Who was the best young player in PSL 3?

[hadi123]

Lots of young players have done well this tournament, but for you, who is the standout?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

He isn’t new but Talat, shown a lot of maturity

 

[TeymurBlake]

Hussain Talat has definitely been the most notable younger player performing right now.

 

[Goooby]

You're missing Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik from that list

 

[Arham_PakFan]

We've already seen Talat so I would go with Ibtisam,even though he seems to have been dropped by PZ.

Shaheen hasn't done anything,but he's shown he has the ingredients to do well.

 

[Plumb]

Ibtasim... I hope pcb pays attention and provide him good coaches and keep an eye on him.

 

[ataullah]

Ibtisam sheikh. I don't know why multan have an emerging player when he never gets a chance. There should be a rule to give a proper chance to emerging players. Saif badar is emerging batsmen and bats at 7/8 below sohail tanvir.

 

[HuzaifaE]

Talat is the one I want to see in national colors

 

[Mercurial]

Ibtisam Sheikh, hands down.

 

[Fahdi]

Hussein Talat has been the most impressive youngster from the list but he has been around since PSL 1 but this is the first time he has gotten a proper chance.

Agha Salman has been very impressive. Very raw but his strokeplay on the offside has been a thing of beauty. He has problems with the short stuff though, could be very good prospect for the national team.

Ibtisam Shiekh has been the most impressive among the Bowlers. For an 18 year old he has great control and variations but what has stood out for me has been his passion and fire. The kid seems to have the drive to succeed and at such a young age that is just lovely to see.

Salman Irshad is very raw and his action needs a lot of work but he was still able to clock 141-142 on a consistent basis. When he pitched the ball up he got genuine movement similar to Malinga and has bowled a few deliveries which bounced surprisingly which was also an attribute of Malinga that got him plenty of wickets(The first ball wicket against Misbah was one such delivery). If he works on his action under some proper coaching then he should be able to clock 145+ with consistency, combine that speed with the movement he was getting he can be genuine wicket taker in the mold of Waqar.

I think I would find Ibtisam Shiekh more exciting if we didnt already have Shadab.

Shadab infact is even younger then Itbisam, and has already achieved a lot in his short career.

I agree about Ibtisam Sheikh bit. We have Yasir Shah in Tests and Shadab in LOI's so Ibtisam Sheikh is gonna struggle to get in the Pakistan squad.

If the thread had opened just after Shaheen's fantastic performance, the voting might have been different. I propose to have another thread opened for voting AFTER the tournament has ended to get the correct picture.

1/40 odd - wonder if Shaheen drops in estimation?

 

[MenInG]

So the final verdict?

 

[Amirforpresident]

Shaheen Afridi and Hussain Talat.

 

[Someone]

Hussain Talat

 

[Hasan123]

Shaheen Afridi as Talat already emerged last year.
