Why not try Sahibzada Farhan as an ODI opener?

[mkyawar]

Average of 52.09 and strike rate of 90 plus in List A. He can be a good destructive opener for Pakistan if given chances like Farhan.

 

[InziRules]

He's a fluke player who'll need luck, as I'm sure someone will come along to say. He's also mediocre, in a mediocre team and the worst Indian batting talent is better than Pakistan's best.

 

[Xoib]

a below average talent will struggle to average 20 in international cricket

 

[mkyawar]

Imam averages less than him with a less strike rate in domestic. People said the same thing about Fakhar that he is a fluke player. I have no doubt if Farhan is given the same freedom and chances he will not disappoint. Even falhar has 50 average in List A and it is showing in international. Cannot expect Imam to develop his power hitting game when he is a dud in domestic cricket. If Fakhar can average 50 plus with high strike rate, then I think Farhan can do the same thing

that is a fact .Shaw pant iyer samson nair krunal ishan are 10 times better.

He must be given a go. He can get us off to flyers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Said it days ago and even today in the match thread that he should have been selected for the ODI side too and could have debuted against a depleted Zimbabwe side.

Then how would have Inzi's bhateeja gotten a chance? Family ka bhi tou khayal rakhna hai na

3 games for Imam and 2 for Farhan.

If he had a good PSL I'm sure he would have been in this squad. But either way I can see him getting a chance in ODI's soon as time is on his side.

 

[The_Odd_One]

He should be tried in T20s first.

 

[New Yorker]

Every format is its own game. What would it hurt to play both Sahibzada and Imam against Zimbabwe in a couple of dead rubbers?

 

[TeymurBlake]

He will get into the ODI team soon. But if he had a good PSL then maybe he would have started ahead of Imam.

 

[Abdul]

Because he is garbage.

 

[Justcrazy]

He would have been good if given a good series against Zimbabwe.

 

[Hasan123]

Better to try him than Hafeez who is past it and Imam who isn't an ODI player.
