What's new

Shadab Khan and Faheem Ashraf are genuine all-rounders that need to be backed

Two of the most mediocre players. Yes, let’s back them despite their 0 zero performance. My enthusiasm about a Pakistan match goes down as soon as I see the names of people like Shadab, Faheem, Shahzad, Asif Ali and Sarfraz.

Umar Akmal fan I presume?
 
Shadab's all-round skills also non-existent at the moment.
 
Zabardasti ka Alrounder banaya hoa hai... They don't even to deserve play as a bowler alone
 
These two really need to play some FC cricket, I was hoping that they wouldn't be selected for this SL series and would have been allowed to continue with their FC sides.
 
Since the commencement from the OP [MENTION=143344]babajee[/MENTION] on 1 Feb 2019 - this thread really hasn't aged well.
 
Misbah-ul-Haq:

The debate regarding favouritism will never end. Whichever XI we pick, there will always be questions as to why the other players didn’t play. We always try to pick the best combination and we always try to give chances based on our bench-strength. There is no favouritism, we always try to pick the best and most balanced team so that we win matches and win series. There is no obligation to play certain players.

Shadab and Faheem are important to the balance of the team as wherever you play numbers 7 and 8 have to be able to bat as we have seen with Lewis Gregory. Shadab can bat, he can bowl although his bowling hasn’t been at its best recently but it’s important that he regains his form and confidence.

At this moment the form of most of the players isn’t at the level that it should be. Faheem bowled well against South Africa and we see him as a bowler firstly and then we look at his batting as a support. Neither Faheem or Shadab are not getting favours to be picked all the time.
 
Shadab ought to be groomed for test cricket, but he needs to play domestic. A full season of QEA, no excuses.
 
Genuine all rounder who is brighter a faithful batter or bowler.
 
Faheen is really a club level cricketer. No space for such players ins team with Pakistan’s legacy
Well in T29 he did save them from a defeat against Netherlands.. for PCT that’s top level nowadays, but from ODI he needs to be dropped , has pathetic stats.
