[PICTURES/VIDEOS] The era of Faheem Ashraf starts now

I don't think he can pull off an innings like this in any match which is not a dead rubber like this one.

it was not a dead rubber, the top two teams play a play off match where the loser still gets an extra chance to move to the final
 
Faheem is ok in domestic cricket but I doubt he will be able to bat like this against international teams.
 
PCB on reason for Faheem's inclusion in the Asia Cup and AFG v PAK squads:

Faheem returns to the side after two years and further adds to the balance of the side as a fast bowling all-rounder. His last outing in the format was during Pakistan’s three-match away series against England in July 2021.


Inzamam-ul-Haq:

“We lacked pace-bowling all-rounders, as all the all-rounders we currently have are spinners,”

“We are looking towards the ICC Cricket World Cup later this year, and Faheem Ashraf will come in handy in India,”

“Faheem Ashraf is number one among all the pace-bowling all-rounders in the domestic.”

Has the era started? Or has it started and stopped or not started at all?

Another chance for him!
 
If he can bowl 10 overs and keep his economy under 6 and add 25+ runs at a good rate he could do the 4th bowlers job. But he would be playing for Nawaz’s spot and hope Iftikhar and Agha can bowl well.
 
Faheem an All rounder? He has 5 out of 6 ‘hit me’ balls, with the 6th ball usually a borderline wide… scores less than a run a ball 15… liability in the field…

I think people are over reacting. He is unlikely to play much anyways considering the irrelevance of a fast bowling all-rounder in subcontinental conditions.

I would take him over Jamal who seems like a no ball king. Faheem is more reliable.

😂 😝 😆 good observation though. He can only get wicket off K Rahul trying to steer third man and inside edge to wickets.most useless player after Asif Ali Haider and Kushdil Shah

Lol he is inferior to Pandya. Pandya bowls at 140-144 km/hr and bowls a heavy nasty bouncer. Pandya is a reliable batsman who can hit at will.

Faheem bowls at 127-132 km/hr, his bouncer is non existent and he has never delivered with the bat.

Spot on no comparison
 
Kamran Akmal:

“The Indian white-ball team is never complete without Hardik Pandya. He is there every time an Indian team is announced in white-ball cricket. You look at his record, he has won matches for his team with both, bat and ball. It is time Faheem Ashraf also starts to perform like him,”

“It has been so long now, he has to show some maturity. I want Faheem Ashraf to be a surety in Pakistan's white-ball team whenever it's announced yet. He has to develop himself as all-rounder. He has to show that responsibility.”

“It's a big thing for him that the team management, the coach, Babar, and even Inzamam bhai, who has just arrived, have all shown faith in him. He doesn't have noteworthy performances of late, in domestic cricket as well as in PSL. Despite that, they're showing confidence on him and it's time he does justice to it,”
 
Jamal is the paciest all rounder we have in our domestic cricket but his batting is not as well developed yet where Faheem has an advantage.

He has scored more than 25 once in his ODI career.
 
M Wasim jr and Faheem both needed for the Asia Cup and Afghanistan series?
 
I don’t think Faheem is the right pick. If he’s the best fast bowling all rounder we have in Pakistan, better not to play a fast bowling all rounder at all.

With that said, I don’t think his bowling is all that bad. He’s decently economical with his 4th sump line / wicket to wicket.

Additionally he’s also a pretty clean hitter but he hasn’t managed to fix his his flaws and get more consistent scores.

It’s the combination of his lack of improvement in batting and pretty one dimensional bowling that doesn’t cut him out for international games and therefore would rather have a spinning all rounder in the team.
 
If wasim jr develops his batting a little ( he has the germs) He'd be a perfect bowling allrounder. SSA ainn't no mug with a bat these days either.
 
The lad has had quite a few chances.

Some would say more chances than he deserves.

I think it's time to start delivering on a consistent basis now, or move on from him.
 
Gets his first chance in the Asia Cup vs Bangladesh tomorrow - good performance there and he could be in the XI vs India on Sunday
 
Maybe we should have selected him after our bowling performance today 😂
 
So Faheem Ashraf plays nearly all the Asia Cup matches and does decently yet he gets dropped for Wasim Jnr? How does that work?
 
Faisalabad captain Faheem Ashraf made an unbeaten 60 with the help of two sixes and two fours.
 
