[VIDEOS] The curious case of Mohammad Nawaz

Nasty Naz said:
Obviously those people didn't know what they were talking about and Rizwan had an excellent domestic record. He is fulfilling his potential but the power has been an unexpected development.

Nawaz domestic record isn't anywhere as good and he is definitely not good enough to be a #4. Totally fine as a #7 and supposedly, if he is good enough to be #4, than the team having enough depth to play him at 7 makes the team much better.

Sometimes his bat doesn't always fire if he comes in late as per the issue we saw against SA when we narrowly beat them, best thing is give him a promotion and see how he does otherwise possibly even give Shadab that role.

The thing is Nawaz also bowls if he does bat at 4 he will proberly end up losing his bowling abut.

Look at shadab everyone wanted shadab to come up the order and totally failed.

Like i said that's our problem which is not giving our players more initiative and encouragement that they can do more.

Back your players is the name of the game.

Nawaz doesn't even bat at 4 for his domestic team or in psl it proberly would be a best if he started batting at 4 for his psl team.

Start small, Pakistan has an issue of finding a proper middle order batsman for white ball cricket in my personal view in terms of t20 Nawaz could possibly be that man or even Ifti.

In terms of ODI i would like to trial someone like Agha Salman in that middle order to bat alongside Saud Shakeel.

What a spell! 4/19 - changed the course of the game.
 
Nawaz was simply outstanding with the ball today. His spell had everything: accuracy, control and the crucial wickets when Pakistan needed them most. A match-winning performance.

He has got alot of potential as an all-format bowling all-rounder for Pakistan. Should get as many chances to represent Pakistan as possible.

Yeah, the great thing about him is he looks ready as a test option too. He won't do badly at all as the main spinner even and can be the sole spinner in sena venues. Add to that he scored a mountain of runs in qea a year ago, seems an exciting option.

That’s the difference between Nawaz and Imad. Here he flighted the balls, spun them and got wickets on a track that provided some assistance. Imad would have simply darted his way to 10 overs.
 
Nawaz's variations are remarkably subtle. Because he bowls with so much control he is able to deceive batters alot of times. I've seen him get batters out with straight balls a number of times in recent months. But I think what people are missing with these dismissals is that batters are not expecting the ball to hold its line and go straight on. That's Nawaz making them think a certain way after he has bowled a few turners at them.

I expected nawaz to be alot better due to the pitch turning so no surprise to me. The ball to get pooran was world class.
 
Babar's stubbornness and Saqlain's Yes man attitude cost us semi-final against Australia. Nawaz could make the difference.
 
As he has showed over the years, he is extremely accurate. Not only that, he now does it with a good amount of revs on the ball allowing him to extract anything in the surface and with a solid arm ball to deceive in between.

Add to it his batting ability, fitness and fielding, he is a perfect modern day cricketer.

Needs to be the main SLA in test cricket as well I believe as there is no other spinner who can keep it as tight with bit of drift and good amount of revs. His early career criticism of him not being able to spin it has been left far behind in last couple of years.

Do you think he will be better choice than Shadab in SENA?
 
Nawaz has improved massively. I think he is one of the players who require conditioning rather than strenuous coaching.

Depends what your looking for if you want spinning all rounder then nawaz if you want a batting all rounder then shadab.

I do not think that Shadab batting is that much better to be called a batting allrounder. He has not done something of that level in Odi cricket. Nawaz despite very less chances has done good in batting too.
 
Leaps and bounds is the phrase that comes to mind when thinking about Nawaz's improvements

and one more for him

Even shahdab and nawaz can do a better job then Ifti , Asif and Khushdil.

Whenever Nawaz is batting , there is something about him with bat style and confidence and even though he hasn't delivered with the bat hugely but I reckon it's just a matter of time till he become a consistent batter with loads of hitting ability

Nawaz has improved a lot and bowls nicely indeed, his batting is good too and will get better so long as he keeps playing.

However despite good bowling vs windies, we need to see how he does agaisnt teams who play spin well, if he is able to perform their than I am sold on Nawaz.

Yes I believe he can be if we are solely talking about spin bowling role and requirements in SENA. As the main spinner he is more consistent being an SLA along with generally extremely accurate and thus can be economical then almost all we have which is key in SENA where spinner has to keep it tight while pacers operate as aggressors.
 
Mohammed Nawz is recalled to the Pakistan test team that faces Sri Lanka , Nawaz was in the squad for the tests against Australia but had to withdraw from the squad due to injury.
 
Mohammad Wasim considering him a good spin all-rounder option as he gets picked for the Sri Lanka tour
 
Nawaz's FC stats since 2020:

790 runs in 9 matches @ 46.5. With 5 50s and a century.

28 wickets @ 34.96 with 2 five wicket hauls.


Bowling numbers may not look impressive to some. But they are quite good when you consider the state of pitches that have been dished out in the last couple of seasons.

Nawaz can play as a 2nd spinner in tests but he certainly isnt a good enough to do the main job

I think he will do well however I think Shadab may have a say in SENA conditions only.

Shadab has done very little of note in red-ball cricket, especially with the ball. He is also highly inexperienced in the longer format. I don't see him being in any kind of serious competition with Nawaz for now.

Shadab will play as a batting all rounder in SENA if he plays.
 
Lets see how he does with bat at number 7 as the so called all rounder in team.
 
Can someone explain what exactly earned Mohammad Nawaz a recall to the squad?

No doubt he was a decent allrounder, but recent numbers don’t back his selection.

PSL 2025: 4 matches, 48 runs, just 2 wickets
National T20 Cup: 3 matches, 89 runs, 2 wickets
