Unless you want him as a replacement for shan masood in test which I agree with,
He should be kept far away from odi and t20

Early days perhaps, but a kid who averages 50+ in first class after 35+ games is someone to watch out for, IMHO. Has a nice 132+ SR in T20s too.
Scored an impressive 200+ against Bangladesh in the ongoing unofficial test as well. And he is all of 22.
So , the next Saeed Anwar in the making? What do Pak fans think?

We have to stop over-hyping upcoming players, let them prove themselves through their performances..
We also have to stop being delusional as a nation and accept that there is no real talent in Pakistan... We are way behind the rest of the world in terms of player development...

Tayyab Tahir has replaced Mohammad Huraira for Pakistan Shaheens’ white-ball leg of Darwin tour. Huraira, who scored a double century against Bangladesh ‘A’ in first four-day match but was rested from the second four-dayer, has returned to Pakistan as he is in contention for this month’s red-ball matches against Bangladesh

Looking more and more likely he’ll get selected and possibly even get a test cap.

He is someone who has prioritized first class cricket and the long game. Even if he goes to PSL, all the fundamentals are there. He ain’t no hack.

Can be an ideal player for flat subcontinental wickets irrespective of the format plus he can play spin as well can be a great FTB for Pakistan in coming years plus age is on his side he can improve his game against bounce pace and movement as well.

This record is enough for any player to make his way into the team. But PCB is obviously not that intelligent. Perfect time to try this guy out. At Home, against Banfgaldesh when you really need a genuine opener.

Hard work pays off.
Huraira got his spot in the upcoming home test series against Bangladesh. Good to see him getting his weel deserved call. i hope he plays ahead of Saim ayub.

Muhammad Huraira in a recent interview has opened up on his journey to make it to the Pakistan national side:
I received my first test call last year. We had our first high-performance camp in Lahore, and that’s when I learned that my name was also in that list. First of all, I told my parents about it because it was because of their prayers that i achieved this milestone. It was also their ambition to see me as a cricketer, although initially I was not interested in this sport.
Whenever you play in the international circuit, Shaheen, or in any domestic first-class tournament, and then return to your hometown, you receive a warm welcome from the people. Many people have a desire to represent their country on international platforms, and when they see an individual who has done this, they certainly feel honored. For me, it is a tremendous honor to wear the Pakistan emblem on my shirt.
Contrary to what others have experienced, I used to get scolded for not playing cricket. My father, who was my first coach, helped me learn a lot about the game. He would play cricket with me before and after school hours, throwing balls for me to practice. In fact, my earliest memories are related to the game of cricket. My mother also played a crucial role in helping me balance my studies and sports, as she managed my academic affairs. This is why I never attended any tuition classes; I wanted to ensure that my studies did not interfere with my cricket training.
Before playing Under-19 for Pakistan, I participated in a district-level Under-19 tournament, where I was not selected for the team because the management believed I wasn’t at that level. This experience was very hurtful for me, especially since I had performed well at an Under-16 high-performance camp organized by the PCB at the NCA.
So being dropped from the district Under-19 side was heart-wrenching. At that point, I considered quitting cricket, but my family supported me immensely and encouraged me to give it my best. Thankfully, their encouragement led to a positive response in my subsequent performances.

Could Huraira not be given a Test debut in the 1st Test?

guessing he'll be in the second if saim fails here. fair enough giving saim a second after he had an OK debut in tough aussie conditions.

Shan Masood in a presser before 1st Tedt against Bangladesh explained reason behind Huraira's preference over Imam Ul Haq:
“Looking at our opening, we have plenty of riches. Unfortunately, Imam-ul-Haq isn't in this series, but he is part of this team always. We don't just keep 17 players; we have 20-25 players who are part of the squad and will remain so. Sometimes we have to see that in this series, we felt that this is an ideal chance to see Mohammad Huraira, bring him into the squad, and see what he can do. What can Muhammad Huraira, who has consistently scored runs in domestic cricket for the last three to four years, offer to the Pakistan team? So we said let's rest Imam-ul-Haq in this series.”

Mohammad Huraira should be playing in the first Test match against England. He deserves a chance for his consistent performances in domestic cricket over multiple seasons. It's time to stop selecting batters based on reputation and instead choose them based on current form. We need to start winning

Mohammad Huraira has been announced as the captain of Pakistan Shaheens to face Sri Lanka 'A' in two four-day and three 50-over matches at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from 11 to 29 November.
Good to see this change as Haris was pretty mediocre in the past.

Should play a season of county cricket if he wants to play for national team , his game needs to be improved against pace and bounce if he wants to play as an opener. We don’t want another Abdullah and Saim in the team.

We should be very careful in drafting him, alot of young players when thrown in international circuit go completely 360'c.

He should play in the middle order. He's not a test opening batsmen. Burger will have a field day against him and Sahibzada is not a option for tests which is cement like footwork

Mohammad Huraira shared following thoughts before his Test debut against West Indies:
"It is a huge privilege to represent your country in Test cricket, and the feeling that I get, I've always imagined what that feeling would be like, but when it happens, you can never explain it in words. It is just like you get a privilege, you get a responsibility like this, and with it comes more responsibility, so this was the first step, and now the second step for me is to make my team win the match by performing against West Indies through (a big) innings or creating an impact in the match."
"I topped the red ball team for two years, and along with that I also had a triple century and a double century (in first-class format), so there is no truth in it that I play for myself only and not for the team"
"I always tried to work on my basics and technique. I also focus a little on my biomechanics, and I think this is very useful for red ball cricket."
"I was travelling with the team for the last few series, and I also shared the dressing room with all the players, so I learnt a lot from the opposition as well, then our own grades; our team also helped me a lot to learn new things. I also learned from all the senior players."
"I try to talk to everyone, communicate, engage, and try to take their experience through conversations. So it was a very good and healthy environment; there was a lot of good learning experience, and I would like to make it memorable."
"My ODI debut was against West Indies, and my Test debut is against West Indies, so yes, I will try to make it memorable, and there is a lot of excitement everywhere in the entire family, and everyone would be excited to see what I do because there is a legacy. I think that Chachu has achieved so much; he has achieved so many completions and much more. There are achievements, so I think I should just try to make it memorable, and not just this day but also make my entire career memorable and try to continue our legacy."
