Watching Game on Hai now, man they are ripping into the team right now. Fakhar e Alam especially, the sarcasm is top notch. All of them seem to stress a strong domestic set up though. And not politicizing the PCB, as well as picking on merit.
Just relax guys.
What you are doing is exactly what happens in PCB as well. Today, since team has been battered by India, people are upset and waiting to suck blood .... two months later, couple of wins here & there everything will be forgotten.
Let the WC finish, then we’ll definitely put some demands via PP, which will be conveyed at the right place. This heat of the moment knit picking is exactly what they have to avoid.

We saw the 2nd string against Aus and they were just as poor. We will see a reaction and players will be kicked out, and then all bar Malik and Hafeez will return.

Dont forget to drop Imam for Sharjeel
I know more pressing needs are 1) kicking out seniors who perform once in a blue moon like Malik and Hafeez, and 2) kicking out the captain Sarfraz. But the 3rd task has to be to drop Imam and bring Sharjeel back. Never forget this task to improve Pakistan team.

I am not sure who should be IN the team, as I don't keep up with domestics enough. This is who NEEDS to be nowhere near the team:
Malik(retiring, is done anyway)
Hafeez(flash of brilliance here and there and has milked his career enough,time to go)
Sarfraz(looks a shadow of himself, looks utterly depressed, stressed, and not in a good space. Needs a break and prove himself in domestics)
Imam(solid average, don't think he's a "p word" He did deserve selection, BUT that strike rate is simply not good enough)
Haris Sohail(He is NOT good enough, unfit. Isn't a big match or pressure player. Not the best fielder either. Useless runs)
Asif Ali(personal tragedy aside, he doesn't warrant a place. A liability in the field, has had enough chances, yet hasn't availed them)
Hasan Ali(Extremely out of form, needs to put in the hard yards in domestic)
Fahim(NO)
Wahab Riaz(Big heart, gives it his all, but doesn't have much left because of age, not a good future investment, need to give his spot up to a new player)
These players need to be on notice to improve or get dropped:
Shadab(hasn't done anything in a while, living on reputation and that ONE review)
Fakhar(has been found out, still may be another chance to get back in form)
Imad(needs to perform when it matters, as far as being next captain and all, that is another discussion in itself)
These new players need to be tested
Haris Rauf
Mir Hamza
And honestly don't know of other upcoming players. Feel free to add

Imam deserves a long rope after the WC, but he was never ready to start in this WC. I fear the aftermath of this tournament will dent his confidence.

Imam is our next captain and to be honest we need him now that we have invested in him. He has fire in his belly, speaks well, seems to have an aggressive mindset (read his recent interviews).
I also liked the fact that he didnt waste the DRS review today when he was given out lbw. I know 99.99% of other Pakistani batsmen would have used it. This shows he is not as selfish as we think he is.
Look, make no mistake. He is not Mathew Hayden or Saeed Amwar, but is the best we got.
Sharjeel can still find his way in the team at a different position (one down?). Babar can shift to no.4.

