Inzamam will not pursue a contract extension after 31st July, so who should be his successor?
 
No idea. Most of the options sound pretty bleak. Maybe Bazid Khan or get someone foreign in?
 
Amir Sohail is right choice , he understands modern cricket and knows about domestic as well
 
Bazid khan picked aamir yameen in his worldcup squad and dropped shoiab malik.
He would be ideal
 
Someone with great domestic knowledge alongside a paid foreign selector. Shoaib Malik/Misbah with Imran Tahir
 
Bazid khan picked aamir yameen in his worldcup squad and dropped shoiab malik.

interesting choice... he actually did pick Aamer Yamin, which for me was a great nomination...
I think he is under-rated, Bazid that is... he has good cricketing brain but would PCB be that brave?

with all the changes and bish bosh happening in the PCB this might happen ....
 
one name that rings right note is Mudassir Nazar... he has done an excellent job as head of NCA and we have seen some amazing talent coming out of u-19 level ... but the question is should he continue to do that or take the Cheif Selector role... if he does, who should head NCA...

people with fake egos like Yousaf, Younis, Razzak, qadir, should be kicked away far and far and far from the setup .. they wont contribute anything other than crying out all the time .... not interested in cry-babies...
 
Bazid should get a chance. I really dont know other options.

Perhaps wasim akram. How about Rameez raja? I am saying Rameez raja because he keeps screaming about power hitting etc. Why not give him a chance to pick such players? well not really, i just want to take him off air :yk
 
Any selector that has an eye for talent and has the intergity to pick the best talent.
 
Would like to see Rashid Latif, he is confident and back up all his decisions with logic.

One of the worst choice possible. He has defended selection of younis khan in ODIs in the past. That alone is a blot on his resumé.

Yes. Let's fill our team with asad, khurram, fawad, anwar, tabish etc. Logic and him don't go together.
 
Preferably someone who came after 90s with passion, honesty and good eyes on talent.
 
A guy that doesnt just watch PSL. We need a guy that is passionate about the job and actively seeks out talent. All the Chief Selectors have ever done is to look at Cric info score cards and more recently watch PSL.
 
Whoever it is, I hope it's not someone who brings back the likes of Ahmed Shehzad, Asad Shafiq (ODI's).
 
I suggest bring some foreigner, who i am sure will give chances to the right people.
 
someone who hasnt done the role before. personally i dont think inzi has done that bad a job..in general he has picked squads that have been pretty good. Nobody gets it right 100% of the time..

However the captain and coach for me should be the ones really pushing for selections. they should be given a professional scout and togetehr with a cheif selector decide who to pick..

I dont want amir sohail, I dont want the rashid latifs and younis of this world as they are all biased and their judgement is pathetic..
 
Recycling is going to be start again
New Selector will Moin or Mohsin

Another disaster for our weak team

Guys let's pick your favorite cricket team for upcoming years
I will support England ( the world champions)
 
Inzamam will not pursue a contract extension after 31st July, so who should be his successor?

Someone who will attends EACH AND EVERY First-class and List A matches.
It does not matter how many international matches he played. Only the eye over players and intention of searching talents from domestic should be the criteria of appointing CS.
 
Names of Moin and Mohsin are revealed on Twitter.
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION], what do you think about Moin and Mohsin ?
I think they will be poorer than Inzi
 
Next selector should be Bazid Khan who is knowledgeable when it comes to the domestic set-up. Similar to what England have with Ed Smith, taken a pundit and made him a selector which has been successful.

But knowing Pakistan, will go back to some tried and tested failure...
 
Bazid Khan with a panel consisting of Misbah and Malik.

Malik will one day flourish in the PCB capacity.
 
Someone who is committed to the role and also willing to take risks. Selection is not all about selecting someone with the best average .

I don't know who fits the role. Fully expect the PCB to mess it up. But anything should be better than Inzi who rarely made any changes regardless of the conditions.
 
If Bazid Khan becomes CS people will moan about nepotism as his uncle is the PM. Pakistani fan deserve people like Intikab Alam or some other 70 year oldie who could careless.
 
Someone who has worked or has been involved in domestic cricket otherwise he will have to wait for domestic tournaments or PSL to happen to know anything about upcoming or unknown players.

Well Bazid cant select his uncle :))

On a serious note, if he is selected, it will all depend on his performance and whether he is able to select the right players for the team.
 
Honestly none of the names being suggested inspire any confidence.
 
Muhammad Waseem, anyone?

He would never get an opportunity, but he could be a good pick considering he knows most players in the domestic circuit and understands both the technical orthodox game and the so called modern game.
 
There's literally no way a foreigner could do this job or would ever be allowed to do so, so people should forget all notions of it.
 
Muhammad Waseem looks the best option


He made Hashin Mohsin the captain of PTV, gave talented youngsters an opprounity.
 
Names of Moin and Mohsin are revealed on Twitter.

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION], what do you think about Moin and Mohsin ?
I think they will be poorer than Inzi
Moin Khan was a disaster last time

If they go back to TTF then wasim Khan & co are no better
 
Who are the contenders for the job? any news on that?? may be poll can be added?:yawn

Exactly.

It is a shame we don’t utilize our best resources...
 
Bazid Khan.

Generally knows what he's talking when it comes to domestic cricket.
 
