[VIDEOS] Why has Pakistan run out of quality spinners? Is it because of lack of talent or poor selection policies?

[BouncerGuy]

Why are they not grooming left chinaman spinners like how India has in the form of Kuldeep Yadav?

We have a guy named Faisal Akram. Good left arm chinamen. Can be the one for the future. Has been bowling well.

Mushtaq Ahmed, the spin coach of Bangladesh, spoke during a press conference ahead of 1st Test against Pakistan:

"Thankfully, Pakistan has good spinners. As a spin bowling coach or consultant, I think the PCB will definitely consider hiring someone like Saqlain Mushtaq or Abdur Rehman to work at the grassroots level. I also work at the grassroots and first-class levels, and Pakistan needs coaches and consultants like Saqlain Mushtaq, Abdur Rehman, and Saeed Ajmal to benefit from their experience."

As Sajid Khan, Noman Ali, and Zahid Mehmood have been recalled to Pakistan's squad for the second and third Tests against England, while the pitch probably remains that flat, will it work?

assistant coach himself not looking confident about whether the wicket will spin or not as he has already said in press conference that he's hoping pitch will offer some turn by day 6.

It seems like poor selection is the main reason.

It is hard to believe that Pakistan ran out of quality spinners.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Since Saeed Ajmal and Yasir Shah's departure, Pakistan never had a good spinner. Never. I don't rate Noman Ali High or Sajid Khan etc.

The main reason for me is that the spinners these days are under-prepared for red-ball cricket because of the influence of T20 cricket.

ATG spinners? One guy is 38. Other one is 31. One was averaging 38 other one averaging 33 before this series.

It is a low sample. Another thing is Pakistan (both fans and ex cricketers) were under the impression Pakistan is full of beastly fast bowlers that can terrorize batsmen anywhere. It took a while for them to realize they are not actually hunters but hunted. Any tournament they go "We should play 4 fast bowlers". This was the general sentiment among pak fans. Check the hype threads about Pak fast bowlers in the last few years. The pitches that NZ got were anaomolies. Any time INdia rolled out such pitches they lost. India won on pitches which offer only hint of assistance to spinners. India rarely lost matches at home until this series. One that they lost were too much friendly for spinners.

Ya i agree with your well made points pak made a mess for making those flat roads which was not helping anyone finally they understood spin pitches is the way to go at home.