First things first, when we are building a team for future and include same sort of players then we should not be expecting different results. By this I mean filling the team with accumulators, i.e. if your future team has Imam, Babar, Haris and Rizwan in the same line up then your par score would be 280-300 while others would be playing for 330+, bottomline is results would be the same.
Ideally our future team should have the following combination.
5 batsmen (including WK)
1 batsman (who can bowl)
2 bowlers (who can bat)
3 bowlers
We shouldn't focus of throwing in our best accumulators but should be focused on getting our combination right. The most important element of the above combination are the 5 batsmen. Of these 5 batsmen we should further break them down into 2 accumulators and 3 power / stroke players.
We all know Babar has a place locked down as accumulator and if we are playing Rizwan as keeper he would take the 2nd spot of accumulator. Ideally I would not select Rizwan but there ain't a keeper in domestics who is ready yet. So when I decide on playing Rizwan I would have to give up the option of another accumulator even though some good players would miss out. This is when discipline is important and sticking to your combination becomes important.
The current biggest dilemma that Pakistan cricket has is finding these 3 power / stroke players from its domestic setup. From the top of my head the following names comes into equation (Fakhar, Asif Ali, Umar Akmal, Khushdil Shah). Only Fakhar nails down this spot as others although being good at hitting they ain't consistent and neither they are fit enough. Albeit Khushdil should be given some T20s to show his mettle as he had an outstanding Pakistan Cup.
Having looked at above mentioned resources, I would be concerned. This is where Pakistan cricket has to step think out of the box. This is where they need to invest in some coaching, biometrics, deep analysis, etc to develop the power game of someone like Ahmad Shahzad, Haris Sohail, Shan Masood, Asad Shafique, Iftikhar Ahmed. I mentioned these players because they have the ability to play consistent good cricket but their roles in team should be changed from accumulator to power players and they should be coached, if ready should be in the team.
The role of batting allrounder is where Hafeez would be missed and should ideally be replaced with Umar Amin, Agha Salman or Hussain Talat. I would pick Amin here because of frankly speaking he is better of the 3 mentioned here.
The 2 bowling allrounders should ideally be a spin and pace allrounder. Out of Imad and Shadab only one should play unless the conditions demand another spinner. Of them both I would pick Shadab, simply because Imad hasn't taken his fitness of late seriously and we dont wanna be giving cheap runs away in field and neither want an investment in unfit player. For pace allrounder its so sad the way Faheem's batting went had he improved his batting this was his slot nailed down. Since he is out of question I would bring in Amad Butt into this line up. I have seen him bowl of late and he has added a yard of pace to his bowling together with some clean hitting at deep end.
For our 3 bowlers, we know by now that Amir and Shaheen are locked for 2 spots. However, I really want to see we develop a proper spinner going forward as spinners are way to go against non Asian sides. For the spin option I would invest in Raza Hasan. The guy has a really good guile to his bowling but I'm not sure if he has got his head right or not. Depending on Raza's mental situation I would wanna give chance to Usama Mir. Bottomline we need a frontline spinner.
The team for future hence should look something like this.
1. Fakhar Zaman (Power Batsman)
2. Ahmad Shahzad (Power Batsman)
3. Babar Azam (Accumulator)
4. Haris Sohail (Power Batsman)
5. Rizwan (Accumulator)
6. Umar Amin (Batting allrounder)
7. Shadab Khan (Spin allrounder)
8. Amad Butt (Pace allrounder)
9. Mohammad Amir (Pacer)
10. Shaheen Shah (Pacer)
11. Raza Hasan / Usama Mir (Spinner)
I know people will not agree with the line up above but we gotta play the correct combination rather than throw in a bunch of accumulators simply because they are our best batsmen.

Like him or hate him, I can promise you, Umar Akmal will be back. In this WC He would have fared far better than a useless senior like Malik. This guy is the real hack in the team.
I would take his 30-40 runs at a SR of 85+ over Malik's "accomplishments" and given his track record in England, with an average barely scraping double figures.

We do need to panic.
The problem is that we have not panicked over the past 4/5 years. The same nonsense selections, persisting with old timers or unnecessary last minute changes just for the sake of it. We are at no.9 on the points table just above Aghanistan.

Again like Shadab he is not the case that needs immediate addressing.
He is decent player who with some fine tuning and hard work can actually be world class in couple of years. He is not a complete article but then you don’t get one in our domestic cricket

Title should be who will remain. I don't see many to continue their career in Pak jersey, just ordinary bunch of cricketers
I didn’t say not to panic - I said not today when emotions are high. Let the WC finish - PP even can send a petition to PM’s office, but today I think there is more anger than logic ..... I would have picked 13 or 14 of these 15 players (given that Sarfraz has to be there), so don’t think selection is the main issue here.

