What changes should PCB make to their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squad?

[BouncerGuy]

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has unveiled its 15-member squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but debates over controversial selections and tactical gaps have sparked calls for revisions before the February 12 deadline. With Pakistan aiming to defend their title on home soil, here’s a breakdown of potential changes to optimize the squad:

1. Reassess the All-Rounder Roles

The inclusion of Khushdil Shah and Faheem Ashraf has drawn criticism due to their inconsistent international records. Khushdil averages just 14.3 in ODIs with no half-centuries, while Faheem’s batting average of 10 and bowling average of 47 raise concerns about his utility.

2. Strengthen the Spin Department

The squad includes only one specialist spinner, Abrar Ahmed, despite Pakistan’s reliance on spin-friendly home conditions. This leaves the team vulnerable if Abrar underperforms or gets injured.

Recall Usama Mir or Sufyan Muqeem (dropped from the previous squad) to bolster spin options. Mir’s recent domestic form (e.g., 15 wickets in the Champions One-Day Cup) could provide critical support.

3. Address the Opening Conundrum

While Fakhar Zaman’s return is a boost, his partner remains uncertain. Babar Azam is not a regular ODI opener, and Saud Shakeel lacks experience in the role.

What do you think? Should PCB make any changes to their CT2025 squad?

[Hellion]

None. It's perfect.

 

[jamie smith]

Its a pathetic squad but I dont think any changes will be made.

Changes I would have made
Haseebullah for usman
maaz sadaqat for fakedil
abbas afridi for rana parchi
sufyan for hasnain
niazi for tt

 

[jamie smith]

None. It's perfect.

Maybe u are living in a parallel univese where Rana is same as gary sobers and fakedil is same as andrew symonds.

 

[Hellion]

You don't have any Sobers or Symonds in your domestic to replace them

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sajid Khan for Faheem Ashraf.

Open with Usman Khan or Saud Shakeel as a makeshift arrangement.

Hearing Haris might be ruled out of the CT, so bring in Akif as a replacement.

Best we can do tbh.

 

[jamie smith]

I agree but I can name 30 better all rounders than these 2 in our domestic setup.

You don't have any Sobers or Symonds in your domestic to replace them

 

[Hellion]

I agree but I can name 30 better all rounders than these 2 in our domestic setup.

Even Aamer Jamal has rubbish List A numbers, forget about other "allrounders".

 

[jamie smith]

no akif plz.He is another trundler,spray gun and run machine

Sajid Khan for Faheem Ashraf.

Open with Usman Khan or Saud Shakeel as a makeshift arrangement.

Hearing Haris might be ruled out of the CT, so bring in Akif as a replacement.

Best we can do tbh.

 

[Devadwal]

Anyone's who are not the part of team rated as sobers,Symonds or Akhtar .

 

[jamie smith]

Even Aamer Jamal has rubbish List A numbers, forget about other "allrounders".

Aamer jamal scored 82 not out against aus and followed it up with a six fer which these 2 can oly dream of

 

[Hellion]

If these alleged players were so good, there wouldn't be debates about Faheem vs Jamal.

Aamer jamal scored 82 not out against aus and followed it up with a six fer which these 2 can oly dream of

That's the only thing he has done. Also different formats . Faheem scored 91 in NZ in Tests.
Anyway , this is bottom of the barrel stuff. Won't make much difference.

 

[Hyder]

I d take imam in team. He can score runs on these pitches and he is a regular opener. No need of usman in squad when u arent playing him.

If haris is ruled out we are in deep trouble because only him and shaheen are bowling well nowadays

 

[mominsaigol]

Idrc, My squad would have been

1) Fakhar Zaman (Replaces Saim)
2) Saud Shakeel (Replaces Abdullah shafiw and opens for pakistan)
3) Babar Azam (no choice)
4) Rizwan (No choice as he's captain)
5) Agha (No choice atm)
6) Kamran Ghulam (again no alternative as Pakistan's stocks are low)
7) Tayyab Tahir (Again no choice + he's done well imo and i view him as a better batsmen then irfan khan niazi whos a run out machine)
8) Sajid Khan (Replaces Khusdil)
9) Sufiyan (Replaces Faheem)
10) Abrar (No replacement atm)
11) Shaheen Shah Afridi (No choice)
12) Naseem Shah (No choice)
13) Rauf (No choice)
14) Mohammad Abass (Better bowler then Husnain, Just give him a debut already)
15) Haider Ali (He's been in terrific Form atm, and can easily slot in at 6 as a replacement, otherwise carry on with usman khan if pcb believes a replacement keeper is needed)

Playing 11 i would play per game

1) Fakhar
2) Saud
3) Babar
4) Rizwan
5) Salman Ali agha
6) Tayyab Tahir
7) Haider Ali
8) Sajid Khan
9) Naseem
10) Shaheen
11) Rauf

^^ For pakistan conditons

For uae conditons

1) Fakhar
2) Babar (Just play pace early on, he's a bunny vs Spin)
3) Saud Shakeel
4) Rizwan
5) Salman Ali Agha
6) Tayyab Tahir
7) Sajid Khan
8) Naseem
9) Shaheen
10) Sufiyan
11) Abrar

Sajid Khan for Faheem Ashraf.

