“We have three mega events coming up. We can’t afford to experiment too much as we have very limited amount of time. We can do experiments in T20I but not in ODI. It is time to finalize the squad because we only have five matches with New Zealand and three matches with Afghanistan [before Asia Cup and World Cup],”

“We had two or three meetings with Babar. We selected the squad after consultation with Babar and there was consensus between us and no difference of opinion on any player.

“Losing is part of the game, but the reaction we see in Pakistan is not seen anywhere in the world. Every team takes to the field with the intention of winning, but defeat is also inevitable. Nobody gets continuous success. The team that performs better in batting, bowling, and fielding becomes the winner. We are also striving to improve in all three aspects,”

What experimentation are seeing with the T20 squad vs NZL ? They've named a reserve team and we've gone in full-strength.

 

[Osama Shafeeqe]

The time is now to experiment with the team, the likes of Saim Ayub should of been chosen rather than tried failors like Shan Masood.

Also the lack of a proper spinner is also required, Shadab and Nawaz have been incredibly mediocre in ODIs and the likes of Abrar Ahmed should of been tried. Considering these guys have given at least 4 whole games for the absolute rubbish spinner that is Zahid Mahmood, one game for a mystery spinner like Abrar should be warranted.

This is what happens when clowns like Shadab throw youngsters under the bus publicly

I really can’t wait for this phase or era of Pakistan cricketers to go extinct

 

[MenInG]

Oh so seems the new PCB Admin not doing things as some were cheerleading them for?

Like I said earlier, people got fooled by politicians.

The likes of Zaman khan, Mohammed Haris, Saim ayub ihsanullah are there. Can you name some youngsters who missed out. It’s pretty much the same team bar azam khan, tayyab tahir, Abdullah shafique and waseem jnr. 3 of them are rubbish and Abdullah shafique should have been picked ahead of a nothing cricketer like Shan.

Tayyab tahir will never be international material he’s just awful. Azam khan the less said about him the better and pretender so called all rounde wasim jnr is as bad as Faheem but at least Faheem is not a genuine no 10 like waseem jnr.

Every loss will be celebrated

Every failure will be highlighted

This isn’t going to be a pleasant series for Pakistan fans

Bro if they win, you will still find an excuse.

Any team with Babar and Rizwan opening is not my team

Any win under this strategy is flawed

Well put.

Agreed that Abdullah Technique should have been picked ahead of Shan Masood but his connections within the current PCB regime are well documented. We may as well get used to it.

i remember you celebrating babar and rizwan winning against India.

There is no politics or agenda when Pakistan play India. They have to win. Don’t care who the XI is

Any win against India should be rejoiced. What we don't want to see in the World Cup later this year is a repeat of the Misbah Mohali show.

Back to topic please.

The odi world cup is around the corner they can't experiment before a major tournament.

It's not Wasim Jnr fault that people call him an all rounder have you seen his bowling stats ?

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] haan bhai, you were daying who was dropped?

Imad Wasim is in the t20 squad.

 

[shamaan]

I would have picked Abdullah Shafique instead of Shan Masood that's the only change in t20s.

Odi Squad is fine.
