Well, how can you blame Sharjeel for his partner not scoring his runs with the same impact he does? Nothing as such has even happened yet. Relax dude!

So basically the old regime was keeping Sharjeel out because apparently he doesn’t know how to “rotate strike”.
How silly does that sound in the modern era of 2 new balls, free hits, 1 bouncer rule, flat tracks and b string bowling attacks.
No wonder we have the worst strike rates in white ball history as a nation

I am very pleased he has lost weight. It will be good for his health, reduce risk of heart attack, diabetes and should be better for his mental health too.
However he is a corrupt fixer. Therefore he should not play for Pakistan. Cannot be trusted.

Personally, I don't believe in "corrupt fixer" tag that should result in a life time ban. We have current rules in place that allow the man to restart after he has done his time. This is fair enough.
And seriously, with what face Pakistanis call others as "corrupt"? Isn't the ENTIRE NATION corrupt to the core? It's very ironic.
Isnt Ramiz Raja corrupt since he got the post due to friendship with IK? He was never qualified for this job.

To be honest, I rather have a player that never rotates strike but scores at 10+ RPO. It is a much better tempo for LOI. That means low chance of run outs.

How is it Sharjeel fault when he times the ball SO WELL that he rarely hits those unpleasantly timed shots (which are referred to as singles by others).

He doesn't have a life time ban. He can play domestic, PSL etc. Representing the country is different, however.
In terms of 'entire nation' being corrupt. Yes, I suppose most Pakistanis will have done some borderline corrupt things at some point. However the difference with fixing in all sport is that you are essentially breaking a social contract about fair play and good faith. For a sportsman to fix is literally the worst thing they can do as it defeats the entire purpose of sport. It is a red line. Put it this way - in the UK, doctors, lawyers, teachers etc can all be struck off and banned from their profession for ever if they cross certain lines. That line in sport is fixing / scripting the action for corrupt purposes.
No idea if Ramiz Raja is corrupt. I think other than the pitches he did a reasonable job as PCB chairman. Was definitely qualified.

Did not get clearance from PCB for Sharjeel’s inclusion: Afridi
KARACHI: Opening batter Sharjeel Khan’s possible return to Pakistan’s white-ball squad was delayed as selection committee could not get green signal from the PCB Management Committee for the left-hander’s inclusion.
Sharjeel was included in 24 probable players for the series and was considered to be among favorites for the inclusion in three ODIs against New Zealand.
However, he was not named in the 16-member squad announced on Thursday.
Interim selection committee’s chairman Shahid Afridi confirmed that he did not get green signal from the PCB to include Sharjeel in the team.
“Sharjeel Khan was included in the probable players list seeing his performance in domestic but was not retained in final squad as I did not get green signal from PCB chairman on his inclusion in the team,” said Afridi directing towards the spot-fixing scandal occurred during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in UAE.
Khan was named in PSL spot-fixing scandal in 2017 and was suspended for five years from playing any form of cricket. Half of his sentence was suspended which allowed him to make a comeback in 2019.
He subsequently played in PSL and domestic tournaments and toured with Pakistan team to Zimbabwe, South Africa and West Indies to play T20Is.

So, Najam Sethi is the Chief Selector…
Wasn’t there a video of Sethi recently saying he’ll support Amir’s return because he believes fixers shouldn’t be banned for life if they’ve paid the penalty.
Najam Sethi needs to go ASAP

Nah man this just means he’s not getting picked for any format, green signal doesn’t just apply to ODI’s.

Personally I think they didn’t want to make their first independent selection look like they are tolerant of fixers/tainted players.
Afridi also said Sharjeel is in their future plans. It’s a game of patience. InshaAllah the right players will be picked for the right format at the right time

Exact quote from Shahid Afridi on Sharjeel Khan:
"We did not get a green signal about Sharjeel Khan from the Chairman, maybe it had some connection with what happened in Dubai but when we do get the green signal on him, we will look at this again"

Sharjeel has not done enough. He had two PSL seasons post comeback & got outperformed by a dozen batsmen.
He was given a couple of T20Is against the West Indies in 2021 & he failed.
The upcoming PSL will present another opportunity for Sharjeel to take the tournament by storm & put pressure on PCB. If he fails, he has no one to blame.
Performing in National T20 Cup & Pakistan Cup becomes quite irrelevant when you do not perform in the PSL.

Why was he named in the 24 player provisional squad if there was no chance of him getting approval from the Chairman to be picked.
I reakon if Fakhar was injured or not in the squad then he would have been picked.

They should move on from Sharjeel and Amir , they are corrupt and also cannot play the naive/young card to fixing or talking bad about their own former teammates which does hurt as Shadab said in an interview prior to the WT20 final

Sharjeel Khan was the first batter to score a century in the HBL PSL. He clubbed eight sixes in his 62-ball 117 for Islamabad United against Peshawar Zalmi in the second qualifier and Islamabad were eventually crowned champions of the inaugural edition. He has, to date, smashed 72 HBL PSL sixes, one less than Fakhar.
Sharjeel, who since his return to the HBL PSL in 2020 has been in Karachi Kings, has hit a boundary every 4.5 ball in the HBL PSL and that is because of his desire to make the most of the Powerplays.
Sharjeel: “I believe 70 to 80 per cent of the match is defined by how the first six overs go. What I have learned over the years that a team which has the most boundaries wins the match, so I try to milk the first six overs.
“I am also looking to lay a solid platform for my side and if I continue to bat after the completion of the first six overs then I look to make sure that I carry that momentum.
“It is important to not to forget the basics and try to gauge the conditions. So usually, I do try to take four balls or an over as every day is a new day and conditions are different. Whether I am facing a spinner or a pacer, the plan remains the same, examine the conditions and then go for the attack and this often proves to be beneficial for the team as well.”

The only time my support for this guy waned was after the fixing debacle. I wanted to see if he’d get to the point he was at in 2016 pre ban. He had begun working on his game to go from legside favoring to being able to play all around the wicket.
Before that in 2013 everyone was hyped for this guy to make his debut, and he finally did Vs SL iirc, and it was fantastic. One of the most hyped debuts alongside Fakhar. Sad that they haven’t featured together in internationals.
Come back wasn’t the most eye catching. But now he’s fitter and performing. And I’m happy for him. If Shan can get into an ODI squad, I don’t see why Sharjeel can’t play in t20s and even ODIs. Fixing excuse won’t work after we opened the doors for Amir.

Not really international class based on recent BPL form too, and is a liability on the field.
Could still be a domestic giant for 2-3 years and make a decent career.

Yes of course Sharjeel cant make any runs in domestic cricket but he ll smash intnl bowlers around the world and singlehandedly win pakistan the world cup
Pakistan have only won three trophies in their history. So many great Pakistani players weren’t able to win a trophy for Pakistan, but an overweight fixer who isn’t good enough for domestic cricket will win an international trophy for Pakistan.

Strong on the leg and off

The best T20 opener in Pakistan alongside Fakhar Zaman
