I have to disagree with you here. What your team requires are a bunch of guys who can be impactful & decisive, technical correctness doesn't ensure match winning capacity in this era. Of course I am only talking about white ball cricket. You need to look at all the top dogs & their biggest match winners in the last 10/15 years to understand what I am trying to convey. Dhawan doesn't really possess a supreme technique compared to Fakhar, only marginally better. That didn't stop him from becoming an icc tournament monster for 6 years. Finch is another guy who had horrible technique; Warner, Roy, Hales, Head, Guptill, Taylor, Rohit, Dilshan, Gayle I could go on & on. Not a single one of these guys possess proper technique like Virat, Kane or Root. That hasn't really hindered these guys from winning match after match. White ball batting has arrived on such a state today where technique & copybook don't really matter. What matters is intent & impact.
Because Pak cricket culture is extremely outdated, timid & conservative where it's still stuck more or less with the "92" formula it becomes really difficult for players of such caliber to flourish. If you have a guy who can strike the ball powerfully & just play without fear you should get that boy in the main setup & keep encouraging him. Pak have found few of these guys. No I don't mean Asif or Khushdil, specially the latter one is horrendous, should never ever be featured again in international cricket. Harris, Ayub & Haider could have been those guys. Yes Harris is in the squad, but that's exactly where he has been since forever, when will he be allowed to play atleast 10 games freely without the anxiety of getting dropped? Why isn't Ayub already in the squad, specially considering Fakhar & Imam aren't exactly setting the world on fire these days. Finally Haider, what a horrible way of nurturing a proper talent! I know critics will say he was given opportunities which he squandered. But where did he play? A proper top order batsman was reduced to a mere finishing role at 6/7 simply because the golden boys wouldn't let go of their position. Even though he made that impressive debut as a top order batsman & all the great performances in under 19 circuit & psl which brought him into the international arena came from that same order. Just because the guy has a long handle they thought he would be the ideal finisher. After last wc if they would have rectified their errors & brought these guys in the team there is a possibility minimum one of them if not two would have already settled themselves in the main eleven.
Regarding Fakhar, I am afraid it's just not his amateur technique, sure it's one of the biggest reasons of his recent failures, but there's a bit more I feel. He is surrounded by a bunch of selfish meek accumulators who are always playing for their personal glory, stats & ranking. What's even more frightening is that those guys are never held responsible or get called out for their timid approach. Even if someone dares to raise some questions they are hounded by thousands of fans, pr, media & most unfortunately by those guys themselves. So basically they don't even have to try to improve & add another gear. Which always leaves Fakhar as the sole one responsible to take risks, to unsettle opposition from the get go. Whether he gets that start or not, the other three never try & go their merry go round way. This is absolutely not fair, this is not the way a top tier batting should function. Not just SENAI, no team plays with this bizzare strategy where only one guy has to go hard & the rest of them can play the way they wish irrespective of match situation & demand. Maybe this has caught Up Fakhar, confused him & made him timid. Because ultimately he is also thinking about safety first, otherwise there is no other rational explanation to the way he played the last innings.
Anyways miracles obviously happen like they happened in 92 or 17 but under current skipper & his clique with their outdated timid approach I don't expect Pak to lift the wc, infact reaching knockouts is going to be a sure-fire struggle.
