[VIDEOS] Raza-ul-Mustafa, a wicketkeeper batting prospect

[Asad T]

Pindi looked down and out, needing 59 from 30 balls, as the fairly unknown 19-year-old keeper-batsman, Raza-ul-Mustafa came to the middle. With only three list-A matches under his belt, not much was expected from him.

But he was up to the task, hitting it all over the park. He hit through the off-side to cow-corner, and even hit a scoop shot. He was a bit lucky though; he could have been given LBW and 2 few top edges that landed safe.

But he showed courage and is someone to certainly keep an eye on. Here are the highlights of his 42(18).

 

[Asad T]

Not sure if he is 19 though

His most impressive shot:

 

[emranabbas]

we need to get him in place of Rizwan ASAP in at least t20's and odi's

 

[MenInG]

Before he ages fast.

Zindabad puttar

This is why I like the multiple team structure. It gives you a chance to find out of the blue players/stars who may not have had the opportunity to shine in a concise, 6 team league

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Another keeper who is well past Rizwan both with the bat and the gloves

We have at least 7 keeper batsmen who are leagues ahead of Rizwan so why he keeps getting selected baffles me

 

[FearlessRoar]

A fine talent, don't rush to bring him to international side. Let him play more domestic cricket

Based on one T20 game.

 

[PakEngFan]

Rushed against pace and can't hit. Decent for domestics. Nothing else.

Your talking nonsense Rizwan is easily the best keeper I'm Pakistan.

 

[shamaan]

Okay nothing special.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan nesd to groom couple of WK and make sure you rotate and play them so that they have some experience , when they are required to be in playing XI.

 

[Bewal Express]

Rushed against pace and can't hit. Decent for domestics. Nothing else.

And the other guys are claiming he is the best thing since sliced bread. I trust your judgement more

 

[Saj]

If he's 19, then I'm 21

Laughable the ages of some of these men.

 

[Bewal Express]

A fine talent, don't rush to bring him to international side. Let him play more domestic cricket

And why would anyone think about international cricket based on a quick 40

 

[kingusama92]

Another keeper who is well past Rizwan both with the bat and the gloves

Maybe with his age too

 

[ElRaja]

ok, a dose of reality, the first two boundaries he hit would have been cut off at international level and the fourth would have been his dismissal. could barely clear the ropes and made use of some seriously poor bowling. depressing watching all round tbh, and im a pindi supporter.

 

[JAV12341]

Bang average players playing in a bang average tournament. If this is our future we will end up like Bangladesh level team

 

[Barragan]

Needs a lot of developing.

Let him play FC and other domestic tournaments for at least two years and see where he is.

 

[PakEngFan]

And the other guys are claiming he is the best thing since sliced bread. I trust your judgement more

Thanks likewise I trust you more then the so called Pakistani supporters who’s whole purpose is hating on Babar and rizwan who are our 2 top players.

Nothing against this lad, but he’s a domestic level player at best and that too a decent one at best.

 

[moghul]

Very low threshold to get excited about a player.

 

[Sher Khan]

He looks absolutely terrible tbh. He was actually late on the first two boundaries. This is the proper definition of a fluke innings. Could have out like three times during that innings.

 

[Rana]

100% pick and promote this kid.

You need more options. The current 110sr T20 opener keeper is dragging Pakistan back massively.

 

[Bewal Express]

No, let's pick him for PK based on scoring 42. This isn't a left field suggestion, its more of left planet suggestion.

Who would have known that this would happen so quickly under Naqvi and his clowns

 

[Rana]

hey look everyone…Bewal wants to bump this thread to laugh at my cricket views………




































See, nobody cares @Bewal Express

Ok

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan out of 41, definitely need to get raza ul mustafa would be way better than rizwan

 

[khyberlion]

No, let's pick him for PK based on scoring 42. This isn't a left field suggestion, its more of left planet suggestion.

Let's make him the captain too. I have seen this lad bat and he's pretty average for even domestic level.

 

[Rana]

Well at least he scored 42 and not 41 like Rizwan did

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Someone locks this nonsense thread.

 

[khyberlion]

Someone locks this nonsense thread.

Rizwan haters are still excited about the 42 runs.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Why hasn't he been playing domestic matches regularly till now?

 

[Rana]

Why hasn't he played many domestic matches till now?

The mafia probably set him up with a job as an Uber driver abroad so that they can make sure no one comes close to their king pin

 

[The Bald Eagle]

His most impressive shot:

Well just came across this lad for the first time. Looks an amazing player from this picture

 

[Rana]

What about this one?

 

[emranabbas]

These are shots rizwan can only dream to play

 

[emranabbas]

Seems a hard working guy

 

[Muhammad Saad]

This is more of troll thread than anything and it should be lock by the mods , it’s hampering the quality of pakpassion forum.

Two guys continuously posting none sensical stuff about amateur cricketer and bashing M.Rizwan and want this guy to replace him. Utter rubbish and nonsense stuff and mods aren’t even bothered about it.

 

[emranabbas]

Comes in when his team required 52 off 21 balls, scores a 42 not out and wins the game for his team strike rate 233 and 8 4,s

the thread was bumped by Mr Bewal Express.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

He played one innings which is already posted in the OP why keep repeating about it? Do it when he play next time and score a ton against good bowling lineup.

This is indeed trolling of the highest order.

 

[khyberlion]

Seems a hard working guy

And you based this on a video of him batting against slow bouncers?

Agreed nothing is done about it and it's the same rubbish which is repeated in every thread and yet they allowed.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Sarfraz Ahmed, Mohammad Haris, Azam Khan, Mohammad Aklahq, Rizwan Hussain, Umer Siddique, Raza ul Mustafa, Adnan Akmal, Khawaja Nafay

These 9 names are all better options than our current test keeper

I disagree you forgot to mention the other 250m in Pakistan.

 

[Rana]

No one, NO ONE is irreplaceable!

 

[emranabbas]

Need to get this kid in t20i ASAP replacing rizwan

 

[Rana]

Need to get this kid in t20i ASAP replacing rizwan

just go ahead and do it.

Dont need some selfish little guy who only wants to bat in one position and do injustice to the requirements of that position for his personal gain.

Be brave and remove him
