Where is Jahandad Khan? Wasn't he one of the standouts in QeA last season?

Arafat Minhas batted at 8 last match and he is batting at 7 in this one. Not sure how you're going to develop true genuine all rounders by pushing them so low in the domestic matches. Shahid Aziz for example is batting at 8 too and then we ask ourselves why we struggle to produce genuine all rounders and pace allrounders in particular. Jahandad isn't playing while there should be a push to give opportunities Shahid Aziz higher in the order so he can develop his batting and become a genuine allrounder.

Qasim Akram not playing in this tournament seems quite ridiculous too. I get being unhappy with his poor performances in other formats but he has a 45 average in FC. Middle order batsmen too which hardly exist in Pakistan and is only 22 but being disregarded like he's a bum.

I am sure I could comb through the FC and find some more stupid things happening but these stood out to me.

Furthermore, why are players like Hasan Nawaz being taken out of FC games so they can go to some useless white ball camp that won't be any use. IMO he should be playing FC so he can tighten up his defence a bit so if he does face tricky tracks like we saw in UAE, he has some idea on how to navigate it. He seems to struggle being able to rotate the strike and there's an opportunity to help improve that as well.

Multan lead by 233 runs with three wickets remaining in first innings

Faisalabad 212 all out, 61.2 overs (Ali Shan 95, Atiq-ur-Rehman 46, Ahmed Safi Abdullah 22; Aamer Yamin 6-37, Mohammad Shan 2-79)

Multan 445-7, 107.2 overs (Arafat Minhas 82 not out, Imran Rafiq 70, Waqar Hussain 67, Sharoon Siraj 64, Bismillah Khan 47, Ali Usman 33 not out, Zain Abbas 30; Shahid Ali 3-102)
 
Like always dead pitches so the runs scored here are probably worth half. If Shamyl continues his streak, with his backing he will have a great chance of making the team :p On the bowling side things look as bleak as ever with Zahid Mahmood topping the charts so far.

People of pakistan are known for trolling its own players. They feel happy to troll..they even don't spare Babar .. if someone father or relative have a good contacts or in some influential position they called him parchi. Imam ul Haq is a very hardworking and intelligent player they called him parchi. I don't know shamyl Hussain background and i don't care who is he..all I want to see how he bat ,his confidence, his knowledge about the game and the hunger for runs

With the quality of players being generally poor its difficult to judge but I have seen small snippets and so far I liked the look of Awais Azan, Mohsin (Sialkot) Farooq from FATA, Abdullah from Karachi and amongst thr bowlers Obaid has bowled with good consistent pace and Rameez the leg spinner.
