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

Destroyed 2 times World Champion Samuel Badree. One time World Champion Jasprit Bumrah will be a baby bowler for him.
 
Dont know why he went down the hill. I know he was banned but I would have rocked the world if I had his abilities.
 
Well he is a good batsman but at this stage of his career he can't give stellar performances regularly for the team.

You still need to be able to understand modern cricket, which I don’t think you do.
 
Sharjeel Khan, the guy who had utterly mediocre numbers even at his peak is going to comeback and somehow be good.

Some of you guys are way to optimistic. LOL.
 
LOL he looks worse than the players who have been retired for years.

Anyway I don't think even Pakistan are dumb enough to select him. He's absolutely awful...egregious fitness...zero strike rotation...complete leg-side hack. Could have been great like 8 years ago in 2016. That's when he was really starting to come into his own. But he burned it all away by becoming a match-fixer and was never the same when he came back. He dug his own grave.
 
Sharjeel is history. There is no way he is coming back in the side. People are crying for no reason to bring him back bring him back. He cannot and he won't... PCB is not that pathetic.

Misbah at 50 years old still look better than many finishers in Pakistan
 
Thank God Misbah isn’t the captain of the Champion’s side otherwise he would make Sohaib Maqsood and Younis Khan open with Sharjeel coming in at 4

The biggest useless white ball cricket mind in Pakistan history: Misbah ul Haq

He's semi retired that's why he's got picked in the Champions league going on in Birmingham with the likes of Misbah, YK and Afridi.

The guy doesn't even get gigs in LPL of all leagues and you guys are crying over him to get into the PAK side....Geez!!!
The guy doesn’t get a PSL gig, but openers like Rizwan, Babar and Shan Masood do…and these types of openers are also captains of PSL franchises. Think about it, just how far Pakistan cricket and its fans have fallen. This is your level of excellence, openers like the ones who are captaining PSL franchises. Then, it is you people who cry about the national team and why it is incapable of competing with the top teams of the world, because of how far away you are from their style of play.

Ponder. Reflect. Scrutinise. Wake up.

Otherwise, U S A. U S A.

The structure of Pak Champions is infinitely superior to pakistan's current team.

Genuinely speaking, our current team should be playing Champions league while the champions team should be playing international.

YK has consistently shown why he was the best captain post 2000, As soon as afridi and malik were getting tonked, he came up to both of them and told them to bowl short pitch and slow and as soon as they did they got wickets. He also set the field according to his bowlers, Meanwhile babar just says shabash shabash 24/7 while having chacha be the slip.

Secondly the structure is perfect, 3 aggressive openers who utilise the PP, followed by a very strong MO of Malik, YK and Misbah followed by Afridi and Razzaq as your finishers.

The structure of the current team is have 2 non PP openers at the top who think t20 is test cricket, Have your tail start at no 3. And try your level best to protect shadab by not playing abrar.

And you're honestly telling me Sharjeel doesn't find a place in a squad where shadab khan a tail ender is your no 5?
 
Sharjeel Khan dismissal from Brett Lee is akin to showing a person right hand and slapping him with left hand.

Enough of this Bs that Bring Sharjeel back or he deserves selection in national team, Sharjeel is a badly mediocre player who should be no way near the national team

But what about 40 off 40 v USA?

Sharjeel Khan has already given us enough sample.size at international level to gauge his abilities . Thank you Sir! Your services no more required. SIND premier league is your level

So, is that Babar and Rizwan’s level too or you are conveniently going to be biased?

Whatever Babar and Rizwan are still better players than Sharjeel Khan it's just their lust for opening is not right

In t20? Or overall?

Babar I can understand since he's technically more correct and will perform more in ODIs. It'll be similar to the Fakhar Zaman vs Misbah debate, Fakhar is 100x more impactful but Misbah is more consistent.

But why rizwan? Rizwan in t20 desperately needed a respite from Misbah to ever function. He has zero good innings against proper sides in t20?

In odi he has 1 good performance against sri lanka, The bashing sharjeel did against australia in their home den and his Ireland butchering is > Rizwan and his capabilities especially after we already saw how rizzu performed against Ireland lol.
 
Wahab said in his report that fitness was poor, so PCB will recall Sharjeel- a specimen so fit, that even CR7 is embarrassed
 
Sharjeel should be outscoring likes of Malik etc in this tournament - especially given boundary sizes etc.

Rizwan has more match winning innings in t20i than sharjeel.

No one cares about his innings in t20 against b string and c string sides.

In recent times the hype for tours has gone down the drain. Unless a player does something revolutionary in a series such as fakhar scoring his 200 or 193 against sa or 180 against NZ then no one cares.

Even then people remember fakhar for his ct 2017 final and his 60 ball 100 against MZ chasing 400 in wc the more.

Rizwan has done nothing revolutionary in t20 that warrants attention, and in tournaments his best innings is the 10 wicket game against india. Otherwise he's botched more tournaments then won them, Asia cup 2022 final being the key metric.

