Lot of promise and pace as well!

But is he ready for the World Cup? Would it be safe to take him to England for his pace alone?
 
No. Develop him for the next big event and keep him away from Mickey Arthur

Select

Junaid
Shaheen
Sadaf
Hasan

For WC
 
He has the X factor that other Pakistani pacers don't have. He is raw but he could be a handful for batsmen in England at the World Cup.

I would pick him.
 
Knowing the defensive mentality of our coach and selectors, they won’t pick him.
 
If our options are duds like Shinwari, Abbas and Amir then YES!
 
Yes apart from Shaheen and Hasan
We don’t have much quality in bowling department
Hasnain should make it
Amir will have to stay too don’t see Abbas or shinwaru topping him
 
Look beside being talented he also has the making of a smart and confident bowler. You can be supreme talented (Sami comes to mind) but if you lack confidence than the chance of one succeeding at the highest level is zero to none. He should make it to the WC team but should be played based on pitch condition.
 
Very close to saying yes as I want to see how he does for the rest of the series.
 
I heard that every team is playing at least 9 matches in the WC? If that is true then he should go, the fast bowlers will be rotated.
 
Too raw.

Not ready yet.

His time will come, there is no need to rush him into a World Cup, a Cup which we have realistically the least possible chance of winning.
 
Shaheen and Hasan are the automatic picks.

Amir and Faheem seem to be in favour.

I guess it's a battle between Junaid, Hasnain and Shinwari.
 
Yes. He has to go. Imagine him sending the ball flying through at old Trafford!!!

This tournament is open. Anyone can take it. It won’t be about slogging 350
 
It will be Amir, Hasan, Shaheen, Shadab, Faheem and Hasnain.

Imad, Junaid and Shinwari should be at bench to rotate if needed.
 
One of the reasons on why he should be selected include him not getting under pressure. He genuinely looked happy and bowled some good bouncers too. He's not a bowler that'd lose all of his control just coz he's getting smacked.
 
He adds variety to the attack and is somebody who the opposition will fear. I would take him as on slightly better pitches, he will cause a lot of trouble.
 
Right now he is ahead of shinwari and Abbas for me.
Let's see how Junaid goes in the next few games.
If hasnain outbowls him, I would take him

If anything, that's more reason why he should at least be in the squad for the World Cup. We have nothing to lose and experiencing the pressure and intensity of a tournament will be good for his development.
 
He is not ready yet. I think he has only played a couple of List A games .

We already have one rookie in Shaheen. Whilst I don’t believe in taking seniors just for the sake of “experience “ eg Malik and Hafeez who are generally failures in ICC tournaments the bowling is in better hands with big match players .

I would take

Shaheen
Hassan
Junaid
Amir (he will go)
Faheem

In each match we will play 3 pacers plus two (imad , Shadab or another spinner ) or 4 plus 1.

Amir, hassan , junaid have delivered in ICC tournaments before , and Shaheen is our trump card.
Faheem is a steady 4th option with the ball . Who thus far has been disappointing with the bat.
 
Guys the fact is world cup squad is of 16 players it is very hard to fit everyone in .
hasan has been superb in psl..shaheen has done more than enough..amir will have to go along with faheem.leaves one place which should be btw hasnain n junaid

This was his first List a game. He has played u19 games before though
 
Pakistan will play 5 ODIs with England before the world cup.Hasnain should play these matches.The wickets in England with help him.Batsmen were not finding it easy to play him on dead UAE pitches.Let us see how does in England.
 
People were saying send Haris Rauf who is even less experienced than Hasnain.

Hasnain has been playing at under 16 and under 19 level for quite some time now, he's also played the PSL and was man of the match in the final infront of a sold out Karachi crowd.
 
Dude has literally played his FIRST List A game today, where he bowled quick albeit without much discipline. Can't believe people want him in the WC squad. I'd easily take Raees, Shinwari, JKhan, Riaz over him, bowlers with actual experience and know-how
 
I think what has helped us in the past couple tournaments which we’ve won is having a new player in with an X factor who the opposition did not know much about e.g Amir in 2009 t20 cup, Fakhar Zaman champions trophy
 
We seem to do good in ICC tournaments when we take surprise selections as X factors. I say take Hasnain, the world cup could make his career
 
Amir is awful bowler
Abbas is not suited for ODI
Hussnain should be in WC squad.
 
The only thing I enjoyed in 2nd ODI was Hasnain's quick bouncers. For God sake, get this guy in the WC team, we need some firepower in this pathetic line-up.
 
Unpopular opinion but nothing really impressed me about Hasnain in the PSL. Yeah he has some pace but that's about it.

Haris Rauf despite a tad slower than Hasnain was better than him. His experience of playing in Australia clearly showed.

We have been fed with so much trundling over the past 5-6 years that anyone who bowls fast is automatically considered a very good bowler. I'd be very surprised if Hasnain succeeds at the international level. At the moment, all he is doing is bouncer and good length. I haven't seen him swinging or seaming the ball much. Without doing either, pace will travel the distance against international batsmen. It's one thing bowling to Pakistani batsmen that too on UAE pitches but altogether different thing bowling to world class batsmen at Trent Bridge.

Sadaf Hussain? Bro what year are you living in.
Click to expand...

