So then answer what I asked you. What year did Misbah employ the RizBar template? What year did I start my campaign of persecution against the PCB for this decision?

Saud was our top scorer vs India and they dropped him for Imam and Tayyab ? Atleast get your accumulators right. Khushdil will fail in NZ as he can't handle bounce. M Harris should do well here.

NZ is a tough place to start your career as a subcontinent batsman. I remember Abdullah Shafique and Haider Ali completely failed there as newbies. Tim Southee out bounced them ! Now we have brought a new lot who ideally should've made their debuts in home series. T20 lineup from this squad;

M Harris
Hassan Nawaz/Omair
Salman
Shadab
Niazi
Sammad
Jahandad
Shaheen
Abbas
Harris
Abrar/Sufyan

Saud got his runs against the spinners he could not hit the ball outside the circle when the pacers were in the attack.
 
Even if Pakistan loose the t20 series we must give the youngsters a fair chance.

Pakistan name ODI and T20I squads for New Zealand tour​


Salman Ali Agha has been named Pakistan’s T20I captain, with Shadab Khan as vice-captain, for the five-match T20I series against New Zealand from 16-26 March. Mohammad Rizwan will continue as ODI captain, with Salman serving as his deputy for the three 50-over matches scheduled at the backend of the tour from 29 March to 5 April.

The decision to appoint Salman and Shadab as T20I captain and vice-captain, respectively, has been made with an eye on two major upcoming tournaments - the ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup 2025 (September 2025) and the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 (February/March 2026). Salman previously led Pakistan in a T20I series against Zimbabwe last year, winning 2-1.

As part of preparations for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan is set to play a minimum of five T20Is in the ACC Asia Cup 2025 and three T20Is each against West Indies (away, July), Afghanistan (home, August), Ireland (home, September), South Africa (home, September/October), Sri Lanka (home, November) and Australia (home, January 2026).

Mohammad Rizwan will continue leading the ODI side as Pakistan builds towards the ICC Men’s 50-over Cricket World Cup 2027, which will take place in Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe in October/November 2027.

Pakistan squads for New Zealand tour:

T20I squad - Salman Ali Agha (captain), Shadab Khan (vice-captain), Abdul Samad, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Hasan Nawaz, Jahandad Khan, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Haris, Muhammad Irfan Khan, Omair Bin Yousaf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Sufyan Moqim and Usman Khan

ODI squad - Mohammad Rizwan (captain), Salman Ali Agha (vice-captain), Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Akif Javed, Babar Azam, Faheem Ashraf, Imam-ul-Haq, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Muhammad Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Sufyan Moqim and Tayyab Tahir. A wicketkeeper/batter will be added to the ODI squad following the T20Is

In the T20I squad, there are three uncapped players – Abdul Samad, Hasan Nawaz and Mohammad Ali – while Akif Javed and Mohammad Ali the two players who have yet to debut in ODIs. The four players have been rewarded for their impressive performances in the Champions One-Day and T20 Cups.

In the Champions T20 Cup, Abdul Samad scored 115 runs at a strike-rate of 166.67 after aggregating 145 runs at a strike-rate of 122.88 in the Champions One-Day Cup. Likewise, Hasan Nawaz had a staller Champions T20 Cup, finishing as the second leading run-getter with 312 runs at a strike-rate of 142.47. Mohammad Ali with 22 wickets was the leading wicket-taker in Champions T20 Cup, while he took three wickets in the Champions One-Day Cup.

Akif Javed has been selected in the ODI side after his seven wickets in five Champions One-Day Cup matches, while he took 15 wickets in the Champions T20 Cup.

Openers Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub were not considered for either format on medical advice. Fakhar suffered a left lower intercostal muscle sprain during Pakistan’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 opener against New Zealand, while Saim is recovering from a right ankle fracture sustained on the first day of the Cape Town Test against South Africa in January. Both are expected to be fully fit for the HBL Pakistan Super League 10, starting in Rawalpindi on 11 April 2025.

Aqib Javed will continue as interim head coach for the New Zealand tour. His original term was until the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but he has been asked to extend his tenure while the search for a permanent head coach begins. Mohammad Yousuf has been appointed as batting coach.

Player Support Personnel - Naveed Akram Cheema (team manager), Aqib Javed (interim head coach), Azhar Mahmood (assistant coach), Mohammad Yousuf (batting coach), Mohammad Masroor (fielding coach), Cliffe Deacon (physiotherapist), Drikus Saiman (strength and conditioning coach), Talha Butt (analyst), Irtiza Komail (security manager), Dr Wajid Ali Rafai (team doctor), Syed Naeem Ahmad (media and digital manager) and Sergio Basil Mullins (masseur).