Unfortunately he is the best all rounder in Pakistan has he done anything off note in domestic, the charm with these kind of players is that they add balance to the side, No.7/8 batsman who should chip in with 25-30 runs and bowl 15 economical overs with and odd wicket

Agreed. He may get a chance in Australia
 
He is just a below average player at international level and has been given number of opportunities already.

PCB should consider now investing in a young quality all-rounder from domestic circuit, who can get ready by the next t20 world cup.

"young quality allrounder" unfortunately these kinds of player not found in Pakistan
 
I think that inconsistent opportunities have made faheem ashraf somewhat shaky.

In this World Cup he could have proven to be a bit handy with both bat and ball.
 
Most useless international cricketer produced by Pakistan, wasted 7 years on him and he is still in test eleven , that's what is wrong with Pakistan cricket. Any other average cricketer would have improved a lot after playing international cricket for 7 years.
 
How Rana Faheem reached international cricket and then got as many games is one of the great miracles of our times :faheem
 
Failed yet again with the bat by playing a poor shot with just 3 balls remaining in the day. ATM he bowling a good tight line against PM IX.

He bowled 5 overs and just gave away 7 runs. Should keep on bowling a tighter line here and be patient, wicket will come eventually.

Absolutely, biggest fraud of the era not just in pakistan but across the cricketing world. Its actually insane how this guy keeps on getting selected.
 
Faheem's economy looks like Mcgrath or Wasim Akram is bowling in these warm-up games but when the real test arrives, he looks like bowling with no arm.
 
He is amongst the least skilled bowlers ever to play for PK. He cant hit the seam at 80mph and he can't swing it, other than that he is really good
 
More than era it's the misery of Faheem Ashraf hopefully the direct competition with Jamal will solve his case
 
Disappointed with Fahim. He's a senior player now with 6.5 years of international experience but was outbowled by a debutant. We know he's not a strike bowler so at least hold up an end.
 
He seems confused regarding his role as a Test bowler.

Attacking option?
Defensive option?
Making up the numbers?

He is playing because he can bat, otherwise the tail is very long. As I said a few times he is amongst the least skilled bowlers to ever play for PK. How the hell can you not hit the seam or swing the ball at 80mph.

Why are you disappointed. He is a terrible bowler.
 
Could not do much with the ball and now fails with the bat as well. For how long do we have to keep persisiting with Faheem?

I don't see the point of him in this series. Better to try Wasim Jr
 
First 10 overs vs Next 10 over:

first 10 overs were bowled by Khurram and SHaheen and then Lord Faheem and Jamal came and they were all over the place especially Faheem gave some freebies.

Said this all along, he's a bits and pieces cricketer who has no place in red ball international cricket.

Bowling average nearly 39 and a batting average of 27 - that's not going to frighten any opposition is it.
 
This guy is wasting a spot. I have said it from day one a horrendous cricketer, can’t bat and can’t bowl. What a pathetic performances time after time after time. I just don’t understand how the team management and captain are so brainless that they can never get the combination right.

Play a specialist bowler in his place as this man can not score runs. I’d rather have a proper bowler than this piece of rubbish
 
This guy must have some big connections. A tool of a cricketer but he's getting test caps being gifted to him.
 
Faheem an Al rounder? Guy has 5 out of 6 ‘hit me’ balls, with the 6th ball usually a borderline wide… scores less than a run a ball 15… liability in the field…
 
He is an 8 and because we don't have an 8 or 9, he gets selected. He is a terrible bowler,can't get the ball off the straight and hasn't improved one iota since he first started playing. At least at the start he was a bit quicker than this.
 
It would be a big mistake to call him an all-rounder. He is a mediocre bowler only. He is a big liability.
 
Bad bowler. Bad fitness. Bad batsman.

From all-rounder to all-around terrible.

His role is to make up numbers :faheem

The guy can't even do that.

The Pakistan Test cap's value is going down quicker than the Pakistani rupee.

Those groupings are absolutely horrible from Faheem and Aamer. That too at Faheem's pace. Not Test quality .

You can't release pressure like that in Australia. You have to be at the batters more often than not and build up pressure.
 
Single-handedly release the pressure created by Afridi and Shahzad in the first 10 overs. Hopefully will bowl better tomorrow
 
Unable to understand what Faheem Ashraf is trying to do, no energy no planning and no accuracy
 
It's a mystery why Ammad Butt never got chances to play for Pakistan. Because he didn't have a parchi? Faheem visited Nawaz Sharif at Avenfield, it is clear he has political backing.