Post world cup Pakistan team ?
I feel that shoaib malik, wahab riaz, hassan ali, hafeez, and sarfraz days are numbered. They must go for future Pakistan team and long term team build up plans
Coaching staff including Mickey author, Azhar Mahmood, batting / fielding coaches must leave as well, as we need new approach and strategy with new coaching staff to accommodate modern LOI vision.
Imam needs to be rotated regularly and only given matches against weaker teams until he improve his SR and ability to rotate the strike.
All players over 32+ shall be dropped regardless of their skills
Pakistan should replace UAE with other options for home series. Slow UAE pitches are big part of Pakistani recent decline.. UAE simply don't suit us anymore..May we can try England to be our new home again until security situation in Pakistan to improve.
Time to inject new opener, decent middle order batsmen, keeper and specialist spinners (off / leg spin ) and aggressive fast bowlers in the team.
Lastly Inzi bahi shall be replaced as well. It is time for him to move on from cricket for good.
What you think agree or disagree let's discuss !

England.
1. Great support - much better than UAE. Remember the matches vs Australia? Even England cricket fans will turn up. Matches will truly look good as an experience.
2. Pitches aren't what they used to be. Much truer. Ball comes on to the bat.
3. An advantage of improving Pakistan's fast bowling - rather than attritional spinners. Batting will grow by leaps and bounds too.
4. Good hours for TV. People can watch post work.
5. Opportunity to get county contracts for players.
I see no downside at all.

If Malik does not retire, he should get the boot.
Hafeez should retire before he goes down Malik's path.
Sarfaraz will probably stay a few more series while they figure out a replacement captain, then Rizwan will take over Keeping duties (at least in ODIs). Sarfaraz should stay T20i captain till the world cup, as he has been quite successful in that format.
Hasan should be dropped and told to fix his bowling and attitude.
Wahab should be dropped forever.
Imad should also be dropped, Umer khan should come in his place.
Should stick with Imam for maybe 2 more series, see how he goes.
Sharjeel should make his way back in, that way we will have 3 openers in our squad. A Fakhar-Sharjeel opening partnership will be devastating to oppositions.
Asif should be dropped and told to improve his game in domestic or perhaps even t20 leagues.
Hafeez should retire before he goes down Malik's path.

Anyone unfit needs to be booted out so no place for Haris Sohail. Plus he is nothing special.
ECB have rejected this because it'd clash with their home international and county season.
Unless we want to be playing between OCT-MAR when rain will interrupt the matches.

Malik, Hafeez and Sarfraz ko dhake marke nikalo.
Imad should stick to T20I. Send Hassan "Wagah border" Ali and Shadab Khan back to domestic cricket and hopefully they'll return with a bang.

This.
Shadab Khan and Hasan Ali have the potential but need a domestic season to groom their skills.
And they still have time on their side.
What they need to do is play domestic till we play our next ODI series which is in December/January I guess.

Malik And Hafeez are planning to retire. However Amir is going no where, he is here to stay.
Question is that of Captaincy, so Far Sarfaraz 's captaincy has long been in doubt, that Champions trophy win in 2017 was not due to his captaincy and was an isolated success (don't want to say fluke)
Since emergence of Mohd Rizwan, Sarfaraz can be replaced as well.
ODI Captaincy candidates
Imad Wasim, Shadab or Hafeez (he will delay retirement if Captaincy offered). Shoaib Malik should be dropped his real age is 42 and performance has dropped greatly.
Hasan Ali too should be axed if he can't imporve his performance.

Changes you want in the Pakistan team post ICC World Cup 2019
I would definitely want a proper spinner who can actually spin the ball and Zafar Gohar name came to my mind, Haris Rauf can be given chances against weaker teams first, Khushdil Shah can be tried in place of Hafeez and there is dire need to find a dynamic opener to partner Fakhar while Imam can come at 1 down as even though he is limited in strokeplay he puts heavy price on his wicket, Rohail Nazir performances can be monitored as he is doing fine at U19 level currently, also a swing bowler who can consistently bowls around 135k+ will be ideal too.

So anyone knows about any genuine swing bowler we are having in domestic cricket apart from Haris Rauf who can be lethal with the new ball.