New Zealand tour schedule:

16 Mar – first T20I, Hagley Oval, Christchurch

18 Mar – second T20I, University Oval, Dunedin

21 Mar – third T20I, Eden Park, Auckland

23 Mar – fourth T20I, Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui

26 Mar – fifth T20I, Sky Stadium, Wellington

29 Mar – first ODI, McLean Park, Napier

2 Apr – second ODI, Seddon Park, Hamilton

5 Apr – third ODI, Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui

So from ODIs, Saud, Kamran & Usman are cleverly dropped for no reason and Babar & Imam are still retained. ODI fast bowling is looking very weak
 
PCB selectors are crazy. First they brought Usman in for missing opener because Abdullah was a walking wicket. then they brought imam back and usman was still sitting on the bench.

Now they brought back that walking wicket Abdullah back. This is crazy. Crazy stuff... Aaqbi javed's mindless selections are a joke.

This Salman Agha bubble will burst and there will be humiliation for everyone insulting Rizwan and Babar. Let's see the next 10 T20Is without Rizwan and Babar. For the sake of the anti Rizwan brigade, I hope they win at least 7 of the 10 games. If not I will put everyone on watch.

T20 World Cup in India. We will see where we stand with a new approach.

Plus inclusions of Saim and Fakhar. Not Babar and Rizwan. That will give us the accurate picture.

Maybe inclusions of Khushdil, Iftikhar and Asif Ali too at some point, they are not the worst lower order T20 hitters.

Salman Agha had a decent PSL season. He may not be cut for T20s but atleast he shows intent. Babar and Rizwan play with bad neeyat in T20Is.

Yes good squad , but lets be clear the expectation is that young team was selected and they will play ...

Unfortunately with the fear of failure , fear of losing and losing captaincy they are reluctant to feature new faces at the forefront.

This is what will happen.... Usman Khan without nothing to show of as performance has become the senior player just being there in the side for nearly 10-12 months now.. So he will find a place in the 11 and probably as an opener , and his partner will be Haris and there will no place for Hasan Nawaz though he should be the first one there on the list as opener... If Agha selects him in the first T20 then hats off..

similarly the seniors get the first go... seniors in this squad now will form the team 11 the rest to warm the bench until the series has a result probably the 4th or 5th T2O they will get a chance. Who are seniors in the T2O squad now

  1. Agha
  2. Shadab
  3. Shaheen
  4. Rauf
  5. Usman khan
  6. Khushdil
  7. Abrar
  8. Haris (wk)
  9. Abbas
  10. Irfan khan
  11. Sufyan Muqeem

    the remaining will have to sit in the dugout carrying drinks and towel and wait for their turn when the so called senior fails or the series is lost....

    I hope Agha listens to Mike Hesson his ISLU coach advice in his youtube channel on how to select a team 11... he clearly gives a outline what to do.. Define roles and choose what u need > choose player who can do the role and then select the 11.... In PCT seniority bhaijaan comes first no matter what even if he is a masseur he will be the first name in the sheet just because he was in the team in prev tours...

Shan actually was a better option than Imam and Abdullah in NZ.

Exactly .. 100% agree ... Imam will surely out in first over , his regular knick to the keeper or first slip and abdullah with his form and technique busted , with the angling of the bat coming from 3rd slip , becomes an LBW candidate or bowled easliy in NZ and both will be peppered with short balls , especially Imams weakness...

Shan is better suited for NZ... I would make the same test no. 3 and 4 in ODIs too..

  1. Saim
  2. Fakhar/Shafique
  3. Shan
  4. Babar
  5. Agha
  6. Rizwan( he should pushed down to ensure he plays less dot balls, hopefully his torture ends soon in ODIs.)
  7. Irfan Khan / Arafat Minhas
  8. Abbas Afridi
  9. Naseem

Imam should be our t20 opener imo. Genuinely I mean it. It's the only way rizwan can come back into the fold and the likes of you and @daytrader can use the classic "I told you so" excuse.

To this date I never understood Misbah's philosophy. He promoted imam as a t20 opener to destroy Sarfraz once and for all yet then he decided to make rizwan and babar t20 openers 🤣🤣.

Was he trying to ruin Babar and Rizwan as well? Is misbah secretly against rizwan as well?

There is no place for Rizwan in t20 side. After this when Saim and Fakhar will come in . Rizwan can’t play below opener in t20s . So Rizwan is done and dusted unless Misbah comes as selector or coach . Babar might come back and play at 3 in future . But Rizwan is absolutely not needed .

Very good XI

Batting all the way to number 10

You probably need a strike fast bowler. Abbas and Jahandad are fine as 2nd/3rd seamers, both useful batters too. Also I would prefer Abrar instead of Sufyan.

Bro do you realise that not everyone is a hater? This thread is about agha but I'm against agha for t20. He is not a t20 player and hence will make a horrible captain.

He is no better then Babar and rizwan which is why Pakistan will still lose to NZ.

But I have nothing against babar or rizwan as players are captains. I hate rizzu for taking falhar's place and hate them as captains.

