[PICTURES] More humiliation for Pakistan cricketers: All 50 go unsold in The Hundred (2025) draft [Update@ Post#35]

[kingusama92]

Honestly why would anyone pick pak players when they offer nothing?? Outdated cricket mode, unfit, no dedication, poor fielding standards.. Teams can pick quality players from Aus nz wi sl sa who offer a lot more . Just plain common sense.

I don't watch league cricket but the stats are pretty decent for some of these guys.

Haris Rauf had the best average of 8 (and fourth best economy) in The Hundred last season. The guy killed it in the Big Bash too.

Saim Ayub averaged 43 in the CPL. Usama Mir was just as good as Zampa in the latest Big Bash.

International cricket is one thing, but Pakistani cricketers can be valuable assets in leagues. Most of these non-selections have to do with the NOC stuff and of course in some cases Indian ownership (SAT20).

The problem is consistency. Rauf can be a good pick. Saim average has no meaning - in t20s its all about strike rates or emse rizbar would be t20 greats. But they are pretty mediocre. Usama mir was average. But their fielding is very ordinary. Cant be a one dimensional player in t20s anymore unless you are bumrah or varun chakravarty

Blessing in disguise honestly, Pakistan Cricket was going WI way with these players available for hire everywhere. National duty and the PSL should be their priority.

Some of the West Indian players are multimillionaires.

In terms of personal wealth, yes. But a nation's Cricketing health also goes down with top talent focussed on random leagues.

So why did those 50 Pakistani cricketers register themselves knowing their international schedule?

See no one answered this till now.. Why ask questions bro.. bohot hard.