I would suggest that Sarfraz, Malik, Hafeez, and Asif to removed from team and squad for good. Shaheen, Hassan, and Husnain sent back to domestic cricket and replaced by those who are performing currently in domestic cricket.
We will need to rebuilt and test.

1)Sarfraz should not play odis after worldcup. Need to groom rizwan for next worldcup
2)Wahab is also aging so need another speed star for odis.haris rauf is not bad option
3)bring in saud shakeel and other promising batsmen to replace malik and hafeez in the squad
4)Need to Develop attacking spinner instead of imad who is not right option
5)fast bowling allrounder is need for odis .Ammad butt is not bad choice
6)Need to develop backup opener for fakhar who should play modern day cricket
These should be goal to strengthen the pak odis team .apart from these changes other players should retain their spot

Who should replace Haffeez post WC???
Harris Sohail taking over malik ( thanks God)
who can replace Haffez? Few i can think are
1) Hussain Talat - Decent bat, very poor power hitting, added bonus of decent seaming option
2) Ifthikhar Ahmad - Decent Bat, excellent against short ball, mediocre against full pitch, more than handdy offie, can bowl 6/7 overs
3) Umar Amin - I believe excellent batsmen, perfect for no5, attacking player, power hitting good... Collingwood type bowler, extemly fit, good fielder
4) Asif Ali - great power hitting, good agaisnt short ball, very very poor temprament, liability in the field
5) Aamer Yamin - i think had potential to be a poor man's Ben Stokes.. can grow into something good but a far looking chance
Some hounerable mentions - Saif Badar - Abid Ali ..
No Akmals plz

Umar Amin. We need another seamer in the line up plus he has been amongst runs of late.

not sure why hassan mohsin isnt getting picked in PSL.. he did excellent in pakistan cup.. karachi is wasting him and they wasted Aaamer yamin too .. aamir yamin needs to bat up the order
Ammad butt is picked in CPL.. we will see how good he is ...

Yamin is a good batsman but he has no pace this is where he needs to improve. Hasan Mohsin is a proper middle order batsman and will prove handy in long LOI. Ammad butt I feel will be like Pandiya.

How abt first hope and pray they make it to semis. Before dreaming of something we didnt come prepared to do in the first place. Bringing Hafeez and Malik was a terrible decision they should have been dumped in 2017 CT.

Let's get to the semis first. You guys get too high after a win. Even once we are in the semis we will have India or Australia more than likely who usually beat us black and blue in WC matches.
Just concentrate on the Afghanistan game.

Firstly we need to target the Semis.
Winning a World Cup doesnt mean players will get eternal careers and play till the age of 70. Australia won in 2007 but most of their players who were at the end of their careers retired pretty soon after that.

I forgot to mention in the post that i don't think this team can win the WC & also a team as inconsistent as pakistan's team should not win this tournament but i was just wondering what if this team this would it be more harmful for Pakistan in long run just like our CT17 win.

None of the above. Only one of Saif Badar, Khushdil Shah or Saud Shakeel
That is Australia one of the most professional team in the world & a team that follows a very strong structure. Pakistan neither professional nor have a good structure. I know they can't play forever but still i think these so called senior players will play at least 2-3 years if we win WC & that will definitely hurt us long-term

Not quite sure but all I know is our top 4 looks Amazing after this tournament with the exclusion of Hafeez.
1. Fakhar Zaman (Remains)
2. Imam-Ul-Haq (Remains)
3. Babar Azam (Remains)
4. Haris Sohail (Replaces Hafeez permanently)
Damn our batting is going to be winning matches with that top 4, just need to get a couple good lower order hitters now.

agree.... i think Khushdil Shah, Saud Shaqeel, Umar Amin and Iftikhar Ahmad should be fully motivated and going full guns trying to earn a permanent spot... I wouldnt mind any of these, personally would like Umar Amin as i think he is similar to Harris Sohail and adds that collingwood type bowling option + he is extremly fit which adds a gun fielding option in the team. Khushdil Shah is also good but needs to do 1 more good season in domestic and PSL .
