With the selectors again thinking about selecting Sarfraz Ahmed and dropping Adnan Akmal, I feel it is a shame to ignore the talented Rizwan who is currently doing well in the Domestic Circuit. I will look at some potential Wicketkeeping Batsman (including Rizwan) that could replace Sarfaraz/Adnan and make the spot permanently their own in the next 2-3 years. I am emphasising their batting skills as a Good keeper that can not bat is of little use(Salman) wheras batsman that keep regularly or even occasionally are much more useful as it is easier to improve keeping skills than improving your batting drastically. I Will write their names and their current stats and write updates when they have good knocks and then also update their stats from time to time.
All of these players have their own individual threads on PakPassion but I think it would be good to have all the Good Batting wk candidates in a single thread so we can compare and contrast them. Obviously Rizwan is the only one playing Departmental Cricket at the moment so his average is bound to be lower since he is playing against better bowlers. However, one should remember that although the bowlers are easier in Regional, its no mean feat having a 45+ avg in regional as then every other batsman would have it so you must still be talented to pile the runs even in Regional. So far in 13/14 First Class Regional Rehan afridi with 91 average in 6 games so far and Siddiq with 63 average in 6 gamesv
Also, there is the argument that one or two of these players haven't played enough matches, but regardless, they have started well and Insha Allah, as time goes on, they will continue their good performances in future.

Also if anyone knows of any other promising young Wicketkeeping Batsman, I will add into OP and stats if suitable.
