Thankyou, and i think half of them are against C/D teams of those countries. And even if ignore that, 6 motms in such a long career is an embarrassing number and a testament to the ATG STAT PADDER. I also found out that he has only ONE motm in ICC tournies :yk3

His best innings in the format was basically against New Zealand in 2019 WC.

It was against full strength New Zealand side too. The side that thrashed India and tied the Final.

Yeah, and i remember how Pakistan was supposed to win under a certain amount of overs to qualify under NRR. But King Babar was jumping up and down on his milestone and finally being able to win a MOTM.
 
Legend Faheem makes a come back again.

The tournament is played in Pakistan and the host only selects one proper spinner. Pakistan does not need all of Rauf, Hasnain and Naseem to partner Shaheen.

Another all rounder in place of Rauf and a proper spinner in place of Hasnain/Naseem should’ve been selected.
 
Almost every ICC tourney, some random or stupid selection is made

Faheem Ashraf had no business to be selected and will be of new use, could have easily gone with Aamer Jamal, Abbas Afridi or heck even in Jahandad Khan, in a perfect world, Wasim Jnr should have been selected, but had jamal, abbas afridi or jahandad been selected you can understand, but Faheem Ashraf was just out of the blue no where.

Usman Khan should have not been selected, but you can see or understand maybe why, he is has been around the set-up, can be a back up wicket keeper and even open (however that being said there is soo many better options)

Khushdil Shah, is another strange one, but I can see why they selected him, but felt Irfan Khan Niazi has been hard done

Ideally the following players should have been selected rather than faheem, usman khan and khushdil

If you want an all-arounder (Aamer Jamal or Abbas Afridi) again in perfect world Wasim Jnr, but if any of these 3 where selected I would be okay with it. I think rather than Faheem, A spinner would have been great either Sufiyan Muqeem or Faisal Akram

In regards to Usman Khan - could have been replaced with the following (Shan Masood, Imam Ul haq, or even try Huraira) all 3 are better than Usman Khan if they has been selected, I think Omair Bin Yusuf can be ideal in ODI opening slot as well

For Khushdil- Irfan Khan Niazi should have been given the long rope, he is not going to set the world on fire, but I think he was doing alright.

Regardless hopefully when tourney start the PCB can select the right 11 for each match.
 
3 pacers and a spinner with part timer to bowl 10 overs, which means batters have no margin for error.

Abbas is not slow. He can bowl around 140 click and has a great slower ones also and he can also bat a bit.. But faheem??? HOW??? WHY???

With Abbas , Mohd Abbas comes in mind, but if you're talking about Abbas Afridi, yes, he is a good cricketer and should be i the team.
 
Sikandar Bakht ex-player laments selection of Usman Khan & Faheem Ashraf, pleads to Mohsin Naqvi to dismantle FC cricket.

Also labels selectors as Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq & Aleem dar dummy.

Salman Butt, while talking on his YouTube channel:

"It’s quite difficult to play with four fast bowlers in Asian conditions because if one of them has a bad day, it will be problematic. In the past, Pakistan fielded four fast bowlers, such as Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, Abdul Razzaq, and Azhar Mahmood, and all of them were capable batters as well."

"Yes, it's all about merit. That's why I'm saying, now it's just a gut feeling. If it works out, we’ll say, 'See, our gut feeling was right.' But if it doesn't, then the answer will be difficult, and the reality will be tough. God forbid, if it doesn’t work out, let’s hope it does, insha'Allah."

"Also, another point is that the selector said ‘horses for courses’ – you look at the situation, and you decide accordingly. If someone hasn't made their debut, how do you know they’re suited for the course? How do you know a player who is debuting, how he’ll perform? It's all about anticipation, selecting players based on what you predict will happen. For instance, four fast bowlers might be suitable. But if you add a bowling all-rounder, you get five. But we don’t know yet how the pitch will behave. We’ll only know once the match starts. We can’t say in advance."

"They were asking about which batter should have been included. I think it’s a good question, but in ODI cricket, Babar is the bind between the upper and middle orders. He's got that flexibility. He’s a key player in both positions. But you’re referring to players like Sachin Tendulkar, who moved between positions mid-career. You need to consider that he had extensive experience, with strong backups around him. And here, you’ve taken your best player and placed him against the new ball with a mix of players making a comeback and others yet to debut. That’s a lot of responsibility."

"The question is, if the top order isn't able to get a solid start, who can finish well? We only have a handful of players who can do that in the middle order. I don’t see the kind of star value we used to in our players. Winning teams have star players – it’s the effort in winning that makes them stars. Take the example of Noman and Sajid; they became stars after their match-winning performances in the series. But it's not just about being consistent in domestic cricket – it's about delivering in key matches."

"And why did players like Shan Masood get overlooked? It’s because his form wasn’t as good recently. If he had performed better, maybe he would have been selected. But right now, the competition is stiff."