Sajid Khan has a bowling average of 37.88 in List A.

 

[mominsaigol]

Sajid Khan has a bowling average of 37.88 in List A.

I'm aware, but I do believe he's a better bowler now. Can always opt for noman chacha who will probably play for 2 more years

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan fan's haven't learnt the lesson after Yasir Shah ODI career and they played him in World cup 2015 where he was exposed eventually.

Playing the test cricket is totally different to limited overs cricket. Sajid khan is not a limited overs cricket bowler like Yasir Shah .

They recently play with Sufiyan than why not selected him instead talking about Sajid .

 

[jamie smith]

If these alleged players were so good, there wouldn't be debates about Faheem vs Jamal.

Anyway , this is bottom of the barrel stuff. Won't make much difference.

Even a person who doesnt watch cricket knows jamal is a better bowler and batter than rana

 

[jamie smith]

mehran mumtaz is also a good option

I'm aware, but I do believe he's a better bowler now. Can always opt for noman chacha who will probably play for 2 more years

 

[mominsaigol]

mehran mumtaz is also a good option

Forgot about him and yes they should take him, Gun spin talent

 

[jamie smith]

good batter as well

Forgot about him and yes they should take him, Gun spin talent

 

[BouncerGuy]

Forgot about him and yes they should take him, Gun spin talent

But people will keep crying that Rana is the best option... If he has performed in domestics and was in the PCB system then I would have been happy to take his name among others but his selection is crazy and his fans just cannot tolerate him being criticized.

 

[jamie smith]

Saad Masood
Mehran Mumtaz
Arafat Minhas
Qaim Akram
Mubasir Khan
Maaz Sadaqat

These 6 are light years ahead of Fakedil as allrounder

 

[Blackbradman]

Open batting with Saud and Fakar. Play left arm spinner who can dart as well as spin the ball.

 

[Azzurri]

Akif is bowling well. He should be in
Arafat minhas for khushdil
Sufyan for faheem
Saud to open
Usman in the middle order

 

[jamie smith]

But people will keep crying that Rana is the best option... If he has performed in domestics and was in the PCB system then I would have been happy to take his name among others but his selection is crazy and his fans just cannot tolerate him being criticized.

I would even take Amad Butt over this parchi.

 

[jamie smith]

Akif is worse than even Hasnain.
WAsim jr or Abbas should be in the squad.

Arafat minhas for khushdil
Sufyan for faheem

Usman in the middle order

 

[BouncerGuy]

Me too.. Amad has been performing well in domestics... Faheem came in on basis of BPL performance. A league where they cannot even pay the players properly...

 

[jamie smith]

Mohammad Nawaz can also be drafted in place of Fakedil.

I'm aware, but I do believe he's a better bowler now. Can always opt for noman chacha who will probably play for 2 more years

Based on what? His performance in a completely different format?

I don't see how you be against Faheem's selection while being for Sajid's.

 

[mominsaigol]

I don't see how you be against Faheem's selection while being for Sajid's.

In champions cup, Sajid played only one game but in that one game he had the best er and he wrecked havoc on the opposition.

Ik it's only one game, but based of what I saw, he seemed ready to spearhead our odi spin lineup.

Again I'm basing it off ove limited data and pure belief. I don't have any quantitative or decent qualitative arguments to use atm.

 

[jamie smith]

FAHEEM,SAJID TINDA AND NOMI PAP DONT MERIT A PLACE IN PAK ODI TEAM AND THATS IT.

[RedwoodOriginal]

Mohammad Nawaz can also be drafted in place of Fakedil.

Are you being serious? He averaged 100+ with the ball in the World Cup.

 

[jamie smith]

Arafat Minhas,Qasim Akram,Mubasir Khan and Mehran are better alternatives than Sajad tinda.

Would have liked Mehran Mumtaz but his batting is not good enough for 7.

 

[jamie smith]

One bad event doesnt make u a bad player.He is good enough to play as an all rounder and shouldnt have been dropped.
His 42 off 20 against Ind >>>>Rana and fakedils whole career.

No he is good enough to play at 7.

It wasn't just any event, it was the World Cup in India, where every team's spinners made a difference with the ball. Meanwhile, Nawaz took 2 wickets in 5 matches @ 111.5. Besides that India innings in the Asia Cup his batting is also non-existent. He's another fake all-rounder.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sajid Khan has a bowling average of 37.88 in List A.

They want someone who can hold the bat, and Sajid is the only specialist spinner who can bat a bit unfortunately. We do not have a decent spin-bowling all-rounder in Pakistan. Sufiyan Muqeem is a really good option, but our tail will become even longer.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Add proper spinners from domestic and kick out players inducted as a result of political interference

Sajid is not a serious option with the bat. And as an all-round option he is not better than Khushdil. Khushdil has much stronger all-round performances in domestic white-ball and PSL to merit a place in the side.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

cant agree with u

You don't have to. Nawaz's horrible numbers are there for everyone to see.

