[Rana]

Look at his scores in his last few internationals. Not good at all I am afraid.

The sudden & quick loss of confidence in Hasan from management is a bit disturbing. This is a player they were championing for the brand of cricket they wanted to play along with Mohammad Haris and both have been dropped pretty quickly. All while they have various positions/roles and playing in tough conditions. It is concerning they talk about playing high risk cricket and backing players but we saw it play out in Asia Cup, when the pressure gets turned up a notch, they go back to their defensive and conservative approach and back players who play such style. At the end of the day, if players know a high risk approach isn't ever going to be back, they will develop themselves as conservative batters coming up and the cycle will continue.

They had him fast tracked to ODI's as well when he had only played like 5 List A games and didn't warrant an ODI consideration. It's foolish planning from think tank as usual and it seems like new management always need to make a scapegoat out of previous management selection in the pretence of doing something different. Ghulam & Saud got chopped prematurely in favour of Hasan Nawaz and they still haven't gone back to them but instead choosing to go with Talat all for the sake of pretending of doing something different.

Regardless, I don't think its bad for Nawaz development to go back to domestic, play some FC and List/T20's should happen shortly after so hopefully he can review his short comings at the international level and try to rectify them.

So what’s the line up now??

1. Saim
2. Farhan
3. Babar
4. Agha
5. Talat
6. Usman Khan

????

Bhai kya chahte ho?!! Just get it over and done with and announce Babar+Rizwan as your openers and try for the umpteenth time with the same crappy approach! Aik dafa phir Zaleel ho jao! It’s ok, you’ve done it 50 times in the past so might as well keep doing the same rubbish again and again until Babar and Rizwan, plus their supporters have had enough of exploiting, violating and pillaging Pakistan cricket!!

 

[TeymurBlake]

Whether he is the second coming of Inzi or Imam, he needed to be backed & persisted with which he didn’t receive.

He now has been discarded. He still is a good striker of spinners. He is a game changer & has been replaced with Talat, who doesn’t understand what game changing mean.

Eventually Talat will be replaced by Rizwan.

It will be the same crap as usual!

As a unit Pakistan suffered far too many dramatic collapses in recent times. Brainless hacking without situational awareness led to this. Even Ian smith criticized this braindead approach. This is why old players are gradually sneaking into this side. ONe of the main reason for this is appointment of Agha as T20 captain. A man with zero credentials as a T20 player. He was central piece of many of these collapses. He could neither stop the slide nor counter attack. In a way Babar/Rizwan have to thank Agha for making their return easier.

Yeah but this makes no sense if Pakistan have won 2 series in the lead up to the Asia cup and then playing a final!

They were working well as a unit! That’s how things are when you are in a process of building towards a goal!

110 in 12-13 overs against a bowling attack of Bumrah, Kuldeep, Varun and Axar! You were on the right bloody track!!!

Why completely derail it??!

Then 9 for 31 happened. I found atleast 10 collapses in 2025 alone. But for Shaheen Afridi and Md Nawaz many of the results would have been far more embarrassing. It gave an impression pakistan could literally lose from any position.There was cry fo stability. The put these two right back into the mix. Pakistan had more attacking shots than other teams except SL. But their average is the second lowest while playing attacking shot. It explains why they collapse a lot. They are not able to keep their wickets while attacking. It si the skill issue. But overall it will be viewed as stability issue. People will look for some statpadders inadvertently. So i pin this on Agha as he was supposed to do that role.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Until they remove Agha from T20 set up and appoint Shaheen as captain they will continue floundering in T20 format. At this rate even Iftikhar will come back into the set up as most of these guys don't stay for more than 8 or 9 balls on an average.

Bhai kya baatain Kar raha hai?

Pakistan went from a RQ rr or 7.5 per over to 15 by the 16th over of the Asia cup final of 2022!!

They have had drastic failures in finals many times…they continued with the crap approach and mindset of RizBar for a long long time!!

One not so fluent tournament in which they played a final and also removed India’s top order for 20-3 is not the end all! The same India went and beat Australia in Australia! They are a bloody good team!! You don’t change your approach having lost to a good team For GOD’s SAKE!!

 

[Rana]

Strike rate of 154!

34 sixes in a year @8.7 balls per six

Pakistan’s fastest century record holder…



DROPPED FROM THE T20I TEAM

 

[zaidihusain]

Well the examples you have given are players who have proven their metal. Naseem has kinda gone downhill though.

