What's new

Who won't be in the Pakistan ODI team post 2019 World Cup, and who will replace them?

We can wish for all we want but its not going to happen unless you can get through Inzi's beard to his brain. Who said Sarfaraz will go? He won't. Is the board strong enough to kick his fat bum out? Time will tell.

You're going to get more over-weight trash coming in through media contacts, namely Sharjeel, Akmal, Abid, Yasir (yes he will be back in ODIs before you know it). Instead of getting things right in terms of fitness, don't be surprised if we go even more backward.

As long as there is a lazy, egoistic, nepotism ridden management at the helm who think cricket is a sport and not a responsibility, things will not change in the next 1 or 10 years.

f this will be the case then i can finally say goodbye to our cricket rather then waste my time watching these jokers play. Have hardly ever missed a game of us be it test, odi or test for the last 15 years, would even stay awake till 5 when i have work at 8 just to watch. I guess you got to let go of somethings eventually. Will see after the world cup to see the shape of our team which will decide the fate.

You have ignored the question again, rightly so as you don't have an answer. I am one of the biggest supporter of Babar and Imam where have i criticized them, and where i have it been justified just like the rubbish shot which both played. If you read up i said we should bulid team around them and even said harris with his fitness won't last long even though i am his firm supporter. Maybe because you don't have answers thats why you are lying. Please for future just admit you don't like harris for whatever reason, rather then lying and making up stuff. Babar is better then Harris, Imam not yet, Harris is our second best batsmen after Babar whether you like it or not.

You believe what you want. I have told you what I think. Stats are not always a clear indicator. Haris is unreliable and does not have age on his side. if he was so great why are they playing Malik before him? Why? are they stupid? do they see something you dont? perhaps you should send your CV for the coach job? He is unfit, we know this. he is loose outside the offstump..His dismissal against the windies was pathetic. if he is our second best batsman then we are in big trouble. I have nothing personal against any of these players but they need to earn their places.. I'm tired of hearing how amazing haris is. As if he is the second coming of Bradman. he's not that good.
 
[MENTION=138958]Khan12[/MENTION] by the way to answer your question yes I would play him instead of Malik but not instead of Asif because Asif has a specific role.

Still better than Khushdil

Khushdil averages 47-48 with bat with SR of 97 and 8 100s under his name in list A. He was also the 2nd higher run scorer in Pakistan Cup 2019. His technique can be worked upon but he has some big shots. On top of that he is 24, he deserves a long run on merit and should be groomed in my opinion, he is also a handy spinner. He can be a match winner if groomed well.

I have also rated Adil Amin but at the moment I would go for Iftikhar Ahmed who has performed for number of years in domestics but this year he really showed confidence in PSL, he played couple of game changing knocks and is a pretty good off spinner as well.

Selection committee should definitely keep Adil Amin in the radar but I would go more Khushdil and Iftikhar at the moment, both will be perfect for modern day LOI.

Imam / Fakhar ( Depending upon if we want to go all out in first 10 or not)
Babar VC /C
Fakhar (VC) Imam
Umar / Rizwan WK (If Rizwan is selected as keeper than Imam might have to sit out as cant have more than 2 consolidators in the modern ODI cricket)
Iftikhar Ahmed (Really decent off spinner)
Khushdil Shah (Decent off spinner)
Shadab Khan
Hassan Ali
Amir (C) /VC
Haris Rauf

Bench
Amad Butt
Zafar Gohar (Can play alongside Shadab with Shadab at no 7 when spin friendly conditions)
Wahab Riaz
Aamir Yamin (If we need a seam bowling all rounder instead of either Khushdil or Iftikhar)
Haris Sohail/ Saud Shakeel

Players out: Hafeez (have to retire one day),Malik, Sarfaraz

If we dont get a bowling coaching like Bond, Waqar, Shoaib, Donald and a good head coach I think the likes of Hasnain, Shaheen along with Musa, Naseem Shah will be better off to play atleast one full season of domestic cricket and PCB should ensure they get all the matches.

Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Shadab Khan and Hasan Ali need to be kicked out

After WC the above underperformers need to be booted and a new team need to be created based on domestic performances.. I repeat.. Domestic peformances....!!

Not the PSL which shows flashes of brilliance for players in short term.

