What is the logic behind Pakistan probables for series vs Zimbabwe not playing First-class games?

[Xoib]

I mean isn't the purpose of the new system to improve standard of 4 day cricket and here 22 of the top cream are missing out since they have to do a 10 day bonding to pummel Zimbabwe.
I would not even have picked babar and Shaheen for this series let them play 4 day cricket and get them enough practice for nzl tour.

Defensive mindset of misbah. With malik not there i dont think he trusts any of the youngsters to even win against zimabwe without babar and shaheen. He would prefer to rather win here and save his reputation and then if we get whitewashed against nz he will blame it on lack of experience or lack of practice games.

Shaheen should definitely played 4 day

I think babar should lead the odi side as he hasnt got much experience in leading as for shaheen he should defo play the 4 day and also get some rest azwsll hes consistanly been playing for last couple months.also abdullah should play in the 4 day whilst danish azam should have played in the odis and t20s

I think babar should have been thier only becouse he hasnt captain the odi team yet

Non whatsoever. Time in the middle is worth 10× pointless camps.

Valid question but they could have been able to just play one match before the start of the Zim series, if it would have been multiple matches then definitely that would not have made sense. I also think an international white ball series requires a different prep to a 4 day game. Also not to forget that separate bio secure bubbles in different cities which could have played a role. So these are few thing which had to be taken into account.

I guess it's to keep them in a bio-secure bubble ahead of the series.

People are unnecessarily bashing Misbah or PCB - had they carefully read one of my posts few weeks back, should have realised. During CV days, arrangements of smaller series is a waste of money & time - for 6 LO games, players will be isolated for 4+ weeks.

This I explained why PAK-BD one Test & one ODI was a no go .....

Even though no harm in a practice match but Saheen should have been rested ....the boy is playing nonstop cricket for some 5 6 months

The bigger worry is I don’t see him being rested for PSL 5, NZ, SA Or PSL 6 either

The likes of Abdullah, Shadab, Shaheen, Haider, rohail, Rauf needs as much 4 day cricket as possible at this stage of their career for development and are missing out since Misbah needs to see them against the might of Elton chigumburah

It's not possible, should be pretty easy to understand. QeA trophy round 1 ends on 28th Oct and 1st Zim ODI is on 30th(12 noon). Players will have to travel from Karachi to Pindi and then there isn't enough time to conduct mandatory 2 tests for Coronavirus before being integrated into the bubble for National Team.

This is a hectic process and hence better to go the way they've gone. If Zim series started from 1st Nov onwards then they could & should have allowed players to play QeA first round

Not possible in COVID scenario

Have tou guys forgotten there is a epidemic going on and it takes a lot of money and effort to maintain a bio secure bubble.