 

[jamie smith]

So I think Arafat minhas,Mehran Mumtaz,QAsim umar,Mubasir and Maaz are playing on Mars.

Wht did Shadab do in wc??
What about Imads performance against Indai where he couldnt even hit axar charsi??

 

[jamie smith]

If they had brains they couldve picked any 2 of them.

Good bro but instead of Jamal need to settle for Irfan Niazi

 

[DeadlyVenom]

@DeadlyVenom

They have some credit in the bank.

Nawaz has very little. One performance where he caught India off guard. The rest has been historic chokes.

Shadab was worse and he shouldn't be anywhere in the conversation either. And last I checked, Imad was retired.

[RedwoodOriginal]

Are we selecting him for the test team?

An ODI bowling average of 55 in 2023 (heavily inflated by wickets against West Indies), 111.5 in the WC and grand total of one ODI half century over a 7 year long career (that too against Ireland) is an absolute joke. There isn't a single year in his career after 2016 where he averaged even 20 with the bat in ODI. Those are tailender-like numbers for a supposed all-rounder.

Nawaz was given plenty of chances and was backed whole-heartedly in the white-ball sides. He failed misreably and shouldn't even be considered unless he does something extraordinary in domestic or shows he has become a better player.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Good bro but instead of Jamal need to settle for Irfan Niazi

Had they selected the same squad they had for the last series, with Saud and Khushdil coming in for Saim and Abdullah, I think most people would have been okay with the squad.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

You don't have any Sobers or Symonds in your domestic to replace them

Yes indeed but they can’t go with some club level cricketers who can’t bowl bat and field properly. It’s an injustice to players who performed and are waiting for their chances.

On merit these two players cannot be selected. Their past international records speaks for itself

Faheem with a batting avg of 10 and bowling avg of 40+
Similar shambolic stats for Khsudhil who was once chanted parchi by the whole crowd in the entire stadium now back inthe team through back door opened by Rizwan his friend from the same area.

Pakistan is friends 11 , I would be very happy to see them exit early losing all three games just like 2013. When they select such squads putting friends first before the team they deserve such embarrassments.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Had they selected the same squad they had for the last series, with Saud and Khushdil coming in for Saim and Abdullah, I think most people would have been okay with the squad.

Khsudhil is a club level player, he will against any top intl teams and that too in champions trophy.

If Saim and Abdullah are gone
Fakhar and Imam should be in for them who has done a bulk of scoring for the past 3-5 yrs in ODI cricket.

Asking Babar to open who has opened only a couple times before and he is a mainstay at no.3 just like kohli. Even Kohli couldn’t survive as opener lol

I am not convinced about Khushdil. But based on the requirement of the role, he is the best option available. Unfortunately.

Imam has never delivered in a pressure game. And he has glaring flaws in his game like lack of strike rotation, weakness against the short ball. Saud has opened in the PSL and should be in the ODI team so he is an acceptable makeshift option for that role.

Making Babar open though is an absolutely brainless decision that can't be defended at all. I just hope it doesn't happen again.

I remember when i created my should babar be an all format opener thread, and you were the first one to say no, you were also one of the first people who identified saim ayub's talent despite 25+ failures early on.

You and I have different cricketing views, but I've started respecting you alot since you're godly when it comes to figuring out if a certain players will succeed at a certain position or not.

 

[moghul]

Out : Faheem Botham , Khushdil Jayasuria , Usman Gilchrist, Ghulam Pontings

In: Waseem Jr, Noman , Mohammad Haris , Shaan Masood.

 

[mominsaigol]

Out : Faheem Botham , Khushdil Jayasuria , Usman Gilchrist, Ghulam Pontings

In: Waseem Jr, Noman , Mohammad Haris , Shaan Masood.

Usman Khan is a better domestic batsmen then Haris. Haris hasn't done anything in international since that Bangladesh game.

Usman khan for all his worth still scored a 50 against Australia in their own den in t20 and scored a 38 vs Eng in their own den.

Again nothing special but worth mentioning.

In domestics Usman has outperformed haris at every corner despite both of em facing the same bowlers on the same pitches. Usman is also better in leagues.

It makes zero sense for haris to replace him. Ik people hate usman khan, but atleast choose a suitable alternative?

Agree with wasim jnr, He should replace faheem.

Noman should replace khusdil as well.

Kamran Ghulam for shan masood isn't the worst option. Shan is better in List A domestics. But kamran has more metrics for international since he already has a 60 of 30 vs sa and a 100 against Zimbabwe which is more then what Shan achieved in his short one day career.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Good bro but instead of Jamal need to settle for Irfan Niazi

Irfan can't bowl. The team needs a hitter who can bowl if needed as 5th/6th bowler.

 

[mon858]

Has deadline passed?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Has deadline passed?

It's tomorrow I believe