Bro, I am living in a real world, Not in a world of Inzi where Amir is a best bowler in the country and the Back up bowlers are Rahat, Wahab, UK, SK etc. In real world Sadaf performs where the likes of Wahab, Rahat, Abbas struggles i.e List A cricket. People can say whatever they want about him but the fact remains he's been the best bowler in the country since 2010-11. Stats don't lie, he's extraordinary numbers in both formats, best in the country, there must be something about him which our so called 'International level' bowlers don't posses. We have already wasted 8 years of his career and kept Pakistan deprived of wonderful bowler like him. Accept that he's been discriminated and even now he deserves a chance

Fakhar Zaman was an extraordinary performer for Pakistan in domestic cricket in all formats for some years when he got into CT squad, don't compare Hasnain with Fakhar please. Your X factor must have some serious domestic performances too that make him a success, if you want to achieve that Select the likes of Sadaf Hussain, Kashif bhatti and Saud Shakeel. They all can become Fakhar Zaman of 2017 CT in 2019 worldcup

Those who perform in domestic become real X factors and a success e.g Fakhar Zaman. Hasnain hasn't achieved anything in domestic yet. Sadaf and Kashif are more likely to deliver for Pakistan than this kid. Go with them
 
No , he is inexperienced and a bad match at the world cup means that he is not picked for another 10 years. Such experiments are done at least a year from the world cup but silly pcb has other ideas. Other teams are looking to go into the world cup with wins under their belt and here we are giving young blood chances just 8 matches ahead of the world cup. The whole selection committee should be sacked.

Amir 2009? Bowlers are different to batsman, bowlers can sometimes click like that.
 
Rauf would have been a better wicket taking option in the worldcup , similar pace , can swing the new ball away and deadly accurate yorkers. Hasnain needs proper time to develop.

T20 is totally different from 50 over format, you get exposed if you're not used to of bowling 10 overs in batting friendly conditions, secondly Amir's bowling at 17-18 was insane. Can't compare the two. Amir has regressed massively now and also conditions have got alot flatter

Haris doesn't have any experience too. He's not played any match of 50 over format, would have been a risk just like Hasnain

Junaid will get a game next i am sure..Rauf definately doesnt look like he has fitness but the forthcoming Pakistan Cup should help him
 
This is the problem with Pakistan fans.

They think that every fast 18-20 year old should be part of World Cup Squad.

Even before yesterday's match I said he is too raw.

And I stand by this statement.
 
He must absolutely go. Should get a game or two as well.

Raw yes, learning yes, but so what? It's not like we are setting the world on fire at the moment with the likes of Amir, Shinwari etc.

PP'ers swing with every game. Hassnain will have one good game and the whole thread will change.

What's the point of destroying his confidence by rushing him to England?

I have seen two of his matches and while he has potential he is way below ready.

Its not like he is short of time too.

He has 15 years left.

It's not about his preserving his fragile confidence, it's about will he help Pakistan win games at the World Cup.

Pakistan is always in rebuilding and always rotating the same set of players with every new rebuilding exercise.

It's time to throw in some youngsters in the mix who can tough it out, bring an 'X' factor into the equation and let them sink or swim.

At some point, one has to realize it is about winning games NOW.

You are already taking Shaheen, Imam, Babar, Shadab as youngsters.

How many youngsters do you want?

The entire team of 18-19 years olds ?
 
I would back him and take him to the WC. He is a must play for me at Old Trafford against India.

If they can be useful, why not? Better than carrying the likes of Malik, Yasir, Wahab, Abbas and a non-performing Amir.

Babar is 25. Imam is 23 or 24. Not exactly 19.
 
Honestly I would take him to the world cup. He would make a solid surprise package for the opposition and I would love to see how he bowls in England.
 
Take him along and keep him with squad. The more he plays the better he gets. Last game he wasn't horrendous and really wayward but unlucky in 1st spell with edges and later on Maxwell hit decent deliveries. He only had one bad over to handscomb in which he conceded 4 boundaries. I hope he plays the next 2 games and the England series and then decide where he is.
 
I would 100% keep him on the roster. when I would play him depends on the opponent and conditions of pitch. he could be a good surprise factor as he gets experience, I feel like lack of confidence is definitely affecting him negatively and that will diminish as he gets more experience.

Needs more games under his belt and advice from coaches etc - he will come good.
 
Play him. To those saying "develop him more", develop him where? In Pakistan's world class domestic structure with state of the art pitches, stadia, and facilities, and the next gen's Miandad and Ponting batting against him? Lol, wake up.

He'll develop more playing international cricket rather than rot in the domestic circuit where he won't even get picked half the time in favor of 40 year old legends like Aizaz Cheema and Umar Gulla.
 
This guy will be a handful at Old Trafford's bouncy track.

Pakistan will miss a trick by not pairing him up front with Shaheen Shah Afridi against Sharma, Dhawan and Kohli in the first round of the World cup.
 
If Hasan, Junaid and Shaheen are going to be our regular frontline pacers then how's he getting a game ?

That being said I'd take him for the learning opportunity over Amir if that's the choice.
 
I'd even take someone who hasn't bowled a day in their lives over stinking garbage like Shinwari who just bowled Maxwell but turns out it is a no-ball yet again. Off the free hit he got smacked for four.
 
Hasnain is NOT playing the 5th ODI. What does this mean for his World Cup chances?

On top of his natural ability, Hasnain has shown he is a fast learner and a level headed character. The progress he has made in 3 ODIs is impressive.

We know there are two slots left for pacers in the squad, and Hasnain was/is one of those in the running. Given he isn't playing today, should we assume he has made the cut?

Let's hope so.
 
Looking very likely even though not in final ODI

Its going to be amir and shinwari. They are not bold enough to take the tough call of dropping amir
 
Rest of the bowling attack making a strong case...

...for Hasanain to be included.

:))
 
Hasnain being rested today means he is almost certain to be on that flight.
