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

strike rate of 133 is not blistering by any means to what 130 is.
You said he should match them. They don’t have SRs above 130 having played 60-70 games on the trot as openers since 2019…he still has a sr above them having not played international cricket for 3-4 years. So how do you want him to match them?

Match them in domestics as well with consistent performance and not getting involved in any match fixing. Can he match them??? NOPE

Right, bring up stuff from 2016…8 years ago.

Even then, he has matched them by repenting and not committing the same mistake. Besides that, what kind of matching are you talking about from a cricketing POV?

Who wants to aspire to strike the ball at 125 as an opener?

Nobody wants a 34 year old guy who is not even consistently performing and chose to pay for oldies legends leagues instead of some credible league to show his talent.

He cannot make a comeback by playing in legends league.
 
Consistent performance of 40+ average at 120sr? It has lead to:

-Rank 7 in the ICC rankings
-No proper middle order
-Group stage exit in 2024 (loss to USA)
-Should have been a group stage exit in 2022 (Netherlands upsetting SA)
-No youngster being allowed to settle into the team because ‘performance’ according to Pakistan standards in a 50 off 40 balls every 3rd/4th match…but the 25 off 10 balls, or a 40 off 20-25 balls is seen as a failure if not done every match.

It’s not like he had all these options did he? He had a CPL contract, or a MLC contract which he rejected?

Besides, Pakistan’s top ranked batters cannot get picked in the Hundred, ILT20, CPL or Big Bash. These are the best leagues they can play in considering IPL is barred for them. Why do they struggle to get picked in the best cricket available having had the exposure on the international scene for 4-5 years plus??
 
QDQ’s career strike rate is also 137 @BouncerGuy

He is a failure because he isn’t matching Babar and Rizwan?
No one here is sane enough to say that Riz and babar the guys you should follow when it comes to strike rate.

I am talking about Sharjeel making a place in the NATIONAL TEAM. FOR that He has to score consistent runs even if he scores at 120, I don't care. He needs to show runs. DOes he have any to show in PSL where the performance??? Not even picked for PSL, does that ring a bell that nobody wants him???

Last 10 t20 games. Speaking on consistency and scoring some runs.

That’s a bold statement mate.

RizBar are the ideal. You have to be better than them to have things go your way in the national side. They have been immovable for 4 years+.

Pakistan cricket doesn’t work like the other nations looking to progress. They are ranked 7 for the right reasons.

Then Sharjeel should try to be better than them. IS HE better than them atm??? NO

How is he gonna prove that he is better than both of them? by playing legend league against retired guys or by smashing the bowlers in domestic like Sahibzada farhan did or saim did.
 
Where does Sharjeel stand in the pecking order , he is not even in top 5 , he has messed up himself, his prime years wasted in spot fixing ban, yet he is still considered as Blind man's Sehwag
 
Then Sharjeel should try to be better than them. IS HE better than them atm??? NO
Matter of perception and understanding of the game.

Is he a better T20 opener than them? That’s the question you should ask. The answer: A RESOUNDING YES.

Was he a better T20 opener than them? The answer: O HELL YEAH!

I keep reiterating, broaden your minds by understanding how the game is being played and what is required. Let go of this stubbornness to accept the truth, only then you can see what is right, what is required.

How can he maximise his output?

Let’s hear your expert opinion on this.

He was better few years ago. Where is his performances like Saim or Farhan's????

Should have work on his technique he also lacks strike rotation which makes him an easy prey when ball is not in his zone, also the fitness was questionable henceforth no output maximisation and got discarded by four captains Afridi Hafeez Sarfraz and Babar
 
Sharjeel is the GOAT T20 opener of Pakistan alongside Imran Nazir and Fakhar Zaman

These 3 are the Elite T20 openers produced in Pakistan history.
I want this GOAT to Work hard and smash some runs in domestics, to make a comeback and revive his GOAT status.

Doesn’t need to.

Pakistan needs him. You take him for what he is. It’s not as if he will be selected if he does what you want him to.

Yes, you are right, he won't be selected.
 
He is worth having a look again. No harm in trying. We are losing matches anyway.

How is he worth looking at?

does no one care about the prosperity of Pakistan Cricket?

If I was 20/22 years old and grinding it out in domestic with some performances behind me I would be absolutely demoralised if a 30+ year old got selected on that back of zilch and that too in T20 cricket...

Conversely, what sort of example does it set for up and coming youngsters?

Have you seen the legends tournament?

If you had then you wouldn't be taking these posts too seriously. Gazza Bhai is pulling our leg.

The boundary is about 45m
 
To be fair, Sharjeel Khan was the best batter in the Pakistan Cup this season . So it's not just Legends league that he is performing in.

Higher average and strike rate than even Saim Ayub.

Probably worth a last chance in the team for Champions Trophy.

Saim ur star has been given more chances than anyone else without any performance if he cant cement his place still its upto him.
 
I think all those people who claimed rizwan > Kamran akmal owe my brother @Rana An apology.

Remember Ireland faced pakistan on school boy pitches similar to this one so what happened their?
 
Besides Mark Adair, All these bowlers are superior to the ones bobby and rizzu faced on school boy pitches.
Tbf bro this bowling attack is rubbish. We know that but we also know Sharjeel will blast any attack on his day. It’s the way he plays that we love. These frauds can never play like Sharjeel against any bowling attack. Even against women’s cricket they cannot play like Sharjeel

Naw, Ireland bowling attack is absolutely rubbish besides Mark adair. INDIAN bowlers from this chachu unit is still > All of them besides Mark adair who's Ireland only real bowler.