We need to pick players who have shown the grit and performances to win in the longer format and for god sake get good attacking spinners like IND did after their CT debacle..

Get 3-4 batsmen whose average and strike rates are way above these pathetic Maliks and Hafeez who have been the main reason of PCT downfall including Sarfraz..

Im sure if nepotism continues we will not see PAK team win any matches in future...

Our Cricket is destroyed like Hockey..
 
So dissapointed with Hasan Ali, where did it go wrong. All he does is bowl short and wide. I mean what happened to attacking the stumps.

He has been a huge failure. A big mistery.

Yeah same here but he has being like this for the past 3-6 months so it is team management to be blamed for picking him for the games

Absolutely not, we have players in the system unfortunately don't have selectors and too much corruption in the regional associations who all want their children to play for Pakistan and for that they can do anything. They can crush players of merit. To be successful in ODI format and Tests you need to nurture and back. The only backing is for Akmal family.

Inzamam ul Haq has a role to play in our pathetic defeats. Performers in Natl. T20 Cup, PSL, PAkistan One DAy Cup all were ignored by him in 3 years of his tenure. As he was driven to protect Shehzad, and his nephew Imam
 
The captain/WK definitely needs to go

But Rizwan isn't a great replacement
Hasan Ali got way too overexcited with his earlier performances and the hype got to him
Malik/Hafeez should retire anyway

This team is just as poor as the one picked today
 
Lets drop Hasan Ali for Shaheen who concedes even more runs. Should have given Hasnain a chance today instead of Hasan. Can't throw everyone out unless better replacements are available.

Honestly, this will be a long process. This team is below average. One or two changes won’t do much...
 
sarfaraz replaced by rizwan
hafeez replaced by haris sohail
malik replaced by kushdil shah(power hitter with good average)

shadab is in bad form, but for now should be replaced by mohammad asghar(young spinner, impressive record in all formats)

hasan ali replaced by usman shinwari(who was pak's best bowler before world cup)
or mohammad husnain
 
The first three should be booted out for sure. Can't wait to see the back of them. As far as Shadab and Hasan are concerned, they should be dropped and sent away to domestics and prove they are good enough to get back in the side.
 
Clean the entire house. Sarfaraz , Malik, hafeez, they all need to go. The rest are ok, they will do well once the middle order is strengthened.
Coaches need to go too. Azhar Mahmood was never a great bowler. How the hell is he a bowling coach? We have so many other legends of the game who can provide the much needed support.
Secondly, most of our players are jahil. I don't think a foreign coach suits them. They need someone who can speak their language
 
I thought Shadab was awful today. Totally froze and bowled absolute tripe. HA has been poor for a while, no control and poor strategy under pressure.

why dont you agree that we dont have any good talent yet in domestic and if there is a good player our media and our pabezz are destroying them

and if they comes oout from them then the fans will destroy them like now we have only 4 good players whoz average are acceptable at international level

Shadab is a good player and has potential.

Muhammad Hafeez is vital for this team. He is the only player who can play a quick and long innings. It's his last tournament anyway though, he should not be around after this.

Shoaib Malik is a joke.

Sarfraz's time is also up.

Hafeez always goes missing in a run chase. Should be booted asap.
 
I am disappointed but will never lose hope and will support my team no matter what. Pakistan should look for skilled players rather than picking up players based on reputation. In todays match we lost because we made big mistake by opting to bowl first because as we all know how bad chaser we are. If you are brave enough to bowl first then you got to have a good fielding unit. Rohiat Sharma was given a life because of wrong throw and he capitalized the chance.

What we need is a good fielding coach and fittest players. Drop all tried and tested players and look for good young energetic fast bowlers as well.

As do many others. He is not dependable in a run chase but he is absolutely necessary to set up a big total as he has shown multiple times. We should not be chasing anyway if we have the choice.

Hey brother indeed we have talent who have great A list averages like Saud Shakeel, but im afraid hes going to see the Fawad Alam route by being ignored.

If we had not selected Babar Azam or FZ due to their domestic performances we wouldn't be having good openers. The problem is middle order my friend which needs tweaking and some bowling changes especially attacking spinners.