Salman Butt.....
He is ideal having played 2-3 seasons in the domestic circuit. He is knowledgeable and can take brave decisions. He can play the kind of role James Taylor played for England
 
Anyone who can bring justice to misused talents like Usman Salahuddin, Kamran, and Saud Shakeel (they were batting him at 7 or 8 at one point ����*♂️)
 
Selection committee should be
MISBAH UL HAQ
MUSHTAQ AHMAD
AQUIB JAVED AND RASHID LATIF
 
Honestly none of the names being suggested inspire any confidence.

So why keep calling for Inzy's head ?

Now we have Mohsin the Chaimaster Cheerleader, Iqbal "Farhat and Faisal in every squad" Qasim, or Haroon "Khurram Manzoor is a T20 player" Rashid to look forward to.

Come back and talk when one of those is appointed. So only thing going in Inzi's favour is that he isn't as bad as those numpties?


Yeah lets forget how he picked Malik and Hafeez in the WC side. Picked Hasnain who hadn't played a FC match yet and dropped Shinwari Pak's best bowler in last 2 years. He also picked Yasir Shah when Shadab wasn't available when Shah isn't even the best bowler in LQ let alone PSL (Inzi's holy grail) or Pakistan. Not a single middle order batsman was groomed to be part of the squad. Heck Pakistan's batting options were to play 2/3 of Hafeez, Haris and Malik where only one of them makes the side/squad on merit.


You might "forget" all of these follies by revolutionary shahab during your personality worship but others do not have the same luxury.
 
Would like to see Rashid Latif, he is confident and back up all his decisions with logic.

He mentioned today inzamam should have picked Asif Zakir, Usman Salahuddin, Saud Shakeel, Hasan Mohsin. I feel if he got the job it will be similar results as Inzi. Mostly good selections and a few bad
 
Who ever comes I hope we work towards the below lineup

Ahmed Shehzad
Sharjeel
Babar Azam C
M Rizwan WK
Ammad Butt
Kamran Ghulam
Khusdil Shah
Shadab Khan
Haris Rauf
Shaheen Afridi
Naseem Shah

Bench
Zafar Gohar
Backup Opener
Saud Shakeel
M Musa
M Hasnain

I criticised those decisions at the time but I can write you an even longer chargesheet against Iqbal, Rashid and co.

Yes do write it when you ever find me supporting them but Inzi cannot stay on just because he is marginally better than those numpties. It doesn't work that way :moyo2
 
Bazid Khan as he knows the domestic scene and will give those players a chance who are performing consistency well at the domestic level.

Mohammed Abbas and Abid Ali have been doing well in domestics & they have showed it is possible to make the transition from domestic cricket to international cricket.
 
Most of them are incapable

Make Hafeez retire and make him the chief selector with a good package. At least we will get rid off him :ma


I would love to see Younis Khan as chief selector, mind you he picked his own squad for T20 World 2009 and we know the results.
 
Anyone who has a cool and calm head, has no personal grudges with someone in the past, considers merit the most valuable thing when selecting, has a sound knowledge of our domestic structure, the prized cricketers in it and cares for Pakistan's benefit more than his own paycheck.

Although it's pretty hard to find people like these nowadays, that one should come close to having these traits in his personality, knowledge in his mind and character in his heart, be it anyone foreign or local.
 
Anyone who isnt going to pick there relatives in the team..also no tried and tested rubbish selectors from the past. :facepalm:
 
Bazid Khan is probably the best choice.

But what worries me the most is that 5 posters on here want Misbah as the Chief Selector/Selection Committee like seriously :))

Have we not learnt our lesson? - especially after his ODI captaincy tenure...

The delusions on here are real.
 
Bazid Khan looks like the right choice but there is no chance in hell PCB is thinking about him
 
Hopefully someone with actual qualifications. And not someone who gets the role just because they were a big name player in the past...

that would be nightmare scenario. Hafeez, Malik, Ajmal, Gul, Azhar will be playing the 2023 World Cup
 
Seeing names like Moin or Mohsin float around I’d personally rather Inzamam continue.

Bazid appointment may create some controversies he is relative with PM Imran Khan.

Misbah as CS will be appalling. He is the same guy who was bashing Shaheen till he proved him wrong
 
I will recommend but my wish is I could command them to appoint one of ramiz ,wasim or waqar they will surely bring young blood.
 
Chief selector Bazid Khan.
Other members:
Rashid Latif
Mohammed Akram
A past spinner or one of recent retirees like Shoaib, Misbah, Younis, Yousuf.

This would give enough coverage across regions for then to attend and monitor domestic, identify talent from their regions , balance of different types bowlers, keepers,batsman, recent modern game exposure, exposure to some t20 leagues and opposition teams, conditions, etc.

Only concern if they will get along with Bazid being young , maybe someone else will need to be chief.
 
Misbah as CS will be appalling. He is the same guy who was bashing Shaheen till he proved him wrong

be ready to have Asad Shafiqs, Azhar Aliz, Aizaz Cheemaz, Anwar Aliz and Akmalz on pak domestic in the team if Misbah is captain ... dont know what he is thinking these days... i actually liked the guy but he needs to really move on now ... he is taking an useless space in domestic and PSL teams and his method for LOI isnt suitable no more
