Sleeping PCB, Sleeping Selectors.
This guy was one of the picks of wasim's camp. He was a raw talent who had not even played any under 19 or inter region / district level cricket.
Yet after few weeks camp he bowled 138 kph in a domestic T20 game where all of us here agreed that speed guns were atleast 5 kph slower than actual speed.
This guy is a left arm copy of malinga. Not only the action but he has the ability to bowl deadly yorkers like him with lots of reverse on offer due to his action.
He can be a huge huge asset for Pakistan in the 2019 worldcup in England.
Look when someone told Aqib about Mohammad Irfan and he was called by Aqib to academy he was measured at bowling 128 kph. Aqib told him to train for 2 weeks there than see if his pace improves than work harder otherwise go back to his village and do his job as previously. After 2 weeks training at NCA he was measured again and his speed had increased by 2 kph and was 130kph. They (staff) got impressed an said you have Potential so work hard further. Than he played for KRL and was amongst wickets and when he played for Pakistan in 2010 after an year when he was 28 years old than his top speed was 138kph.
A 26,27 years old Irfan who started at top speed of 128 clocked 150 kph in 2012-2013 in south Africa after 3 , 4 years of professional training and professional cricket at the age of 30, 31. He in his peak in India and south Africa clocked 145+ numerous times. And was a match winner than.
Here you have a 22 years old Afraz Khoso who in his first 2 professional matches without any cricket at his back in bowls 138 (actual 143kph) so how much potential he has ? And where the hell is pcb and those who selected him from larkana/jacobabad through a talent hunt of pcb ?
I have not even got 1 % doubt that with proper training and guidelines he can surely become a left arm fast bowler who can operate between 85 to 94 mph bowler. Yes with his action he may get unfit like malinga or Irfan etc etc but even brett Lee , Wahab, shoaib , Bond with better actions got unfit. It's part and parcel for fast bowlers. Even Waqar got serious back issues with his action.
1. Why PCB is sleeping ?
2. Why they did not select him in any regional team for QEA ?
3. Why he did not play QEA qualifying round ?
4. Why he wasn't selected in any regional team for National one day cup ?
5. Why his name wasn't there as a raw talent in PSL players draft ?
6. Where are the selectors and NCA staff as well as director domestic cricket and director games development ?
Afraz Khoso is a rare talent and he can be as destructive and as lethal as lasith malinga in Odis and T20's. Malinga who has clocked 150 in international cricket was a medium fast bowler when he stated his international cricket and this Afraz Khoso has bowled fast medium stuff without having any official cricket background at any level.