Hassan Nawaz has failed pretty badly I am afraid. We must stop comparing. Hassan needs to work harder on his game, its as simple as that.

Proven their mettle? Who exactly has done that?
If this is the standard we’re setting for international cricketers, then I’m sorry but the bar needs to be raised. Babar, Shaheen, Haris Rauf, and Naseem have played plenty of matches by now, yet how many genuinely match-winning performances do they have? One or two at best.

Let’s be honest — Naseem didn’t even “go downhill.” He never reached an uphill point to begin with. And as a collective unit, these players haven’t shown that they can win a single Test, ODI, or even a T20 against a strong side when it truly matters.

So hyping them as proven performers is just not grounded in reality.

 

[RidiculousMan]

A guy who hit 34 sixes in a year dropped from Pakistan T20i side…

Whereas a guy who opened 5-6 years in the powerplay and has NEVER hit a powerplay six in T20 major tournaments is being retained!

Wow!

Hesson couldn't find spot for Hasan Nawaz or Mo Haris in top 4. But he found it instantly for Babar, Talat and Usman.

You are those naive fans on which Pakistan Cricket Board and management thrives on to make manipulative decisions.

Hasan Nawaz averages 44 at 181 SR in no. 4 position.

He scored 399 runs at an average of 57 and strike rate of 162. Mostly batting at no. 4

He was not out of form or a bad player. Why suddenly then he was shoved down the order beginning from Asia Cup and then suddenly dropped in favor of Talat?

It was a calculated move bring the knife on Hasan. First put youngster on big stage and put immense pressure waiting for him to fail and then slowly bring him out of position and bat him at places like no. 6 or 7 (which are one of the most difficult and pressure positions in limited overs Cricket), while guarding seniors up-top so that when the youngster fail, we will tell naive fans like you that look Hasan failed. He needs to be dropped.

Pakistan expectations, patience level are different. SENA teams have a massive advantage of not having fans massively react to every single failure. It is not the same for subcontinent teams. When you have many batting failures in succession you are going to be under the pump. No esape for any subcontinent batsmen. Saim is surviving purely because he could bowl. Otherwise he was going to be on his way out. So they have to be mindful of that. Not long ago Haris made comments about Babar's batting. Now he is out. OUt of the blue Usman waltzed back in. Babar is also in.

In the year 2025. 107 single digits scores for Pakistan in 26 matches. From the top 6 - 72 single digits. Runs are currency. When you have players who deliver once in every 10 matches it is very hard to win tournament. These players have to display some consistency without losing the aggressive intent. Not enough runs vs Poor strike rate. Former will always be easily understood than the later. So they cannot overly compromise on lack of consistency.

 

[Abid Z]

This guy needs serious work. Better he learn the job and then return if he does. I just don’t understand why Kg doesn’t get a game but anyway.

It’s a clear injustice and anyone who thinks otherwise is either ignorant or has questionable motives.

I am sorry but all I hear is excuse regarding Hasan Nawaz's performance and the suggestion that he should have been sent in to bat at number 4 instead of positions at 5 and 6. It is important to understand that Hasan Nawaz is not a big enough name that team management would make a calculative move to drop him based on his position in the batting order.

Let's take a closer look at the numbers. Hasan has scored 53 runs in his last 8 innings, which is not an impressive tally. Instead of using the excuse that his batting position was the problem, we should acknowledge that success is not served on a silver plate. It requires hard work and consistent performance. Hasan has batted rather inconsistently, and it is imperative that he focuses on improving his game.

Moving forward, I believe it would be more beneficial to encourage Hasan to work harder on his skills and techniques, rather than shifting the blame to his batting order. Consistency and dedication are key to achieving success, and I trust that with the right guidance and effort, Hasan can improve his performance.

DROPPED FROM THE T20I TEAM

Here are some real stats. This is reason why Hasan Nawaz dropped.

Asia cup
M -3 ,runs -17 , avg- 5.7 , strike rate - 65 , highest score -9

Vs South Africa

M-3 , runs - 8 , AVG -4 , strike rate -66 , highest score -5

In tri series same stats expect one innings against UAE where he scored 56

He has given Enough chances but failed miserably sp deserved to be dropped
