Stop bashing domestic cricket!

The most capable players that have played for Pakistan keep coming from domestic cricket, and the selectors need to realize that. You cannot keep bashing the system when you don't give the best performers an opportunity.

And yet many fans insist on fast-tracking players after one good PSL whilst the consistent domestic performers like Abid get ignored.

Yea its not given its fair share of attention.India get a lot of batsmen from its domestic system.

The problem is that youngsters are being overlooked or not played in domestic cricket and PSL is the only competition where players are being spotted.

It's inspite of domestic Cricket, not because of it that some talent gets through. Domestic Cricket is played by poorly paid players, on poor pitches at the wrong time of the year.

This

PSL should not be criteria for ODI selection, unless the said player is performing in LA cricket.

Selection is part of the system - if your best players are not picked for National team, them it's the fault of the system as well; can't blame anyone else.

Yes, I personally do believe that not the best 15 always represents PAK, neither the best fit 15 are picked, but it's not that someone outsider is forcing PAK to do that.

Regardless of the quality of domestic cricket and structure, the top performers on merit especially for a decent no of years should get a chance.

Depends on what kind of pitches you have performed and against what opposition.

I had and have no doubt in my mind that Abid will perform well at international level after scoring heavily in Islamabad's Diamond ground and against good attacks. There were people who never saw him called him geezer and incapable of playing for Pakistan.
