Sir Amir graduate from Dorsen UK, giving his expurt opinion

Shamyl might be talented , but he will have the baggage of his father a sold out Journo/anchor advocating for fake regime
 
I dont think shamyl is a parchi.
His selection is on merit

Who in the last 10 years has had as bad of a stance and technique as Shamyl?

He looked absolutely clueless against 140kph pace as if he has never played such bowling before!

That bending and only playing towards mid wicket omg so club level!

Now that he somehow made it into the team with 2nd worst technique of all time, we may as well give him some chances.
 
THIS BENDING!!

How bad is this? Such a terrible stance.


 
2nd ODI for him today and once again, he played a pathetic shot to get out for nothing.

His technique got exposed already. Has no offside game
 
As usual proving that you can go far in life if you have good contacts.

Should be given the entire series to prove himself though
 
But his numbers are good enough to merit a place. I mean that's all he can do.
You are right but whether the opposition is strong or weak is another story.

Like I said he should be given atleast 10 chances. I mean if Saim can get over 50 of them with very little to
Show for it then Shamyl deserves the same

Its how it works. Once you score runs in domestic cricket you deserve a chance. Having a poor domestic structure is another discussion.
 
Too raw & not ready for international cricket yet Saud Shakeel, Kamran Ghulam & many other domestic performers were overlooked.

Saim has been actually very good in ODIs.

I think he was highest run scorer versus SAF.
 
Joke of a batsman, that was a proper heave with eyes closed and end result we saw also 6 in 22, he has strike rotation issues so that munafqat from some fans needs to be stopped , i hope he plays the 3rd game to complete the tour

Since when do munafiqs have the right to demand an end to munafiqat?
 
Guy is not ready, needs more domestic seasons. And Talat Hussain needs to calm down.

If they keep pushing for him to play international his development will stop. If he plays domestic, can comeback as a developed batter.

Got thrown in way too early
 
His giving Danish Aziz a run for his money as the worst player in pak history.
 
He had the 2nd most fc runs in the world in 2025 at a sr of 70+
He is surely talented and 1 game isn't enough to judge him especially when one youngster has been given 70+ chances without any success.
He should play 10-12 games first then we can judge him

I hope after actually watching him play you realize how pathetic he is.

Most good clubs will not play him as their batsman!!! That is how bad he is.

What do you think selectors are there for? Raw runs in low-quality domestic cricket like Pakistan do not count alone. First has to be the eye test, which even a kid knows he cannot pass as he has probably the worst stance and technique of all time of all Pakistani batters who ever played an international match.

He is that terrible.
 
Can’t judge someone on 2 games but the problem is you will never know. In Pak new players get lost in obscurity after a couple of failures. I heard he has backing so maybe he is lucky to get away.
 
Yes you can judge especially his two innings normally it would be harsh but he for somereason looked a hack playin at number 3

Fakhar Zaman.

If any of you watched him bat without the reputation you would write him off. Also players like sarfaraz before their purple patch.

The point is that the biggest factor in selection has to be runs. The likes of Fakhar did it at domestic, were given a chance and performed at international. Shamyl was selected, should be given a few chances. Whether we like how he bats or not is not that relevant. Yes technique matters to an extent but if it was that simple you could just pick Umar Amin and Abdullah Shafiq and be done with it.

He hasn't looked good this series because he hasn't scored. That's all that should matter.
 
May be his ABBA ji was in a rush to pick him for Pakistan team.
Yes, I would also blame ABBA Ji for being greedy . Should have waited for 1-2 season more and should have iron out Shamyl's very obvious technical issues before reaching out to Naqvi for Beta Ji's selection . The kid has talent and he will come back stronger but his selction at this point was a bad move.
 
I said it before the game too. If you are stuck with this kid and you want to give him game time, then it’s best to let him play in the position he is most comfortable in. He’s an opener who likes to take on the powerplay by looking to play his shots.

