Real humiliation was PCB bullying BCCI to host the entire Asia Cup in the UAE.In the end, no matter who Pakistan picks, they will be humiliated in the Asia Cup and the 2026 T20 World Cup
Agha is the temporary boss of delusional fans because they want to latch onto any alternative to Babar and Rizwan that can present itself at this point. Everyone else is either too young, inexperienced or too old.
I don't think it'll break him as fans don't bash him as much as they bash babar and rizwan.
Agha is fine and also a much better captaincy candidate than guys like Babar, Rizwan, Shaheen and Shadab. He doesn’t care about his personal performance. He cares about team performance and player growth. He’s doing exactly what Pakistan fans have been yearning for. He’s building a team, a balance, a strategy and this is helping with the growth of players like Saim, Farhan, Harris and Nawaz. Guys like Khushdil, M Nawaz and Faheem are also contributing too. Shaheen is bowling much better under his leadership, he’s been a clutch bowler. Sufyan Moqim has bowled him to a series win against a tough opposition.
It doesn’t take long for the Pakistani fans to change their sentiment. Look at what happened to Sarfaraz, Babar, Rizwan. Their reputation turned upside down in a matter of 12 months.
I don't believe this is a bad t20 side however. It is an upgrade over 2024 which featured, Ba/Riz/Agha/Shadab/Chacha all in a single lineup.
Hesson has 100%. Agha tends to let these guys groom though.
Since the current team is based on PSL and PSL is the standard, Abdullah's SR in last season was 150. I am not trolling I would have picked any other batter in the top order if there was a better candidate but unfortunately, there is no one. Haider Ali, Muhammad Haris, Azam Khan etc. aren't doing any wonders. If you really want a more dynamic lineup, I don't mind Sahibzada with gloves in place of Rizwan but he needs to be on point with gloves too as Rizwan would. Unfortunately, we don't have luxury of batters and all the better ones need to play. Babar, Hassan, Saim must be untouchables based on their talent and class.
Last chance for Bobby? He was your top scorer in your last away series too. If you want to drop him from another format based on agenda, sure because on performance basis he makes it into all 3 formats easy.
Brother i am not the agenda poster
.
The current team doesn't have a single batter that can bat for 15-20 overs if needed, that is why you saw 5/15 against BD, if we do not bring in a proper batter or two, you will see such collapses more often than not against better oppositions. Babar is going to make a comeback sooner or later, it could be after the Asia cup, just before the WC or just after the WC but the sooner we realize this, the better it is. I don't have anything against the young guys, Hassan Nawaz should be untouchable for next 4 years.
Didn't he score 3 50s in 4 innings in last away tour to SA? I agree he is not converting his 50s to 100s. No centuries in 2 years is very poor for a batter of his standard. But despite of all that, he is still scoring more than the rest of the players. That pretty much tells you about the luxury of talent that we have.Brother i am not the agenda poster
Babar is good, deserves a spot in odi. His issue is test and t20 where his form is in the waters
Those were test 50s that I am talking about.
Those test 50's were on pancake pitches.
Why didn't anyone else score 3 50s on those pan cake pitches? Why only Shan and Babar scored runs? You don't get it?
He makes it in all 3 formats according to you but Pakistan are winning in T20s and much more balanced without him.
Because Imad and Amir blackmailed everyone
All Pakistani players are Mediocre including Zimbabar so doesn't matter who will Play .
Its cause babar in tests had become a walking wicket and despite rizwan being a good test batsmen, he is as clueless as jadeja when it comes to batting with the tail.
(india CT 2025 game)
Yes . He is new messiah for pakistan fans with strike rate of 115 and 27 AVG in T20I cricket. .
for starters, Agha doesn't have an ego and can bat in any position and doesn't promote himself to open so he can stat-pad runs like Rizbar
Winning T20s? The win rate under agha is 50% that is 15% lower than Babar. Tu kis dunya mai jeeta hai bhae?
For starters, Agha is not a batter in this T20 side. His stats are abysmal. Shouldn't be in the team.
Babar alone has more runs than the whole squad combine. Sure.All Pakistani players are Mediocre including Zimbabar so doesn't matter who will Play .
Just like Ganguly and Tendu's runs were not enough to win WC matches against mighty Zimbabwe and ferocious BangladeshThose runs were not enough to win a world T20 match against mighty USA.
for starters bring me batters that have better statistics than Agha and have done well as leader
Don’t you agree that agha has to improve his numbers? His current t20 numbers do not look good and questions on his place in the team are valid.
of course he needs to, who is saying no to that
Why is his SR 115 and Babar's 129 if he plays with higher SR. enough of this intent crap, he plays worse and way slower than Babar or even Rizwan. The numbers do not lie.
koi samjhao ye baat brainless posters ko
Those who consider him a HERO are doing so out of plain jealousy and hate for Babar IMO...They will do anything to downgrade Babar, but so far, Salman is dust in front of Babar when it comes to T20.
Why do we need one person to be a face of our cricket though? That was a stupid Ramiz Raja ploy "we need to make player a brand"
At the moment, PCB hasn’t pushed Agha down our throats though. It’s just that a few clowns want Agha to be the all format captain when shouldn’t be the captain in any format to begin with. He is at best a VC kind of guy.
It's pretty clear that he was hesson's choice to be the t20i captain as he is very particular with who gets to lead the team he's coaching. Had a major fallout with Ross Taylor back in 2012. He could have chosen Shadab but probably didn't find him to be a very bright individual. He's with Agha so maybe he saw him to be a reasonable person to have till maybe 2027 wt20.
You can't compare someone who's played 20 games sporadically to someone who's played 128 games mostly without being dropped.
Too bad cricket isn’t religion where your “niyat” matters. Intent means jack **** if your execution is poor.
Yeh nai samjhenge, they're twisted brains agenda merchants.
Yep. That is what I said.
Ok. Let's talk about domestic T20s then. Agha has played 105 T20s with a SR of 119. Is this enough sample size to know that Agha is way inferior than Rizwan and Babar? He also bats lower down the order where you're supposed to play at higher SR. It is criminal to bat at 5,6,7 at this horrendous SR and avg.
No that’s Babar being shoved into Pakistan T20 team and being asked to bat at 9 because we only need him when the score is 20-6
Koi samjhao braindead posters ko yeh bat yaha
Agha is apparently Tendulker and Bradman these days according to some posters. Utterly mediocre cricketer. It makes me very happy when he fails and he is shown the mirror. Such a shame that a gully cricketer like him is in favor and not Babar and Rizwan.
Expecting a humble and sincere pakistani cricketer to fail isn't the right thing to do regardless of who the player is. That just make the person a fan of specific players rather than Pakistan cricket. Same goes for the other party.
For all the criticism of Riz-Bar (indeed, both need to show greater intent with the bat), Salman Agha's SR is just 115.90 after playing 20 T20Is
But still Salman is a hero... LOL
Please rewatch the Australian series to see how he batted and what his ability is
Babar batted with a lot more intent and confidence during early days of his career. Watch some of his earlier innings and you’ll see how uninhibited he was.
No one in calling Agha the savior of Pak cricket - your habit of exaggerating others' opinion to make your point is getting boring now.
My bad. You can check his performances on tour to SA and then home games against SA and NZ I guess
Nobody is able to explain the numbers that is the sad part. I have said it before....replace Babar and Rizwan if you have Lara and Tendulker in the wings...not with Salman.
Shaheen is the best option for white ball captaincy. Agha at best is a vice-captain. People have latched onto anyone who can offer an alternative to Babar and Rizwan, but the same people will start abusing him very soon.
That’s what Babar and Rizwan supporters do.
