[PICTURES/VIDEOS] A case for Sharjeel Khan: no sense to keep him out of the side

The last match Sharjeel played against India was when he scored a glorious 17 off 24 deliveries in an 18 over match before getting out to Raina.

Plus if Sharjeel were there, the twos and threes would have become fours and the strike rotation Shan did by consistent doubles and triples, Sharjeel would have collapsed on the pitch.
 
I miss Sharjeel Khan in Pakistan team. He would have been a monster in Aussie wickets !
 
Please whats with ppers fascination with mediocre players I mean sharjeels overweight and an ex fixer

Ppers have short memories and everyone out of the team is always better Bring back Malik and Hafeez too
 
This is his moment, he can turn things around just like Hales did.

Sharjeel needs to put down doughnuts for a second and focus on the PSL.

This is probably his last and his best chance of making it back into the Pakistan team. Our 2 openers have been exposed multiple times, they’ve lost a lot of support and a lot of questions are being asked of them. They’re under huge amounts of pressure right now and Sharjeel Khan can add even more pressure with a successful PSL.

For Pakistan’s sake, let us hope that Sharjeel has taken inspiration from Hales.

Sharjeel's international career is over. If the leadership decides to change the opening combination, the likes of Fakher, Haris, Haider, Shafiq and Saim Ayub are next in line to do that.

At the moment, Rizba are not moving. If Rizwan has a quite PSL, Babar will moved Rizwan to one down and have someone open with himself until Babar is removed by the PCB chairman.

The next t20 world cup is in 2024 and he will be around 35.
 
Who in their right mind would pick this fat phackstard, I wouldn’t trust him to run a chippy, he’d eat all the food
 
Sharjeel would have a been a disaster in this World Cup. The conditions were tough for openers with all the swing and seam. His fans should accept the fact that he will not play for Pakistan again.
 
The reason why Jos Butler, Alex Hales, Quinton De Kock, David Warner, etc. are star t20 batsmen aren't just because they can hit 4s and 6s, it's because when those boundaries dry up they can still score productively by proactively hitting those 1s and 2s at a good ball-by-ball rate. Although they've been in bad form this year, RizBar are very good at pinching those 1s and 2s (the problem with them being of course their PP hitting but that is another subject).

Now in regards to Sharjeel, the man play style-wise definitely is a boundary hitter. Is he going to come off hitting those big boundaries every single game? No, as that is true for all the other hard-hitting t20 batsmen of the world. That being said, what would happen if the bowlers dry up his boundaries? He would then need to rely on pinching those 1s and 2s, score at a brisk rate and wait for the bad balls. Put Sharjeel in the recently concluded MCG final. England bowlers are very much capable of drying his boundaries and if Sharjeel relies on hitting the gaps, I highly, highly doubt we'll see a lot of twos ran from him due to his fitness. There'll be more singles than twos that is for sure.

I'm not against Sharjeel playing for Pakistan but lets not act like he's on the level of Butler, Warner these days that Pakistan are keeping out. From my end, if he tears it up in the upcoming PSL then I wouldn't mind him being in future Pak t20 squads. However, the issues still remains of how he runs between the wickets when his boundaries are dried up.
 
Would’ve obliterated dibbly dobbly bowling of Curran, Stokes, Jordan.

Would’ve given 30-40 off 15-20 runs.

Yes or course he wouldve He wouldve countered the swing the new ball english bowlers were gettin upfront, smashed the ball over the 85m boundaries multiple times and run hard to get plenty of 2s and 3s on the huge ground

And then you wake up....

It was amazing seeing the technique of Rizwan in Australia. The greatest opener in Cricket history

Sharjeel played quite a good knock in the national cup final too. That was quite a lively track and KPK had 3/4 good fast bowlers

Ihsanullah
Arshad Khan
I think Imran Khan snr played
And the left armer from PZ (bandana guy)

All were taken to the cleaners by Sharjeel. Even now, that KPK pace attack on Australian tracks is probably better than India, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Afghanistan, Netherlands and Bangladesh’s pace bowling attack

I can swear I am not exaggerating here
 
Looking very fit in the Pakistan Cup

Good on him. If he’s performing in each or any of the 3 formats with consistency then I don’t see why he should not play for us again.

PCB already set the precedent by letting Amir play again so the fixing excuse doesn’t really hold up either.
 
Now thats a player who looks like he is taking his career seriously!!

He's noticed an opening at the top in T20is and made himself ready should the opportunity come.

It's very rare to see a Pakistani player take control of their health in this way and I really hope that he gets an opportunity if he performs!
 
If he stays fit and shows some brilliance in the field then why not. Big PSL coming up for him needs to perform in there.

He doesn’t need to do anything extraordinary

He has 5 domestic T20 centuries

He is Pakistan’s GOAT T20 opener. It’s the others who pretend to be openers that need to match his achievements
 
I haven't seen ANY Pakistani player transform themselves physically in the way that Sharjeel has.

His transformation should be publicised, applauded and rewarded.

Well looks like now that Ramiz has gone, he is back in favour.

Named today in the 21 man provisional squad for the NZ series.

Strangely enough Najam Sethi is the one who threw him out of Pakistan cricket in the first place.
 
Can we have sensible comments in this thread please?
 
End of the road for the greatest opener for Pakistan since Saeed Anwar AKA Imam ul Haq.