Twice he’s come in outside of the 10 over period with 5 fielders on the rope, so this isn’t what he came through the system from. Give him a chance to have a dash as an opener and see what he’s all about.

Even if you throw Abhishek Sharma or Vaibhav Suryansho at number 3 who comes in after the powerplay, they will also look rubbish IMO.
 
He doesnt enough time against fast bowlers , not naturally talented and dont see any any good technique either.

What you are saying would have been true if the guy could actually put bat on ball.

He is unable to do that against fast bowlers. Im sure you would have seen how he’s always extremely late against pacers.

That shows he’s never played above 135kph bowlers. When his bat swings the ball has already went pass his bat and when it touches, results in a mistimed catch.

So even if he was opening this root cause and basic flaw will not change.
 
Shamyl played 2 pathetic shots in 2 games. His flaws and technical shortcomings are quite visible... Bowlers will expose him any day everyday with such tech.
 
He looks very late on the ball. Should be given next odi too but if he fails in that as well, he should go back to domestic for now..

The stance bending too much, just like his dad for the regime


The kid needs to perform, otherwise the critics will roll him down

agree with this, but two things, fakhar had signficantly more white ball experience when he debuted, if memory serves me right, he had 3000 runs at an average of 50 odd, and he also scored against some decent reserve teams. the issue here is that pak domestic is d"g site now, and theres not enough A games against good A teams.

secondly the flaw is shamyls technique is so blatant, he bends so far over his eyes arent level, and there is no way he can have any idea of where is off stump is. even if he gets a rank ball on the legs, a little bit of in swing and itll go aerial. this isnt world class coaches ironing minor kinks, this is so blatant gali mohala coaches could fix it.

his technique is so bad, that if he actually ends up scoring runs for pak, hed be re writing the entire coaching manual on how to bat. fakhar for all his flaws had parallel eyes, and his head in line with off stump whenever he wasnt slogging.

He’s been playing under 19s and first class cricket scoring a lot of runs how come nobody saw all the technical deficiencies . This means the best way for a Pakistani cricketer to have his faults analysed is to make their debut for Pakistan national team as soon as possible

Im unsure how he progressed in the domestic system. It shows we are finished as a cricketing nation and will remain number 5/6 ranked team. No quality batsmen coming up.

All he faced in domestic was 120-130kph trundlers it looks like. And very few games.

Then miraculously makes it to the national team. Nobody in domestic circle dared question his ability, technique and neither did national team selectors?
 
Big call and I know some here won’t like it - Shamyl and Shahzaib will be our long term openers going forward, possibly in all formats.

20-21 year old kids outperforming most players in domestic cricket in all formats, I don’t see anyone coming close.

I don’t see the likes of Saim and Maaz playing long for Pakistan, unless they shift to middle-order.
 
He’s the closest, closest you are going to get from Pakistan to somehow match Abhishek, Vaibhav or Jaiswal type T20 opener…and those three are DECADES ahead of Pakistan when it comes to intent
 
What about his crouching stance? Can he survive with that? Is this 50 papering over the cracks? PP experts plz answer
 
He needs a full county season under his belt to sort out his technical deficiencies against away moving deliveries short of good length and fuller incoming deliveries as well , talent and intent is very much there and he is the best player of short pitch pacy stuff in domestic cricket right now.
 
Pak batting talent is definitely here.

Saim
Maaz
Shamyl
Shahzaib
Azan

All of them are clearly talented batters and needs a right development guide.

Even Nafay is highly talented but has too many weaknesses.

The likes of Shamyl and Shahzaib can introduce a change in approach.

Salute to the selectors for debuting Shamyl at international level after just one good season. Such stupidity is not done in proper set ups.

Yeah well we ain’t seeing Shahzaib in this tournament so I don’t even know. From what I’ve seen of him he’s more technical than he is fearless.

How has no PSL team picked him up? Shahzaib played a few good innings in National T20, he is technical but has improved.
