The Sajid Khan question: What keeps him from becoming an all-formats star for Pakistan?

[mominsaigol]

Sajid Khan despite being a key factor against England has been dropped from the test squad for the upcoming SA series.

But why? I understand that sa is a pace only pitch and that both nouman + Sajid cannot play together, but it makes no sense to discard him from the squad as a whole.

Imo he can easily replace Babar Azam in tests since Babar has been a deadweight for a while now.

Babar Azam should only play odi and t20. Let Kamran ghulam play at no 4 in tests and sajid Khan should be a regular regardless.

If CT is Hybrid, Aka pak + UAE, Then sajid + Nouman shpuld play and be included.

Their the 2 best spinners followed by the fact that these 2 can bat and make perfect no 7/8/9.

Sufiyan can't bat.

He flights the ball too much.... I don't think he can succeed in white ball cricket so its better to keep him where he is performing well.

Pcb has never been good at identifying talent.

Noman chacha shpuld have made his debut in 2010 and sajid khan should have made his debut in 2016.

Wouldn't be against the idea of trying Sajid in ODI. He can bat as well.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Only a lunatic can drop Sajid Khan from the CT 2025 squad now.

I agree with this. But he does deserve a chance.

I think it was more the case where merit was purposefully ignored.

 

[mominsaigol]

Genuinely though, why can't sajid become an allformat allrounder?

Agha is useless with the bat in t20 and if he ain't gonna bowl then no point in having him. In tests sajid should play.

Odi is the only question mark due to sajid's poor record in List A.

Wish to bump this thread.

Seeing how well some of the sa spinners were bowling and how rubbish sufiyan was bowling, why wasn't sajid selected?