"As for players like Haider Ali, I think he has immense potential, but his technique needs improvement. He started focusing on big hitting, but that’s not always sustainable. Players need to minimize risk to maximize performance. So, it’s not about hitting a lot of boundaries or big shots, but about consistently performing with minimal risk. That's what makes a player great."

So is Misbah the big evil, twisting and plotting behind the scenes, Rauf has usually talked sense in the past

Rashid Latif on TV , criticized team selection for CT specially the omission of Sufyan Muqeem and Irfan. Also surprised that BPL is the barometer of team selection.
 
Pakistan is missing 1 spinner. Faheem's selection has been controversial. Khushdil was brought back on the basis of BPL (A PATHETIC LEAGUE).

If true than thats good news, however, one of Imam or Shan, should make room for Irfan Khan Niazi or another pace all arounder but ideally Irfan Khan Niazi

I will say that only one of Imam or Shan should get in and either Khushdil should be left as no. 7 all rounder or Pakistan bring in some other all rounder. They will still need a no. 7 type player you can bat and bowl in most games.

Relying on Salman to bowl all 10 overs is very risky.
 
Yeah let’s weaken a significantly week white ball squad for flat decks by adding Shan, Imam and Sufyan instead of Faheem, Usman and Khushdil.

Chawwal log!

Pointing did praise rizwan as a batter though. The thing about pointing is that as soon as he retired he did his ipl stint, he became a completly changed person.

Their was a time where he refused to acknowledge anyone besides Australia. He was basically a more aggressive version of pat Cummins, since Cummins in every interview only praises Australia and outright mocks other teams, stating that he has no qualms about making an entire 1B nation cry and leave the stadium.

Pointing use to do that as well but unlike Cummins, he was very aggressive on the field, a proper mix of konstas and Cummins.

After retirement he just praises everybody now.

If you asked him about his opinions related to USA cricketers he would say I love watching this guy who averages 10 bat.

Even in this video, they haven’t said anything credible about the PCB considering changes. In fact they categorically ruled about Shan and Imam….saying Imam has disciplinary issues and Shan out of favour due to a long time out from one day
 
I hope Pakistan experiments in the tri series rather then trying to be competitive and win at all costs with a rubbish playing 11. They have alot of unanswered questions that need solving. For starters

1) Who's opening? Usman, Babar or Saud? Use the tri series to determine the best option.

2) Where does Kamran play? So far in odi his best performances have come at 3, so does babar open and KG at 3, ir is KG going to be a no 5?

3) What exactly is faheem's role? And will he even get a game?

4) Tayyab or khushdil? Who's playing.

Saud should bat at 3 and Kamran at 5 and Khushdil at 6.
 
As per reports:
The PCB is facing criticism over its ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squad selection, announced on January 31. Critics are questioning the inclusion of Faheem Ashraf and Khushdil Shah due to their poor international records. Concerns have also been raised about the squad's composition, with only one specialist opener and a single frontline spinner. Despite claims of political pressure, the selection committee insists players were chosen on merit. The final squad must be confirmed by February 11.

Let's see what will be done

^^ This was a pathetic squad.

Our 2025 squad is better them 2023. Just admit that Rizwan had full control and selected garbage cause captain clueless has no idea about uae conditons nor does he know how to navigate flat tracks.

Even major who fan boys misbah and rizwan quit a bit admitted rizwan fumbled the bag in this one.

If someone who idolises someone still highlights a flaw then you know full well their telling the truth this time around.

Pakistan should pick the best squad available in the history of Pakistan cricket. All squads besides their’s should be heavily hampered with injuries and unavailability

But Major is overestimating Rizwan’s say here.

It’s Aqib and his bag holders that are making the squad and strategy. Rizwan happens to be the captain because he’s the only one likely to play all games in their eyes.

Pakistan has not selected a good squad since Younis Khan era.

The closest squad we got to perfection after that was during sarfi's era primarily his t20 run. That squad was perfect. But his test squad was pathetic and odi squad still had to deal with imam ul haq due to inzi being stubborn at the time.

For 2023, Saim could have easily been drafted in early and could have been given the NZ series to prepare + Nepal game for confidence and he and fakhar could have opened.

Rizwan's crying antics could have been avoided and he should have remained at no 5 and 6 and saud should have been given all games at no 4.

Chacha, Shadab, Nawaz, Usama mir, Hasan ali could have all been discarded. Just a total waste. Tayyab could have replaced Chacha,

I dont like agha, but agha > Shadab ig,

Nawaz could have been replaced by Imad wasim who clearly stated he was ready to play,

Hasan Ali could have been replaced by Amir who said the same thing.

Usama Mir could have easily been replaced by sajid or noman who would fancy their chances on Indian soil.

Total waste of a 2023 squad. And this 2025 squad is a waste cause rizwan and aqib just couldn't agree. Maybe hornswoggle should have kept his mouth shut and let aqib do the selecting for him.

Just letting you know, Rizwan literally has the easiest chance to win a ct.

This CT is pathetic and if he loses, Then shame on him.

Every side is injured and exhausted from a test overload.