Sharjeel is here to take his throne back. Give him a series against Zimbabwe, Australia C, West Indies and Sri Lanka so we can determine whether he can do what Imam does.

Fakhar will be back and opening for Pakistan

Don’t worry bro
 
Fakhar + Sharjeel is the epic opening combo that could’ve been but ultimately didn’t materialize. If Sharjeel controlled his greed, this would’ve been our opening duo 2016 onwards to present day in ODIs, t20s and potentially one of them at least in tests based on fitness and performance.

lol nothing makes sense with these guys.

They probably just want to do everything opposite of what Ramiz did to gain public favour.
 
Currently Sharjeel Khan unable to get into his BPL playing XI - last played on 13th Jan

A hack and a failure who will always be a hack and a failure.

It is ironic though that the same age brigade members who advocated Fawad Alam isn't worth backing because of his age, are doing cartwheels in support of his talentless hack who couldn't rotate the strike if his life depended on it.

Sharjeel & Khalid latif was perhaps the bigger loss to our cricket than Amir and Asif.

That T20 where they bossed it in Manchester will forever remain in the memories of Pakistan fans.

Pretty sure people want him for t20 only and frankly speaking, 17 of 11 is better then 43 of 42 which is what babar frequently did this world cup.

Also I don't think he'd be any worse then saim ayub and Usman, if he's come good for pakistan in the past then just let the guy open in t20.

They top scored ur top marque t20 competition by a mile where sharjeel couldnt even get selected after being miserable for 2 years.

Secondly he just scored 17 runs vs brett lee and nannes. In same match younis scored 63. Should we bring him back too??

How many would Babar and Rizwan score against this Australia attack? Be honest.
 
I dont believe we are so low run that we need this guy in team lol. Wake up its not 2016. That was 8 years ago and he is as pathetic as nasir jamshed. The only place he and azam belongs is food stalls.

Where younis scored 63 at 150 plus sr
Misbah scored 46 at 150 plus sr

You think they ll score less? Even at their lowest they scored more than whole team combined including ur superstar azam and saim.
 
If it was 2016 and someone was debating about sharjeel and his place then I might see a point. Its 2024 that guy is non serious fat and pathetic rn. And you want him intl team? Joke.

If u think he ll outscore babar and rizwan then keep thinking because even if we say they are worst batsman nobody outscored them even in psl lol. Pct can not find a better no 3 than babar. Sharjeel wont get into a club side in any other country rn

Just give me a rough figure. How many would Rizwan and Babar score against this lot and at what strike rate? Be honest

We don't need 17 runs off 11. Already got too many hacks in our Cricket who can do that. We need guys who can bat properly in most phases and bat according to the situation for the winning cause. Also to have good fitness to be helpful int he field and not be a dud.
 
Sharjeel is a convicted fixer and even if he’s breaking world records in league matches (which he isn’t) he should never be brought back to the team. He has deliberately and intentionally ruined his career by engaging in match fixing and it’s about time Pakistani fans stop fantasizing about these cheats. Frankly, it’s disgusting and only exposes the morals of those that support such fixers.

There has to be a hard stance against match fixers.

So after asif ali as captain, imad wasim and amir to return, and azam khan as keeper.

Here comes another gem, bring back sharjeel who cant score runs against a bunch of oldies
Click to expand...
But but but he scored in 2016 in that t20 match.. did u forget? Cant get picked in ur domestic teams. Cant clear small oldies league boundaries. But yess lets get him in team
After these fanboys no look star failed they are back with a new gem.

Why all these players need to hide somewhere lol. Cricket is way more than swininging ur bat blindlessly. A team just won a wc because they didnt just bowl well and batted well. They fielded well too. And azam sharjeel are as good as a rock in field.
 
I don't understand the arguments made here.

What have Babar and Rizwan got do to with selecting Sharjeel again?

Put it this way, even if the all the centrally contracted players are duds, why on earth would you go back to Sharjeel?

The reason why Sharjeel is not in the team is because of Sharjeel himself. These guys choose easy money instead of hard work and end up playing legends league and even there, they could not score runs.

This guy is history now and not something you would want to remember for his cheap things he did like fixing and all. His time is over.

Is this a question?? How much babar would ve scored?

I am 100 percent sure. Make sharjeel and rizwan or babar play in any intl match and both of them will outscore him because he is not even fit to be a ball boy.
In a league where younis is hitting sixes he should atleast be looking good and not out of place
He looks more retired than whole pakistan and australian team.

He asked how much you think babar would score, give a rough estimate and take it from their.

Because FYI, Counternile and Brett Lee even in this age are superior to USA bowlers that were bowling in dallas.

Again, why apply this logic?
You already think Babar/Rizwan are useless so why justify someone else's selection based on their performances?

I'm really at a loss here.
I do feel that too many people are just fans of particular players and not the Team Pakistan as a whole.

I said after Babar was re-appointed captain that the PCB has fallen to new lows and that this is destruction of Pakistan Cricket, almost the final nail being hammered in.

Yet people still blame Riz/Bab for Pakistan's misfortune rather than the actual problem.

So you absolve yourself now by saying “I did say appointing Babar again was a bad decision”?

Can you absolve yourself from the many times where you have said Rizwan and Babar should be opening leading up to the USA match?
