Basit Ali XI are already loose 2 wickets. Basit needs to be grilled about selection of these pathetic bunch of players who don't even score 20 30s in test.
Why it has to be always selection mess - it could be that these bunch are genuinely not that good or could be that genuinely U16..... PAK's age level cricket record is facing a nose dive since ICC had started to tighten screw on age cheats in last 7-8 years. Imagine this - Ziaul Haq played 2010 U19 WC as a 15 years old baby (check his portrait at Wiki page - even if snapped yesterday, that face is of a 24 years old young man of high quality Punjabi/Pathan gin, For God's Sake), who could have been bowling to same BD kids in this series had his birth been bodily shifted by 9 years - thank God, BCB's medical bill would have increased !!!! Or it could be that these BD boys are some how really good ...... by some miracle, there is some talunt found suddenly, in a country where talunt bahoot kam hai. Or, it could be simply a bad tour for PAK U16 team - these are kids, not seasoned pro, there performance will fluctuate by every game. That PAK U16 batsman Shehzad (?), had a pair of hundreds in one of the practice games - he is a damn flop here, this can't be Selection fault. And, same team did beat AUS U16s as well.
At U16 level, it's impossible to filter out top 15 boys from millions playing around, no matter how honest you are or how perfect your system is - do you think these are the best 15 U16 players in Bangladesh or 10 years down the line, all these 15 will be the best cricketers? There could be few odd picks or left-outs, but whoever is picked must be among top 25-35 U16 players from PAK for sure. Also, the batting display I have seen from PAK U19 in last WC or the display I see from a "different" Fakhar Zaman, I do think there is a fundamental gap in the understanding of batting concepts as a whole in every level, which is beyond the scope of selection. Instead of sweeping everything under selection carpet, start to give a fresh thought - something at core needs to be fixed first, then comes selection in good faith & without negligence.
Why are the losers posing with the trophy?
Thankfully junior selection committee contract is not renewed hopefully the new committee is honest and competitive . Basit ali and his colleagues have destroyed junior team .
If this true then its really a good news. Basit Ali should be asked for explanation of selecting a crap team.

Good win for kids - have to track this kid Mahfuz Rabbi, won both MoM.
[MENTION=136411]Shafi[/MENTION], if current selection panel isn't retained, then this is not Basit Ali's team. Who is selecting PAK junior squad then?
Whoever is your selector, the result will be same. You have to admit the fact that Pakistan cricket isn't producing those super talents anymore and Bangladesh has surpassed them

I am not sure regarding Basit, but I think he was still at the position when the team was selected.
Some pretty decent talent coming through for BD as showed by the U19 team which played last WC. Just need some pacy young bowlers and everything is almost set for a pretty decent future. Qazi Onik looked decent if he can add in some yards.
Basit Ali himself a suspicious character and he was known to favor certain players. Pakistan women team was crap under him and now with the new selectors Pakistan women almost won the S Africa ODI.
If the selector is dis-honest then it will be continues. Under Inzi we have rubbish players like Imam, Faheem (Who don't even good for Zimbabwe squad), Yasir (Not a ODI material under even Nepal team), Asif (hit/miss), Malik (Expired more than 4 years ago)...
Yes, you are right about the senior team. Inzi dont pick squad (whether test or ODIs) on basis of domestic performances. Otherwise, Sami Aslam would have been in place Imam in ODIs, Amer yamin in place of Fahim , Fawad in place of Asad in tests,Zafar Gohor in place of Yasir in ODIs. Selection bias is there. But in age cricket I think BD has surpassed Pakistan. Recent under 16 tour is a proof.
