Shadab Khan ruled out of LOI series against England, Yasir Shah named as replacement

Why not Zafar Gohar?
If a fast bowler can be picked for world cup just on the base of Talent than why not a talented spinner.
Zafar Gohar is far better limited over bowler than Yasir Shah.
 
Which one takes lesser time Hepatitis or Dengue? Anyway, wishing quick recovery for Shadab.

Revolutionary decision by Ul Haque though - leg spinners have done well in ODI & who knows, like Qadir in 1983, Yasir might the trump card....... though not sure how he became so fit, so quickly. For an honest & pious man like Inzamam, Yasir must have passed the 17.4 mark set by PCB, otherwise he won’t have been there.

Dengue is a much serious infection compared to hepatitis A with some serious potential complications, but most of the people recover fully. Younis Khan was infected with dengue couple of years ago and made full recovery.
 
What does 'blood virus' mean anyway? Technically, any virus or bacteria IS going to enter the bloodstream to cause injury or damage to the organs, unless its a respiratory virus etc. Odd way to describe it. Its like saying water is wet. Ideally this news should have not been made out in public as it is someone's health and privacy is important, but if they have already said its a virus, might as well name the virus and give the public the diagnosis.

From my understanding dengue season is Sep-October in Pakistan.

Its probably hepatitis A which is a food borne illness. He just passed the fitness test, so I am not sure if he had dengue he would be able to clear it.

Hep B or C are typically transferred via fluid exchange (blood, IV drug abuse, sex). I do not think Shadab Khan fits that category.
 
What about Umer Khan?

Yasir Shah has been tested. Tested in the PSL. Tested in the previous World Cup. Tested most recently vs Australia.

He has proven he is no white-ball material. He is too expensive and doesn't take enough wickets. So what performance, evidence or promise has he shown to earn himself a call-up as a replacement for Shadab Khan. Everyone knows how his series is now going to go. His economy will be in the high 5s and he will barely take a wicket a game. So what's the point of selecting him again. Why not try someone new.

My preference would be Umer Khan, who brought himself into the spotlight by playing for Karachi Kings in the PSL. He has shown he can spin the ball, he has proven he can bowl in T20's so now let us see if he can keep up in international cricket. By viewing him in the PSL, it seems as if he has all the needed skills in addition to his confidence which allows him to be aggressive in his bowling.

With Shadab out, and the WC spin department settled, this would have been the ideal situation for Pakistan to try someone new. To test out Umer Khan or even the leggie Imbtisam Khan. Anyone who has some hope in helping Pakistan for the future. Even with Nawaz, I would have been satisfied.

Anyone but a 32-year-old leggie, who can only bowl with the red ball and has just recently been trialed and failed. Anyone but Yasir.
 
well, yasir is a wrist spinner thats why he was picked...

we all saw what happened to jadeda and ashwin on CT 2017 final.
 
Just heard Inzi's statement about Shadab. If Shadab had no symptoms and his blood test came back positive by screening , that's unlikely to be hepatitis A, it could be Hepatitis C , which is endemic in Pakistan. Treatment a bit lengthy.

Some of the top hepatitis specialists are in Pakistan, why he has to see a specialist in England for that.

The last guidelines published by WHO regarding hepatitis C were written by a committee of specialists from 25 countries and it has headed by a doctor from Pakistan.
 
Yeah, we aren't winning any world cups either with him in the squad. So, might as well try some other young spinner
 
Looks like Inzi will select Yasir from now on even after World Cup 2019 and he may even play 2020 T20 World Cup.
 
Pakistan will remain a minnow team because from selectors to coach to captain to players, everyone is incompetent and corrupt.

Do you really think Junaid Khan will last 5 whole ODIs, the guy will play a couple of matches and then pick a niggle and out for next few games.

Besides when you have so many matches you need good back-upsas they will also play at some stage and Yasir has been disappointing in LOIs.

We can't do anything about this selection now, can we?

It's best to keep him at the bench for longest possible time and hope Shadab recovers, use Yasir only when pitch seems pretty dry.

I agree, Junaid Khan is pretty injury prone and can be out anytime but his replacement is already in England, in the shape of Mohammad Amir. So no worries, Junaid could be in the first choice attack until that happens being rotated with Amir and Hasnain during the England series.
 
i for one, i think its a good decision because yasir shah does have the experience, and he is the only wrist spinner we have with experience.

the last two ODIs agaisnt australia, his performance was not as horrible...

I guess as he is already there and they want him to remain there to join the WC squad if he recovers well. Inzamam said that it could take around 4 weeks for recovery so it might not be C as it can take more time. Also I think some people do face symptoms for hepatitis C as well.

Maybe its something else and there is no official statement has made regarding what kind of virus it is.
 
The state of this cricketing team man.

We used Yasir Shah in the previous World cup and he was hammered by everyone.

Since then, not once has he shown consistency in the limited format. And now 4 years on, he’s selected again for the World cup? On what basis?

What’s more shocking that we haven’t developed a back up spinner ie Zafar Gohar etc. Such incompetency, where is the planning? Shocking man. So frustrating.
 
Pakistan deserves every bit of humiliation coming their way if in all of country, Yasir Shah is considered to be the best replacement for Shadab. Pathetic stuff from an incompetent selector and team management.