So you want Sharjeel to do wicket keeping as Rizwan replacement,
 
Sharjeel is a specialist batsman where as Rizwan is also a wicketkeeper, therefore the expectation from Sharjeel as an opener should be higher than Rizwan as an opener
So Rizwan is allowed to be a below international standard T20 opener because he is a keeper?

The depths for the love of Sharjeel Khan is unreal, Sharjeel as a specialist opener has a SR of 133 in T20 Whereas Rizwan being a keeper has SR of 126.

If Rizwan plays at no. 4 or 5 all the debate will end, whereas Sharjeel with these numbers will still remain a failure and a tainted player

Let’s see if happen first.

Sharjeel>>>Babar and Rizwan as T20 openers

Let’s see this happen. And then Babar batting at 3, Rizwan at 4 or 5. And don’t talk about ‘depths of love’ especially having blundered with your justification of Rizwan’s pathetic T20 approach as an opener because he is a keeper.

You realise rizwan at no 4 and no 5 was terrible for years since his 2015 debut in t20? It was in 2020 when he was given a respite by Misbah due to SNGPL.

Also wdym by higher expectations? So what were your expectations of sarfraz?

Does the planet look at Jos Butler and Quinton de kock and say, Yeah we should replace Butler with Alaistair cook and Quinton with bavuma, But we won't because they are keepers so let's lower our expectation?

Cricket is not played on forums and keyboards whenever a team is made, certain players with their strength and weakness are selected to maximise the overall output, at present Rizwan fits in Pakistan team though batting order is debatable.

Whatever flaws Rizwan has will not make Sharjeel Khan a better player , rather Sharjeel got a chance to represent Pakistan in 20+ T20s yet he failed to Cement his position

On what criteria is Sharjeel better than RizBar as opener

So shadab khan at no 5 is their to maximise pakistan's output?

Abrar not being played is to maximise pakistan's output?
 
Dream on ! Only in video games Sharjeel will play for Pakistan
I know, and on the same video games can you use Rizwan and Babar to set up a score of 220 against England, Australia, India and South Africa. And you can maybe push it to 240 against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh. You can go for 260 against USA, Ireland and Scotland. In video games, you can ensure Babar’s XI isn’t 10 runs short
 
So shadab khan at no 5 is their to maximise pakistan's output?

Nobody is talking about Shadab and Abrar, only the pathetic performances of Sharjeel Khan for Pakistan team are being analysed

You talked about pakistan maximising output, So I'm asking you how exactly are they maximising output via the decisons they are making.

He has a valid point. You people love to single Sharjeel, Fakhar, Saim, Azam etc for their roles whilst overlooking the complete nonsense upon which this team is based upon.

Answer his question. Stop deflecting!

RizBar have some number.of years left in international cricket unlike Sharjeel Khan

Have him play the game on Hardest difficulty with physics being set at hardest he'll get bowled out for 10.

So we carry on with a pathetic approach to this game because those two curses are 30 and have some years left??!!!

I’ve said since 2019 ‘HE HAS NO SPARK’. I’ve been right since

I’ll say it again, I’ll be right again. Your failure as a cricketing nation is imminent with this man at the helm of it.

No your words were Cricket is not played on forums and keyboards whenever a team is made, certain players with their strength and weakness are selected to maximise the overall output, at present Rizwan fits in Pakistan team though batting order is debatable.

You clearly stated Certain players with their strengths and weaknesses are selected to maximize output.

Who are the certain players in pakistan that play every game and have title cards. I'll give you the answer.

1) Babar and rizwan (Play every game at positions 1 to 3)

2) Shadab (Plays every game at position 5)

3) Chacha (plays every game at position 6/7)

4) Fakhar (Plays every game at position 4)

5) Shaheen, Naseem and rauf( Main trio that Play majority)

^^ Now from this list kindly justify how pakistan is maximising its output qith shadab at 5, Chacha at 6, fakhar at 4, Babar and rizwan at 1 to 3.

Please back up your claims

Rizwan justifies his place in the team regardless of your analogies but the sad thing is Sharjeel Khan even in mid 30s failed to establish himself as an international player and now stop this rona Dhona, nobody has defended or tried to defend Shadab Iftikhar and others the debate being is about Sharjeel Khan' s failure rather than trying to portray him as the next messiah or reincarnation of Matthew Hayden

Abh wo Players Babar aur rizwan (no 1 to no 3), Fakhar (no 4), Shadab (no 5) aur Chacha (no 7) hain.

Abh Mere dost Mujhe batao kei team Pakistan apna output kesei maximize kar li hai is Combination kei sath?

I cannot help you , Rizwan fits into Pakistan team long story short , rest of the players they are responsible for their performance or the team management is accountable for this,

So are you saying you cannot answer the premise that you yourself claimed?
 
How?!!???
Cause he's a keeper, so we must lower our expectations.

That's why Quinton was selected in place of bavuma, Every one knows Bavuma should be selected over Quinton but he was dropped because the standards were too high for bavuma but too low for quinton.
 
So are you saying you cannot answer the premise that you yourself claimed?
Rizwan is maximising the team output unlike others , team management failed in their decision of selecting other players what if Rizwan was dropped the replacement Azam was even worst . Simple as that