Alot of people kept telling me Ireland > Canada and USA and I told people no Ireland was the weakest lol.

That leg spinner who Babar smashed for 4 sixes is atrocious. You have to be terrible to be smashed like that by Babar.
 
What ? king Babar will not let Sharjeel return to the side. He must already be feeling threatened
 
Bro I know you are trolling but if you don’t know the meaning of Urdu cuss words, don’t use them.
I am not trolling. Did I say something wrong?
And ghanta word I learned on this forum. I think it means fake
 
Sharjeel has to perform one season in domestic like this to earn a call. Can't select people on basis of performing against retired Cricketers. It will be injustice to current domestic performers like Sahibzada Farhan.

No you could not have learned it from this forum. Mods would delete it. No one calls Babar 1% of the things he is called on social media on this forum.

Ok….














*He performed last season 🤡
 
Pakistan champions is basically a Pensioners tourney chill it with a drink and other stuff , nothing serious it is

A complete footage of Sharjeel Khan batting should be sent to Gary Kirsten to identify his potential which Afridi Hafeez Sarfraz and Babar failed to check.

This trophy is still more serious then mentality of Pakistan's current team.

Atleast the players over here are competing for fun and enjoying their cricket and team company.

What Is current Pakistan's mentality? To fight tooth and nail for their spot to appease their safarish SNGPL overlords while everyone is at each other's throats having kabadi matches with their pot bellies?
 
Sharjeel Khan in post-game presser:

"On a wicket like this you have to show the right intent as this is a short format and there is limited time for both batters and bowlers so I did what I could do whilst playing the ball on its merit"

"I had support from Shahid Afridi and the environment of the team is also good as all seniors are supporting me a lot, so it feels good"
IMG-20240707-WA0042.jpg
 
That’s the most convenient and corrupt thing you can say in order to defend Mohammad Rizwan’s opening batting position.

This is the kind of tone, language these people who have lead Pakistan to this path of destruction toddy have been using over the years.

Putting this discussion to bed is exactly what Misbah would do to protect those who conform to his outdated cricketing ideology.

@Hyder

You enjoyed that?
 
Sharjeel had a great tournament in the President’s Cup to, he was among the top scorers and more importantly, had the best S/R by a mile.

What do you all even follow these days besides cake cutting video’s ? and I don’t even live in Pakistan, Sharjeel may well be the night mayor of Birmingham for one night, but why turn a blind eye to his talent?

You can’t justify it after the besti in the 2024 WC, it’s the equivalent of finding your best mate with somebody you really like and you brush it aside by saying, ah it’s fine, they’re just friendly. Babar and Rizwan have both been cheating on Pakistan fans and you just accept it? where is the honour?

I’m pretty sure Mike Hesson said the same things but hey, if I say it it’s me who is delusional.
 
Sharjeel played a good knock but it will never be the criteria for him to get selected in the team if he is serious. The question is, Sharjeel is trying to make a comeback in the national team or not??? is he serious about it??
 
FREE FREE SHARJEEL KHAN! from the river to the sea, SHARJEEL KHAN will be free!

The new chant on alum rock road.

His body language alone says it all, before a hot crowd under that pressure to go out and deliver with eye balls on you says it all. And as I said before, most so called Pakistan fans don’t actually follow domestic cricket besides the PSL, if they did they would be aware of his performances in the past 12-18 months. And when you look at the kind of players who have been picked in Pakistan’s LOI sides and the positions they tend to play to, it should really be a question of how he can be integrated as soon as possible.
 
No one here is sane enough to say that Riz and babar the guys you should follow when it comes to strike rate.

Lets ignore the bigger picture here.

Why create barriers to his selection like last 10 games even worse when his opportunities have been crippled, you talk about the last 10 games, what have our openers done in the last 3-4 years? I will give you those 10 games and still pick Sharjeel after watching him as a student of the game compared to what I’ve seen from the current side.

No. The question is, is the national team serious about improving as a cricket team that can play proper cricket like world teams? Are fans that are still sleeping ready to wake up? That’s the question you should be asking.

He is the 6th highest run scorer. Husain Talat and Kamran Ghulam deserve more than Sharjeel according to this cup.

3rd highest scorer after Saim and Shan and also check the strike rates.

Sharjeel should stick to these retired leauges or what ever they are. The guy never was able to sort out his fitness.

Another player who lacks the hunger and desire to work hard.

He has the hunger to smash bowlers for 15 runs plus in an over in the powerplay. Can you name any ‘fit’ player in Pakistan that has the same brute mentality as him?

He is done, he had huge potential but stupid choices he made resulted in him cutting short his Pak career.

Players with poor fitness levels should never be allowed to play for Pak. Never.

Pak cricket is at its lowest and curtently no one fits to the requirement of current Int standard of T20 cricket.
 
What’s his recent domestic record?
Can’t bring a player due to 8 year old performances, might as well bring Imran Nazir, Afridi etc back

So we keep going with Babar and Rizwan?
 
Have you seen the legends tournament?

If you had then you wouldn't be taking these posts too seriously. Gazza Bhai is pulling our leg.

The boundary is about 45m
Sharjeel’s sixes were not sixes anywhere? I admit the bowling isn’t international standard but it looks a bit like the bowling against which Babar and Rizwan score 50s against

The boundary is 60-65M.

And the sixes that maqsood, Sharjeel and Kamran akmal hit would be sixes anywhere in the world. They were flying out of here.

The only person who has been lucky to play on such small boundaries is probably Malik, YK and Misbah and Afridi are clearing it, But malik so far is struggling, Many of the shots he has hit are either a 4 or out. They've been sixes only on this pitch