As players i have no hate towards them, but I say it as is. They are not good players. Their okay at their peak, and horrible at their worst.

Currently Agha is a better batsmen then both of them on current form In odi and test cricket.

Key players who will eventually become part of Pakistan's limited overs side are missing. If merit is given respect.

Haider Ali
Khawaja Nafay
Mubasir Khan
Saad Masood
Arafat Minhas
Zaman Khan
Aamer Jamal

Too many top order batsmen we have these days. I think Haris and Niazi should be groomed as lower middle order hitters
 
New Zealand T20 side would be missing around 10 first choice players because most were part of the Champions Trophy and the turnaround is just about s week

Of those Arafat seems to be the only viable all format long term option and should definitely be fast tracked.
Also Mubasir's chance is now definitely overdue, he has done more than enough to merit selection in Tests and ODIs.
I strongly feel these two should be a part of Pakistan's selection mix especially now that our home strategy is based on spin.

Haider deserves another go but I doubt he will capitalize on it.
Nafay doesn't seem to be good enough.
 
Khusdil Shah performance in CT is actually bad for Pakistan cricket future. Why we are continuing with him & not giving opportunity to younger Arafat Minhas

Sarfraz has opened like once or twice I think but he's never been a genuine opener. Imam is an opener so obviously he should open if he's selected.

As for RizBar, Misbah did promote them but he continued to experiment even till hsi last match before resigning. He had Sharjeel as an opener
 
Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi didn't hold back in his assessment of Pakistan's cricketing setup, comparing it to a critically ill patient. Afridi's remarks come after Pakistan were knocked out in the group stage of the Champions Trophy without a win, facing defeats to arch-rivals India and New Zealand. Their match against Bangladesh was washed out in Rawalpindi.

“All the time we talk about preparations, and when an event comes and we flop, then we talk about surgery. Fact is, Pakistan cricket is in ICU because of incorrect decisions.” Afridi said, as quoted by PTI.

Afridi also openly criticized the return of all-rounder Shadab Khan to the national T20 squad, questioning the selection process and pointing to broader issues plaguing Pakistan cricket.

Shadab, who had been out of favor since the last T20 World Cup, has not only been recalled but also appointed as vice-captain for Pakistan’s upcoming T20 series against New Zealand. However, Afridi is unconvinced by the move.

“On what basis has he been recalled? What are his performances in domestic cricket or otherwise that he had been picked again?” Afridi questioned during a media interaction.

Afridi believes Pakistan’s cricketing struggles stem from a lack of continuity and consistency in decision-making. He lamented the frequent changes in leadership, both on and off the field, arguing that such instability prevents long-term progress.

“There is no continuity, consistency in the board’s decisions and policies. We keep changing captains, coaches, or some players, but in the end, what is the accountability for Board officials?” he questioned.

He also criticized the blame game within Pakistan cricket, where coaches, players, and officials constantly shift responsibility onto one another.

“It is sad to see coaches blaming players to save their jobs and the management blaming players and coaches to save their seats. How can our cricket progress when there is a sword hanging constantly over the captain and coaches' heads?” he said.

Despite his criticism, Afridi acknowledged that PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has good intentions but lacks deep cricketing knowledge.

“He wants to do well for Pakistan, but in the end, he depends on advice, and I told him he can’t continue doing three jobs at a time. He needs to focus on one job because being PCB Chairman is a full-time job,” Afridi remarked.​

I've said it time and time again.

Pakistan was at its best when they l were in uae.

The country is down in the dumps and the quality of pitches clearly reflects this calibre.

Pakistan was at its best from 2017-2018 due to UAE home conditons.

UAE generates interest in test cricket. The pitches are balanced.

I remember psl 2016 which imo was the best psl since 130 to 150 t20 scores were tough to make and chase down.

None od these rubbish 200 psl totals that are chased down in 15 overs on 60M boundaries with rigged speedometers claiming obvious 120kph deliveries are 152KPH.
 
I know people might they will be back eventually but i think as long aqib is there these 2 wont be around atleast in t20 pak now has to back the youth who are aggressive by nature their style of play will play big part in getting pakistan to top again likes of mohammed harris hassan nawaz omair bin yousaf samad has to backed at any cost and my favourite sufiyan muqeem should play every match from now on plz discuss guys.

The same teams that will pick Asif Ali, Sharjeel & Azam Khan shall also pick Imam

Asif Ali and Shajeel might be over the hill but at their prime/purple patch they were dangerous white ball hitters.

We know Azam Khan is extremely unfit, but him, Asif Ali and Sharjeel with Imam, who is so trash, he can't even make it in PSL. The guy is a shotless wonder and a fraud, who would never have made if it wasn't for the nephew of a famous ex-Pakistani player.
 
I think the same team should play against bangaldesh as well.. Apart from 1 or 2 changes maybe that PCB might make..
