[PICTURES] Pakistan Under-16s series against Bangladesh (2019)

Bangladeshi batsmen has the ability to score 100 where all our players are capable to score cute 50s or 70s.
There is a serious lack of talent in batting even in our young players.
 
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.

Mostly agree!!!! But still if you don't give proper chances and help better players you will not see the result.
For example Fahim is rubbish as a bowler and batsman. We have at least 2 to 3 players better than him but no opportunities,same goes to Yasir, Imam....
Nepotism and favoritism are everywhere.

I think, BD kids have a good chance to clean sweep the series. Possible minimum 90 overs available today, and PAK U16 likely to be one batsman short. Play positively and put a target something like 220 for last 60 overs of the day, PAK U16 might collapse. They should have made these 4 day games or at least 105 overs/day game over 3 days.

Pakistan U16 practice session ahead of the first One-Day match against Bangladesh U16
 
Being put into bat, BD U16 after 7’5 overs are 26/1
 
Our batting is too weak. Anything over 200 the match will be over for us.
Are the same players of the test team in ODI as well

Pakistan U16s have restricted Bangladesh to 228 for 9 in the first One Day Match.

Farhad Khan taking four for 54.

Pak under 19 139 all out. There js a reason why our cricket is declining. From junior to senior level...nepotism....vested interests within the stake holders. On the other hand you have to admit BD has done extremely well to groom their grassroot level
 
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.
 
Bangladesh U16 win second 50-over match to take unassailable lead in three-match series against Pakistan U16

Lahore, 13 May 2019:

Bangladesh U16 recorded a 17-run win in the second 50-over match against Pakistan U16 at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna on Monday to take a decisive 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Chasing a target of 260 runs, Pakistan U16 fell away after an impressive start, ending their 50 overs at 242 for nine.

Pakistan had reached 197 for four in the 43rd over when Kashif Ali (28) fell, after his dismissal, Pakistan lost four wickets in quick succession. The lower-order could not sustain the required run-rate as the visitors fell away towards the end of the innings.

Opener Sameer Saqib (55 off 87 balls, three fours) added 54 runs for the opening wicket with Haseebullah (25) and 71 for the second wicket with Mohammad Waqas (38 off 49 balls, four fours).

Pakistan though failed to sustain the momentum as Bangladesh bowlers led by Mahfuzur Rahman Rabbi three for 50 and Ashiqur Rahman two for 39 made rapid inroads into the middle and lower-order.

Earlier, opting to bat first after winning the toss, Bangladesh posted 259 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 50 overs.

Opener Mofizul Islam Robin top-scored for the hosts with 69 off 102 balls, his innings included three fours and two sixes.

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

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)...

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.

I think, batting wasn't much of a crisis and there are good genuine spinners coming, but fast bowling will take time. It took India almost half a century, therefore I don't expect overnight jump, but there are good potentials in junior ranks.

Basit Ali is in charge for probably more than my PP age - in that period PAK has seen 3 Prime Ministers and PCB has seen 4-5 Chairmen in probably 256 different tenures. So, for sure the guy has solid contact and he is genuinely considered as a great scout. Just like Hafeez - guy is playing as MVP of PAK team, not only because of his contacts, but for his reputation as well ..... people watching live or playing with rates MoHa almost at per with Mazid Khan, therefore you can't argue. Same for Basit Ali .....

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.

In Age cricket Bangladesh was/is always better even against team like England, Australia, S Africa, NZ
 
Bangladesh has talent, the same degree as India. Just that they mature horribly and become mediocre by the day
 
Finally, a win for PAK kids & no wonder the MoM was a kid scoring 129, playing probably first time in this tour, so obviously it’s not all Basit Ali’s fault - he doesn’t select playing XI from his home.

It’s an alarming trend though - like the seniors, kids are playing “expressive” cricket after the series was lost. PAK U16 could & should have crossed 300, but still ended comfortable winners with the highest team & individual scores of LO leg.
 
Haseebullah’s century guides Pakistan U16 to victory in third 50-over match against Bangladesh U16