At this point of time people want to see 80% of the squad being replaced and that is understandable.Pakistan were poor today.When you talk about replacing players, the important point is that are there better players there who can replace them?
Let's talk about the current team:
Imam-Possible replacement options are Abid and Shan but according to me Imam has shown promise and deserves to be backed.
Fakhar-Simply has to be there.
Babar-Our best batsman.
Hafeez-Hafeez has played well in this WC but you have to think about long term planning and he won't be there in 2023 so it's better if we move on from him.
Sarfaraz-Throw this specialist/yawning captain out.
Malik-Go and drive,shave ,do advertisements but stay away from the team.He is retiring but that should be the last game that he has played in his career.
Imad-It's a tricky one.I don't think he is a good enough spinner to bowl 10 overs but his batting has been decent.I think he should work on his batting and he can play as a batsman and be your 6th bowler.
Shadab-Many want to drop him but suggest me bowlers better than him at the moment.We don't have the likes of Animal,Saqlain in the domestic arena.
Unfortunately there are not many leg spinners there.We have left arm orthodox, left arm orthodox and some more left arm orthodox spinners.Umer Khan,Zafar Gohar are the best spinners in the domestic arena.
Hassan-Show him the gate.He is still young and can make a comeback.He needs to sort out a few things.
Amir-Our best bowler at the moment.
Wahab-You can either continue with him or invest in the likes of Haris Rauf,Musa,Arshad Iqbal,Naseem Shah.

Now if people want to see other players in the team then those players should be worth in investing otherwise we have the case of Faheem Ashraf infront of us.
I think we have some good young pacers coming up but our middle order will still remain a huge problem and don't tell me that the likes of Iftikhar,Talat are the solution for it.

That's Sarfraz for you. Guy has lost it. TBH, Hafeez really only cashes in after platform is set but I'm sure we had planned properly, so could someone else. Hafeez should get discarded belongs to a different era.

Amir as captain? Omg!!!!!
Might as well bring back Butt & Asif
 
On the language front may have to bite the bullet and get a hindi/urdu spekaing Indian coach
 
Shadab khan already in the choping board after a loss? Not too long ago he was considered one of the best allrounder here by many ppers, better than shakib, under stokes, now he is not worthy anymore? LOL, people, It's just one match, calm down. India was always the fav going into this game. The other 3 I agree with you, Khan, still has fight left.
 
What's the use?

Once we lose to bangladesh or Nepal all these experienced seniors will be back. You all forgot Asia cup?

It won't solve anything. We need structural reforms at root level. Support Wasim Khan!
 
the culture is rotten. you could bring aliens from outer galaxy into the pak side & they would turn into lazy, corrupt, self-entitled, deluded smugs - just like the current lot & their pathetic predecessors.
 
Ok agreed that not just players but the culture itself needs a revamp but as you may have heard all the old PCB babas are against any form of structural changes. First thing is get rid of these babas..

Why aren't we trying Saud Shakeel, Saad Ali, Khushdil Shah, Aamer Yamin? They look promising

Rohail Nazir and Haider Ali look good from U19 teams.

Give them all a go. I'm sure 2-3 will stick .

Because they aren't good enough yet. Once we lose a series 5-0 again everyone in the media will call for experience. Still don't remember Asia Cup or the recent Aus series?

Pakistan cricket is a circle. Same things keep getting recycled.
 
From the Pakistan WC squad, the players which should be kicked out are:

- Sarfaraz Ahmed
- Hasan Ali
- Shoaib Malik
- Mohammed Hafeez
- Haris Sohail
- Asif Ali
- Wahab Riaz
- Imad Wasim
- Shadab Khan

(and I'm not sure on Amir yet)

So keep the others which are:

- Fakhar Zaman
- Imam Ul-Haq
- Babar Azam
- Shaheen Shah Afridi
- Mohammad Hasnain

Lmao dude in Asia cup and Aus series WE DIDNT TRY DOMESTIC PERFORMANCERS. Instead we picked past it Yasir Shah, and PSL hacks like Asif Ali, Faheem Ashrad, Muhammad Nawaz, etc.

Issue is that apart from Saud and probably Zeeshan, there is no other batsman in domestics who can replace our national team players. Same is the case with spinners.

Thats bcoz you were playing youngsters with average domestic records who got exposed in pressure situations. They were only there due to their PSL performances (shadab, Faheem Ashraf, Asif Ali, etc etc). Get the merit based ones in and see some improvement if not major.