Coming 7th in the world cup ahead of Sri Lanka. Afghanistan and Bangladesh would be a respectable outcome.

Hopefully, Yasir will only be there to sit on the bench.

Pakistan's preferred bowling attack would now be:

Imad Wasim
Faheem Ashraf
Hasan Ali
Shaheen Afridi
Junaid Khan

I would rather he plays and gets mullered so that his chances of getting to world cup Decrease
 
Of all the spinners we have in the domestic. Zafar Gohar, Umer Khan, Mohammad Irfan, Usama Mir etc. We go with someone who is no where near good enough for International cricket let alone England conditions.

I feel you bro. Guys like Zafar and Umer Khan aren't selected probably because of inexperience, but Hasnain does? I'm fine with Hasnain's selection, but there really is some faulty thought processing here by CS.

That's not a bad attack if you ask me.If Hafeez can bowl a few overs, that would help alot. I always felt it should be one of Imad or Shadab in the starting 11 playing in England, not both. So maybe a blessing in disguise if Faheem can ball economically and hit a few lower order runs?

:)) What else do you expect from this committee that shouldn't be anywhere near the domestic set-up let alone the national set up.

Prayers for Shadab Khan, hope he gets healthy soon.


Lots of records will be broken in the series versus England.
 
couple of news channels in pakistan are reporting it to be Hepatitis C, and that PCB has released this information!?

I cannot find this anywhere officially.

Why dont they either keep this quiet as one's medical condition is very private, or if they have said that he has a viral infection, why not tell us which exact illness is it? I dont understand this.
 
Imad and Hafeez will need to share the spin duty, and we should look to play Faheem with 3 seamers against England. There is no point 'testing' Yasir for the sake of trying. We already know he is not suited to white ball formats.

Losing Shadab is such a blow, and really hope he can make it for the World Cup.
 
Even an old Shahid Afridi would have been more useful than Yasir Shah. Sad but it's the truth.

I can't believe Mickey + Inzi keep making the same mistakes.If you are this desperate then rather select Mohammad Nawaz who can bat as well. Yasir adds nothing!
 
Shadab Update

Shadab Khan will leave for London on Tuesday, where the PCB has set-up his appointment with Dr Patrick Kennedy on Thursday and Friday.

Hope he has Hepatitis A from which he should recovery fully in 2-3 weeks without any treatment and consequences. And NOT Hep, C, B, D or E.

I hope players all get vaccination against all these viruses ( B and A )

There is now treatment available for Heb C also, but its long and somewhat toxic treatment. Again, I hope its Hep A, in that case he will recover fully. Its highly contagious , hence needed to be isolated .

By the tweet of saj it looks like he has Hep B...if it is so, how much time will it take him to play?

It would be awesome Afridi came out of retirement.
 
I looked at Dr Patrick Kennedy's profile, he is the right person , a gastroenterologist, to see patient with hepatitis , here is my take , on this matter so far.

Its not hepatitis A, which is a self limiting disease and no one needs to go to England just for Hep A.

Its probably not Dengue , UK doctors don't have much expertise and experience managing dengue, there are excellent Physicians for dengue in Pakistan, and from recent picture Shadab doesn;t look sick enough to be infected by dengue.

There is very effective vaccine for hepatitis B, do not know whether Shadab had it or not.

There is vaccine for hepatitis A but no one in Pakistan gets it, most of the people get infected with hepatitis A and recover from it then develop life long immunity , you can;t get hepatitis A twice.

That is left with Hepatitis C: there is no vaccine for that and its endemic in Pakistan but luckily there is now treatment available for that, a recent medical breakthrough.

Most of the people infected with hepatitis C have no symptoms for years or decades, or never, but its the most common causes of hepatitis related liver failure for the same reason.

If Shadab has hepatitis C, there is very good chance he will make full recovery from it with proper treatment which takes about three months . He can still play while taking those pills.

Hepatitis B infection is a serious problem, a different ball game.

He is a young talented cricketer and future of Pakistan cricket, so whatever money it takes to treat his infection is worth spending and he deserves to be treated by best doctors available. But for hepatitis infection, Pakistan has some of the worlds best physicians and I don;t know why he to go to UK for that.

Hope he recovers fully and recovers soon.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully Shadab recovers soon.
 
There are posters who are saying that we shouldn't pick other spinners purely because of their numbers, well my idiotic friends this is the situation we find ourselves in; so who is our back up? Yasir Shah, yes that's right, a damn Test specialist; on this genius logic we can only pick one spinner alone for each format and not look at alternatives remotely or begin to develop them.
 
He will be a huge miss if he doesnt make it to WC. I would say any chances of a miracle can be forgotten without him.
 
Hope he recovers big player for Pakistan, yasir shah a massive downgrade over Shadab.
 
This is a joke I had a hard time commenting. I can't even digest the fact that this leg-spinner was chosen for an"ODI" series in UAE against AU and now this. Whaaat? Is there any insight needed from ANYONE in the world about this pathetic selection. I was so looking forward to see a series in Eng but no more. Buy Buy Pakistan. If it is up to me, I would spank this section mafia with their Shalwars down.
