you are as smart as our selectors
can you imagine Azam Khan hitting even one boundary of a bowler like Anrich Nortje or Mark Wood in Australia? Mohammad HAris did that as a 21 yr old who played without fear in the t20 WC who cares about the Asian games but I guess you are just as smart as our genius selectors
Have I denied his talent?
wow what a great comeback almost as good as Azam Khan's comeback, lol khush raho bhai Azam Khan will get a 100 more chances and 40 more 'comebacks' . Mohammad Haris ki development nai hui at age 21 we should definitely drop him for this WC and the coming ones because Asian games showcased his real talent instead of smashing 150kph plus bowlers in Australia as a 20 yr old on the biggest stage
I don't care about Azam Khan or no Azam Khan.
not saying he should be in the ODI team or Test team, but he proved himself on the highest stage in a WC at the age of 20 dont care about his stats he has shown with his bravery and skill that his ceiling is higher so he needs to be given a longer run in the T20 side.
Haris was dropped to make way for Azam Khan. It is all politics I am afraid.
It was shocking tbh. Haris was your number 1 choice to replace riz incase he is injured etc, but out of the blue moon, Azam and Haseebullah get selected over him in the name of giving rest to a guy (Haris) who has not even played that much cricket that ne needed to rest. LOL
yea and if he needed to rest then why let him play BPL, he didnt end up playing because of PCB typical garbage administration skills anyway
He is never going to develop by playing T20's.
agreed, but he should be in T20 international team for now, better than our fat 'power hitters'. Poor culture set by players like Shadab Khan who end up playing all formats and on a T20 diet throughout the year
Well we know he was actively prevented from playing BPL.
I reckon it's a good time to polish the game. He seriously can and needs a massive PSL season
On merit azam deserves a go ahead atm.
Zalmi should trade him for Irfan Khan Niazi
Honestly whether Mo Haris switches over to another PSL franchise or not, one thing is clear - he needs to work on his batting.
I disagree about him being talented. I don't mind him being in the squad as a lower order hitter for T20 ONLY, but he hasn't been the ideal no 7 I wanted him to be.
Very very good argument. Don't think I have an answer to that one.
If only PCB had some sense now Azam Khan is still back and Haris is dropped
Tbh, Fakhar Zaman should not be compared to Haris. Zaman has played enough clutch knocks for Pakistan in big tournaments where you can disregard his current form because that's just the kind of player that he is.
Lol can you provide any justification for why MH is not talented? Don’t give me the usual verbal diarrhoea, I want some proper facts.
You want proper facts, yet you give me an opinion as to what you think is good? Lol.
What’s wrong with his technique and timing? He times the ball better than anyone in the dugout outside of Saim. This is evident from his effortless strokes.
I completely disagree.
I literally stated that the 4 and 6 he played before had zero footwork.
Literally straight after that 0:35 time stamp he edges it and it goes over the keepers head
.He needs to perform. You cannot average less than Azam Khan (which he did in the PSL) and expect to make the team.
It's evident now that Wahab doesn't want him in the side.
Fakhar batted at 4 against New Zealand and did decently well.
Haris relies on brute force and pace on he has no footwork.
He did pretty well in the last PSL.
Wahab definitely has something against Haris.
Really sad to see.
Yep he did.
Exactly my point, and everyone screaming for him randomly right now will do well to realize Haris needs to work hard on his game and come back a better player. His recent performances have been downright garbage. Saim is an example of an insane talent that made his way into the team with his performances so far.
I agree he isn't better than Riz at this point.
What I don’t understand is why we can give an almost infinite rope to literal street level players like Khushdil Shah who have never looked close to being international quality but discard Haris after a handful of failures when he has proven several times that he is international quality?
Because Khushdil shah is a Misbah buddy while misbah was coach and selector
Bro you overestimate Misbah’s influence over Pakistan cricket…
Tbh, Rizwan isn't a t20 batsmen. He's a joke of a t20 bat.
How am I overestimating the influence of
Khushdil was a part of the team even after Misbah’s removal.
That's true, So are rizwan and babar opening, infact so is chacha despite having a terrible avg and a horrific sr for someone who bats in the middle and in his entire long 4 year career has only 4 notable innings, 2 of them in odi against c string NZ and one against Nepal, and one in t20 against SA. Otherwise he's failed horrifically in every single encounter.
Rizwan struggled in the middle-order but he averages 56 @ 130 as opener in the format. These are exceptional numbers well and truly beyond Haris.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Khushdil played 37 times for Pakistan which is more than he deserved, but Haris at this point in time does not deserve any chances either.
Usman completely outshone Haris in the PSL so he deserves to be selected ahead of him. Both Haris and Azam are equally poor with the bat, but yes I wouldn't mind him playing ahead of Azam because at least he is sharp in the field.
That's a good response from Babar. The players that Haris is competing against have all outperformed him, even Azam who I don't rate at all was better than him in the PSL. Rizwan is currently leagues above Haris and the only way that gap will close is through hard work and performances not moaning on social media or through his friends in the media.