Our domestic system is weak. Except Khushdil Shah all of them failed in the Pakistan cup ( 6 teams tournament).

All of them would struggle against top 6 teams if played at once. Saad Ali looked pathetic against Australia!

Saad I agree is not an ODI player, he's a test player and did very well vs AUS A and NZ A. Saud has potential, it was maybe just a one off, see how he does next season though.

All these.PSL hacks have crap donestic records if you check them. Asif Ali averages 21 for God's sake!!! I cannot believe Inzamam ever considered him
I agree our donestic is not good and MUST be improved a lot. But from the bits and pieces left, there are still some worth trying.

How can you people forget this? We need major structural reforms in domestic to polish these cricketers into something better.

Saud Shakeel is the biggest talent around. But due to this weak first class system he has not yet evolved his batting.

That's exactly what I am talking about. He needs a better platform and international cricket isn't a nursing institute. People will thrash you if you do not perform.

All these changes won't matter. It's a waste of time. We need big structural reforms at root level so we produce better cricketers.

Agreed with your structural reforms point but
you are insisting not to try Saud Shakeel in ODIs? Just bcoz Saad Ali failed in an ODI too? But try someone with a domestic average in 30+ like an Imam or another ******?

He will make a nice 30 or one 50, but considering how messed up we are it won't be enough. People will expect big scores which will put unnecessary pressure on him. Also he seems lazy and gives his wicket away which will force people to discard him early. He needs to LEARN to build his innings up and score massive tons.

He needs to be brought in step by step like Babar was inducted. For now he hasn't had a consistent Pakistan Cup or extraordinary domestic season. Once his confidence is up he can be tried at nr 5 in ODI cricket.

I have high hopes from Saud, but don't want to destroy his career.

Why are people being so harsh on Shadab? He was crucial in winning us the game against England.
WI match was already a lost cause.
Wasn't picked for Australia match
Today was the only poor match he has had.

You have to take into account that he has just recovered from a serious illness and is still learning. I do think he needs a proper spin bowling coach to get better.
Has potential with both bat and bowl and uses his brain more often than other more "experienced" guys. And not to mention is the best fielder in the team and creates a good vibrant energy in the field.
 
Post world cup team

This team is going to need alot of work to get it to modern standards but for a start we need hungry players who want to do well for pakistan, these are my recommendations based on domestic preformances, along with the ability to improve. We need to unearth some more gems to replace a few more but no point replacing for the sake of it until there is a better replacement. Post world cup build this is what I suggest for now

Fakhar Zaman
Imam ul Haq
Babar Azam (c)
Haris Sohail
Mohammed Rizwan
Kushdil Shah (Power + Run a ball player)
Imad Wasim
Shadab Khan
Wahab Riaz
Mohammed Amir
Haris Rauf

Reserves
Ahmed Shahzad
Abid Ali (Middle order replacement)
Umar Khan

Dropped to sort their game out, very poor at the moment
Hasan Ali
Shaheen Shah
Mohammed Hasnain

Toally Discarded

Sarfaraz Ahmed ( poor fitness, captaincy)
Shoab Malik ( Avg of 13 in uk +20 innings)
Mohammed Hafeez (Past his prime at 38)
Asif Ali (avg of a tailender, club cricketer at best)
 
My ODI team post world cup :

1. Fakhar Zaman
2. Imam ul Haq

5. Rizwan
6. Khushdil Shah

Honestly the only players I’d retain is fakhar babar haris And Amir. The rest should be dropped.
 
Drop malik,hafeez ,sarfraz(will let asif ali few more chances)
Wahab too probably.
Stop with the darters get some real spinners in,zafar gohar spin it miles.
 
SHARJEEL
Imam
Babar
Haris
Rizwan
Khushdil
Yamin
Amir
Naseem
Shaheen
Haris Rauf
 
Babar as captain? No way. I do not doubt his ability one bit. But is he a decision maker? A performer under pressure? A gun player who demands respect of not just his own teammates but other teams as well, as he can single handedly turn a game? Does Babar look like a man in charge, so sure of himself and his decisions? No. He looks to be out there, knows what he can do and plays to his strengths, which is looking like a million bucks in non pressure matches. Again, not trying to take away from his abilities but he does not seem like captaincy material.
