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

Faheem Ashraf excelled with an all-round performance for Fortune Barishal against Rangpur Riders in the BPL 2025, scoring 20 runs off 6 balls and taking 1/30 in 4 overs.
 
This guy could have been such a good alrounder for Pak. I remember there was a year where his batting was looking VERY solid. But then he just suddenly went downhill in both departments.

Don't know what happened but I felt that he had a lot of potential
 
87 international wickets
183 first-class wickets
188 T20 wickets
1222 international runs
1838 T20 runs
6 T20 fifties
2x PSL Winner

Happy Birthday to our very own Rana g "FAHEEM ASHRAF"
 
He has been in good batting knick for a year in the shorter format. If he does well in PSL with bat and ball. He may find his place in the side again.
 
Rana g leading the charts in BPL 2025.

Today he was brilliant again. 4 overs 12 runs and 3 wickets for Fortune Barishal against Chittagong Kings.

The mighty all rounder is back averages 10 with bat and in 40s with ball.

Hopefully Rizwan will pick an either batsman or a bowler than this crap.
 
Impossible to defend his selection.

Better to have no fast bowling all-rounder in the squad than this. Could have added a specialist opener or spinner.
 
Was the best seam allrounder in Champions One Day Cup.

Aamer Jamal got smashed and scored only 4 runs.

If you are hell bent on picking a seam allrounder , it doesn't get better than Faheem Ashraf for Pakistan.

Doesn't matter what he did there. He is a ttf. You get nothing by recycling trash.

Why should they be hell bent on picking a seam AR to begin with? They shouldn't.

And if they are (which they shouldn't) Abbas Afridi anyday over Faheem since he isn't a ttf.

That's my point. They shouldn't be picking players with non existent skill sets.

They should play a combination for the players they actually have.

Faheem Ashraf preferred over this guy, shocking another blunder by PCB, he can reverse it in death overs
 
Gut feel is it will be hard to get more than 15 overs of spin out on flat wickets of Pak and Dubai. Especially more so if there is dew effect.

4 seam up options for any team is a must and I think India and NZ have somewhat punted too much on efficacy of their spin allrounders.

Like it or not, Faheem is a steady bowler good to bowl 5-7 reasonable overs per match and can cover up bad day of one of 4 main bowlers.
 
Wasim Akram on Faheem Ashraf inclusion

“He is a talented cricketer. But in the last 20 matches, his bowling average is 100 and he averages nine with the bat. He came out of the blue"
 
Aqib Javed says that the idea behind including Faheem was having someone who can bowl seam and bat in the Top 7.

My question for Aqib Javed is has he seen Faheem Ashraf's batting average?

I can't think of any player in the world who bats at No. 7 and averages 10.6 with the bat. He doesn't even have a good strike-rate.

Shaheen and Naseem not only average more with the bat than Faheem Ashraf, but also have a better strike-rate than him.
 
Lol he is one of the biggest sifarshi and one of the worst player ever to play international cricket.
He averages 10 with the bat in odis and 47 with the ball and here due to sifarish he is selected as premiere all-rounder from nowhere.
Pathetic player with pathetic performance.

The guy offers little with the ball. He would make be decent 4th seamer in some conditions but definitely not a 3rd seamer on flat tracks in Karachi or Lahore.

Absolutely. It's very poor from Rizwan not to utilize all available resources to win games, just because he's unhappy with certain players.
