead marks)
Rizwan
Inzimam
Abdul Rehman
Rishad Hossein

So the aim is to make that kind of culture and promote Rizwan as the leader who can lead with the culture that is apparently not in line with the culture Hesson wants to establish

Rashid is an idiot and does more damage to pakistan cricket. But i have respext for abdul rehman. He worked his way up to the position. He was just a school teacher. Peshawar cricket rose because of him

He’s an average coach who can work with a certain set of domestic players

As for RL, as I said…any person who wants to hire his services for whatever is questionable. This Bald owner at Pindi doesn’t seem to be on the right track

None of the three new owners are on track. The Sialkot guys are focussed on looking like Australia and bringing Australians, they might copy their kits color and go for australians sponsors. Hyderabad walay uncle is suffering from a mid life crises and an identity crises. Meanwhile pindi has been taken over by mullah brigade.

They wont be able to pay the renewal fees and the team will switch hands
 
Samin Rana:

"I regret not picking Daryl Mitchell. Mitchell messaged me at night saying one team was offering him 3 lakh dollars. I rejected it because I wanted to play for Lahore. I told him I can only go up to 230 or 240, don’t take a financial loss for yourself. He said no, I will take the risk, and even if I have to play for Lahore for less money, I will still play."

--------------

This is important information (if true)

Mitchell only wanted to play for LQ. Now he’s been signed up by probably the most boring guys in the league


I have a strong feeling he’s going to pull out before the tournament.

Fawad Ali was super fast but seemed inexperienced. Almost was clocking 90 miles and above but played for a very brief moment.
 
Paid a lot for Naseem....didn't try to sign a proper t20 batsman likely they will struggle as Lahore Quetta and Islamabad look like solid contenders for playoff qualification.
