Usman Khan, during his interaction with the media, highlighted his early cricket struggles and his plans for upcoming assignments:

"I thank Allah for the opportunity to represent Pakistan. There is no pressure; this is an international career, so naturally, there are thoughts in my head. However, we played according to the plans of our coaches, captain, and team."

"Yes, obviously, coming from a small village where there wasn't much cricket, I faced struggles at certain stages. Many people, both from Karachi and Sheikhpura, supported me."

"So far, I've focused more on practicing bouncer, cut, and pull shots. Since we're going to Ireland and England, where the pitches are excellent for batting, and rarely does seam bowling occur, I'll adapt my game accordingly. T20 wickets are mostly batting-friendly."

"Most of the cricket I've played has been in league cricket, which improved my performance. Now, getting the chance to play for Pakistan, I'm giving my best to solidify my position in the team. I'll put in my full effort and perform in the upcoming T20I World Cup, hoping we'll return victorious."

England does indeed produce batting paradises for limited-over cricket, but it's still early in the season, and the pitches might not be as batting-friendly. I believe Usman Khan might struggle in these conditions. Whose idea was it anyway to play in Ireland and England when the tournament is in the Caribbean and the US? The pitches and conditions will be vastly different. It's not wise to play against such a strong team before a World Cup; losing could be detrimental to the team's morale and players' confidence.

This lad has the correct mindset.

Inshallah he works on his shirt comings and becomes a superstar for Pakistan.

If we want to improve Pakistan cricket, we must start with the mindset first and then progress onwards.
 
In the team footage I'm seeing Fakhar and Usman train and practice their shots together. This can be very positive of Usman's mindset development. He's eager to learn.

Better to adopt the elements of a winning mindset from Fakhar than lets say Babar.
 
I think just give him the Ireland-England series. If he still doesn't perform then please don't add him to the World Cup squad because we would just be wasting a batting resource nothing more than that.
 
747 runs in 17 PSL matches

59 runs in 5 T20Is for Pakistan

On this day, hard-hitting wicket-keeper batter, Usman Khan was born. Happy birthday to him and wishing him good luck for the Ireland series.

He is yet to prove his mettle at the international stage.
 
What is going against usman is he is top order batsman and they can't find space for him as saim is confirmed rizwan is back babar is there and even Fakhar used to be opener.
If Azam can do something meaningful in next few games remaining he will likely start over Usman.
Only issue against Azam is his fielding as it will be hard to play him if he is not keeping.

Only issue is fielding?
Wow just wow. Azam Khan should not play for Pak, he is a pathetic player with 0 heart and desire. How on earth you think such a player can represent Pak?
 
Pakistan will always chose Azam due to his experience so far.
Due to Moin Khan nepotism, the experience thing is an excuse Pakistan has been making for decades.

We saw this with younis Khan getting in over fawad alam in 2015 wc due to YK's extreme temper tantrums.

Pcb as a board needs to learn to take charge, gotta show em who's boss, no wonder these boys cry once on the media and pcb decides to let these guys walk all over them
 
Next game, drop Rizwan and play Usman. Give him all the available chances so that he can judge himself as a player and where he stands.
 
Usman should only play in top 3. And he can only play in place of Rizwan. Because Babar and Saim looks undroppable at this point.

But the problem will be going forward is Pakistan would need a regular WK. Usman is not good enough WK and it will cost Pakistan in WT20
