Who should bat at no. 3 for Pakistan in T20Is?

[Ball Blazer]

Salman Ali Agha recently said he would like to bat at No. 3 in Pakistan’s T20I lineup, which could push Babar Azam down to No. 4. Salman has been doing well in the ongoing Australia series, scoring a quick half-century yesterday, and he also batted at No. 3 during the Sri Lanka series.

Meanwhile, Babar has featured at No. 3 in matches against Zimbabwe and South Africa, but now Australia has seen Salman take that spot. With Pakistan having multiple options available, the big question is: Who should bat at No. 3 for Pakistan in T20Is?

“Apart from the opener and No.3, only three players have consistently scored in all the matches — and after that, no one even knows their batting number. Babar doesn’t know where he’s supposed to bat. Usman scores 47 and still isn’t sure if he’ll play the next game. Faheem features in one match, then disappears for the next two.

We don’t even seem clear about our own strength. Should we have a floater? Maybe — but only after No.4 is confirmed. Your top four must be fixed first.”
