Rizwan is certainly a superior athlete and batsman, but i'm not sure about his keeping. Neither Rizwan or Sarfraz are spectacular behind the wickets...I would like to see Haider Ali and Omair bin Yousaf to be nurtured and looked after carefully and given full season and the next season to groom themselves
for now, Sami Aslam, Shan Masood, Abid Ali and Rizwan need to come straight away... with Imam, Babar and Harris sohail relatively set in the main XI, this gives us good strong batting XI
Aamir Yamin and Zafar Gohar need to be slotted in straight away. The mighty free fall decline of Shadab Khan and inability of Faheem Ashraf with the bat has been disasterous for us ... It will be criminal of the management now to give Faheem and Shadab another series and leave Yamin and Gohar out
the fast bowling core need to be circled around Shaheen Shah Afridi and M. Abbas in tests and M.Aamir and SSA in ODIz. with Hussnain/Shinwari/Rauf to take 3rd seamer option and Yamin to be the fast bowling allrounder, Gohar and imad must be given the preference as the bowling strength
this should now be made clear to everyone (including myself) that the PSL magic is just for pump and show and it cannot translate into international cricket (generally). On and off we will find someone coming from PSL who could be world class quality but that will be less that 10%.... rest need to come from the domestic
Sarfraz really needs to be given a boot. Rizwan is a superior keeper, a superior batsman and a superior overall athlete ... just shameful we have sarfraz in the team
Rizwan is certainly a superior athlete and batsman, but i'm not sure about his keeping. Neither Rizwan or Sarfraz are spectacular behind the wickets...
even if not behind the wicket, i think rizwan is easily the best outfielder in pakistan at the min... at one point with him, anwar ali and shadab, we had 3 seriously amazing fielders ... in short he is def a must
and Rizwan >>> sarfraz in keeping .... isnt he?
Sad thing is Rohail from what I have seen so far is not a genuine keeper as well. I think he has been added burden in the U19 side so that they can save a slot for pure keeper.
Azhar has 2 centuries this season while Shafiq has been getting scores without going big they are in decent nick and will have their par series I believe but that is not good enough for paksitanAsad Shafiq , Shan Masood and Azhar Ali not in good form and neither Abbas or Imran Khan is , I wonder if they had waited for test squad announcement after this round.

I think Kamran Akmal deserves a chance

U. Akmal definitely the pick of the batsmen.
Played less innings than the other batsmen in the top 10, scored a match-winning double ton in a final and has a fantastic SR.
Yet he constantly throws his wicket away and is in the worst shape I’ve ever seen him in.

What the hell are you talking about?
He wouldn't be among top scorers and that too with less innings than the others, if he threw his wicket away - it makes absolutely zero sense!!
Don't care about "shape", "size" or whatever, just score runs and that should be the ONLY concern.
Still scored a quick double century...
When is the last time he’s won us a game? He constantly throws it away, there’s far better players than him. People call him “special” talent, he’s far from it. He’s blown away ever chance ever given to him, he’ll fail again mark my words.
Fitness doesn’t matter??? What planet are you living on, of course fitness matters. He’s just a good domestic player that’s all, he can’t achieve more than that.
What you blabbing on about?
Can you not read the title of the thread?
Can you understand that I was responding to your compliments of dumb dumb akmal
Why you always hyping up this nobody Abdullah Shafiq?most impressive for me was Abdullah Shafique!

Scored a match-winning double ton in the final, among the highest run scorers (with less innings than the others in the top 10) and with the 2nd highest SR in the tournament.
Read the above paragraph over a thousand times and if you still don't understand, then I cannot help you in any way.
Well done to him but he still sucks and is dumber than a lampost. I don't care if he scores 10,000 runs, he's about as useful as Awais Zia when it comes to international cricket. Invest in newer guys we haven't seen before not these ***** players who clap whenever their flight lands.
