Yeah
RizBar are the reason for reaching Semis and final in the first place?
Get your perspective corrected first before you start throwing around your speculations.
You’ve got 55 posts. I bet you have some earlier writing off Hesson’s team against Afghanistan as well.

I agree, my main point was only for babar in odi pre Misbah era though. While he was on the slower side he was improving day by day.
He got slower post misbah era though in all formats. He wasnt that slow from 2016-2020 infact he batted at higher sr's then Steve Smith, Root and Williamson at that point in time which was impressive as he was mostly playing in root's own den.

In cricket, wicketkeeping is a specialist job. Before anything else, a keeper must be able to keep properly and give confidence to the bowlers that everything behind the stumps is safe. Batting comes after that. If a keeper can bat well, it’s a huge bonus. These days, teams want their keeper to be at least a decent batsman who can contribute with the bat too, but in the end it all depends on what options you have available.
Farhan is not a keeper, and Pakistan can’t just decide out of nowhere to play him in that role. He needs to work on his fitness and improve his keeping first before being considered. The other names people are suggesting are also poor keepers and simply not good enough for international cricket.
Rizwan is clearly the best choice. He’s not only the best keeper in the world right now but also a better batsman than all the other available options. The first step should always be picking the best keeper. Where he bats in the order comes later. It’s as simple as that.
Rizwan will return, but if that happens a year or two later, Pakistan cricket will have already wasted some of the best years of his career.

Farhan needs to wake up and accept the reality that he will not stay in the team if he does not do keeping occasionally... Like in tri-series, we needed him to open so we can drop haris but management showed too much support for haris and he played all games and failed badly... Farhan needs to occupy that spot and make it his own.

still I m convined that we should give a chance to Farhan so he will keep the wickets and in place of Haris we can go with a proper batter like Hasan Nawaz

Stop hyping a fake modern day batter who is not even worth a club level.
Haris's fake hype bubble has burst, and he has had enough chances this time that there is no excuse left for anyone.

Has it burst at no 3? He's a better t20 batsmen then both Agha and Saim with his hands tied behind his back

He played at 3 as well.. Not a lot but it just takes 1 good knock to show what you are made off... Salman does not even trust him that he can pull this off that he was not even sent to bat against India where talat was sent ahead of him... not worth it.

Agha given the way he is batting atm is low on confidence, confidence is linked with trusting in yourself and ....

Salman Luckily got some rubbish balls from Rashid Khan in Sharjah which he was able to dispatch out of Park and we all went gaga over it that he can handle spin in middle. Reality is that he can handle spin in longer format. T20 is not for him

It means captain does not trust him... Simple... Because he is not worth it...
Problem is we have no keeper in the squad to replace him... Farhan is not willing to do keeping so now wat??

So you trust a captain who cannot trust himself?
That's like me trusting Donald Trump to make a sane decision for once?

But you trust me, and as long as you trust a friend in me, you can trust the process. Just don't trust the predictions

I don't know either bro
. I'm just messing around with others.But genuinely I have no clue. You'll have to ask someone who uses this word often lol.
The only silver lining in this current setup is that the lower order can bat extremely well hence the tail enders are stronger.
But woth that being said, the bad news is that it seems only these lads can bat and the top and middle order is useless lol
