Failed to understand why Saim Ayub is not being groomed for the ODI WC this year.
He could have been our wild card.
Who would he replace in the squad or xi ?
Stallions (led by Shadab Khan) beat Badshahs (led by Babar Azam) by two wickets by chasing down the target of 158 in 19.3 overs
Saim Ayub scored 50 in his side's successful chase whilst Shaheen Afridi claimed three wickets.
NZ "missing" XI due to IPL and other reasons
Devon Conway
Finn Allen
Tim Seifert
Kane Williamson
Glenn Phillips
Mike Bracewell
Mitchell Santner
Kyle Jamieson
Trent Boult
Tim Southee
Lockie Ferguesen
Generally when a team misses 3-4 key players, its called B team.
What will you call this when almost entire first choice XI is missing.
Shan Masood
Is there anyone in our ODI squad besides Fakhar Zaman who can be considered a proper power hitter? The ODI batting lineup appears to be lacking in strength. Players such as Haris Sohail and Imam-ul-Haq do not seem capable of winning matches or intimidating opponents, as they only seem to chip in runs. It would have been better to select Iftikhar Ahmed instead. I wish we could have included promising young talents like Saim Ayub and Muhammed Harris from the T20 team in the ODI squad.
Thats a valid suggestion even if he does replace Shan in the Squad very unlikely he will make the xi thou.
Why not just have one squad of 18 for white ball.
I think by having separate T20 and ODI squads we are only confusing ourselves.
ODI World Cup is round the corner which is the most important event in cricket. Just pick one damn squad and keep the players together.
If you wanna pick Haris Sohail, then ok pick him in T20s too. If Imam is your first choice as ODI opener, then keep in T20s too.
If M Haris & Saim Ayubs are your future, then keep them in ODIs too.
This nonsense needs to end.
Thats Ok. We need him in the squad just so that when team management realise their blunder part way through the World Cup picking Haris Sohail, he can be brought into the XI.
