There are certain players in PSL teams that I as a fan would not want to see in next years PSL. Some have pass their retirement age and others are not fit for this fast format.

I wouldn’t want to see the following players:

Khuram Manzoor
Asad Shafiq
Umer Akmal
Misbah
Ahmed Shahzad
TS Mills
Iftikhar

Just to name a few. There are plenty of good players out there but the culture or seniority and connections is keeping them out.
 
Misbah is retiring this year anyway

Nothing wrong with Akmal and Shahzad playing in PSL

Rest I agree with

The only thing wrong with UA and Shehzad playing in the PSL is performance. I'm fine with them playing if their performing but if there not there is no reason for them to be picked.
 
Kamran Akmal
Babar Azam
Umar Akmal
Ahmed Shehzad
Sohaib Maqsood
 
BunnyRabbit- Bro did you see the game today? Unfortunately he is not an international level bowler. We have bowlers like Gul warming bench while this guy is getting picked for consistently.

There is no way Akmal brothers are going away from PSL. They will be there for few more years.
 
Misbah
Watson
McCullum
Asad Shafiq
McCullum
Khurram Manzoor
Kamran Akmal
Yasir Shah (good player but from the management's strategy it seems like he has no future in LOI)

With 581 runs, Shehzad is the top scorer in the PSL. On what basis should he not play? Just because you have a problem with him?

In both the first two seasons, his team played in the final, so it is not as if his runs come at a cost to the team.

There's a draft for a reason, it's not like they're being forced to pick them or picking selfie and Akmal for their nonexistent diehard fanbase, we just think we have more quality than we actually do, if players that have flopped internationally are being picked, it's largely because there isn't a better alternative. Very strange criticism tbh, Akmal and particularly Shehzad has a solid PSL track record.

I'm taking about recent form his past scores have been 0, 38 & 11.

There is a graphic here somewhere (can't remember which thread) which shows the Shehzads average in the first season where it was really high and the last couple of seasons where he has been mediocre to say the least. Maybe someone can post it here.

The thing with you is once you make up your mind it is very hard for you to be subjective later on and change/modify your views. Since you are studying to be a doctor I hope you will not be as obstinate as peoples well being would be at stake.

Btw are you still doing your MBBS or are you currently specializing in a specific field?
 
Ahmed Shehzad
Hafeez
Umar akmal
Kamran akmal
Misbah
Ifthikar ahmed
Shahid afridi
Khuram manzoor
Sohail tanveer
Asad shafiq
Umar gul
 
Isn't it franchises choice which player they would like to select?
If any franchise feels the need to have any of the player in the squad they would have regardless of general public's opinions.
 
Khurrum
Tabish Khan
Delport
Asad
Anwar
Samit Patel
Umar Gul
Iftikhar
Asif Ali

This has been the worst PSL edition thus far.
 
The list is growing, but it seems that the ready-made replacements aren't there for all of them.
 
It's not about who we want/don't want. The franchises are picking their team, the team they believe will give them the best chance at winning. Sure we want younger players in that situation but at the end of the day its their investment, their money, their call.
 
Kamran Akmal should not be playing. He should be retired.
 
Asad Shafiq is a no-brainer. Keep him away from all T20s.

U19 team has really good Openers but they were ignored. There are players like Imam ul Haq, Mukhtar Ahmed, Nauman Anwar, Awais Zia, Naveed Yasin, Bismillah Khan, Rafitullah who are miles ahead of Shafiq and Khuram when it comes to providing quick starts.

How on earth can you not select Imran Khan Sr, Ihsan Adil, Sadaf...etc