Bumrah is 100% out and max he may get to play a final if India reaches their. Aus has lost Marsh, Cummins and Hazlewood, sa has lost some big guns, NZ bowling looks paper thin.

Their biggest worry is England since even though their not in the best of form, they have a full strength team and if they click ots game over for the opposition.

But knowing Pakistan, I wouldn't be surprised if they fumble the bag vs Aus and India.

Putting up an image of leadership.

It’s clear Pakistan Cricket Board doesn’t trust this player group. They seem compelled to include them fuse to contractual reasons and external pressures, but they will not trust them like they did With Babar in 2023. PCB are not stupid, they know Rizwan isn’t as straightforward as he may portray himself as.
 
Aaqib Javed, while addressing the media:

The importance of center pitch for batting and bowling:

"The center pitch provides a better feel for the game, especially for bowlers and batters, as it offers a real test. Batting and bowling on the center pitch is more advantageous compared to practice nets."

Home advantage and team balance:

"Playing at home provides an advantage. We have one specialist spinner and the playing conditions are different compared to abroad. We need to ensure a balanced approach for the team, considering player availability and potential injuries. Our home conditions support a singular spin option, as we have a solid squad overall. We also keep in mind that we can replace players quickly if any injury arises. Our focus is on building a balanced team of specialists."

Flexibility in squad selection:

"Changes are possible, especially if there are any injuries or changes in player form. The final squad can still be adjusted accordingly."

Preparation for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:

"The conditions are crucial for preparation. We’re focused on improving batting strategies and preparing for tough teams like New Zealand, India, and Bangladesh, with an emphasis on building a balanced squad for the Champions Trophy. The shift in the format has made 200+ scores more common. We have the necessary tools to achieve 300+, given the current conditions and improvements in batting strategies. This tri-nation series is key for preparation. The pitch conditions and the upcoming challenges provide a great opportunity for the team to solidify its strategies and fine-tune for the Champions Trophy."

Balancing squad with pace and spin options:

"We look at the balance in the squad, ensuring that we have a mix of pace and spin options. Injuries like Saim Ayub’s affected our selections, but we adapt by bringing in players like Faheem Ashraf and Khushdil Shah when necessary."

Players Selection:

"Players like Faheem Ashraf and Khushdil Shah have been included as they bring the right balance. The concern is not as much about the break but how well the players adapt and perform when they come in. It’s important to remain confident in our approach. Every team faces criticism. The goal is to have a team that can adapt to conditions and provide the best balance between batting and bowling. We made decisions based on the conditions. Some players are more effective in subcontinental conditions, and we adapt our selections accordingly. For example, Khushdil Shah was included as he was a good fit for our needs."

Strategic inclusion of a second wicketkeeper:

"The choice to include a second wicketkeeper was strategic. We have a specific balance in mind, and the inclusion of Usman Khan was part of that plan. Every decision is made based on the team’s needs."

Guy played one ODI that too after Abrar was rested because the series was done. He was obliterated by a seasoned pro like Miller in one of the T20is and then he was taken to the cleaners in his first spell by SA on debut. He doesn’t have enough game time or rhythm to be trusted in a big tournament as of yet.

But he still has to start posting these cringe social media posts cryptically hinting towards his exclusion, and then you have choocha’s here who keep harping on and on about not picking him being some kind of war crime level injustice.

In this post alone, what exactly is he posing for? A cup of tea? Who is he looking at in the cafe? What a weird guy!

Just watched aqib press conference today he made really good points hilighting the importance of number 7 who can bowl spin he explained his points wonderfully i think its the right squad picked by aqib.
 
So after Aqib explanation team may be

Fakhar
Rizwan
Babar
KG
TT
Agha
Faheem
SSA
Naseem
Rauf
Abrar
------------

Pitches will be more on flat side with scores of 300+ in routine

Tayyab and Irfan should have been preferred over Usman etc. These guys were traveling with the team for months. I think sufiyan deserved a spot as well but the things are too messy atm... Pakistan batting is already pretty okaish..
 
Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan, while talking to the local sports media, said he is not in favor of changing Pakistan's ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squad:

"No, I don't think there is a need for it. This has happened before as well. The team was leaving for the World Cup, and I think Azam Khan was dropped from the squad. Then, there were a lot of complaints, like, 'What is the players' fault in this?' If the players have been selected in the squad, how is it their fault?"

"You should hold the selectors accountable, talk to your captain, because it's obvious that when this squad was selected for the Champions Trophy, the selectors, coaches, and captain must have been involved. So, I think this trend needs to change, where a couple of players are added to the squad, and then the squad is changed again just because former players and the media create pressure, leading to players being dropped. I don't think this happens anywhere else in the world."

"Now that the squad has been announced, and it seems like there are some surprises in it, we must remember that these are your own players. They have been in and out of the team before. The focus now should be on finding solutions. If we talk about solutions, I think it's better because, in the past, when we did a post-mortem, players were under pressure and complained that they didn’t receive enough support. Now, the focus should be on solutions. who should play where, who deserves to play, and how they should approach the game."
