Pakistan Team Discussion

[noducksallowed]

So we’re gonna rest a guy who plays one format while picking Babar who plays almost non-stop

That literally is the icing on the cake of this corrupt selection committee...the CSC

How has this not been discussed here yet

PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf discussing team matters with his daughter and others.
Says that Rizwan wasn’t made captain because he’s "under the control of Talha Aisham/Rehmani" and that "he has 7-8 players in his hands, including Babar"

Can we get the ICC ban on the SLC transferred to the PCB?

BCCI, PCB, BCB, all need a suspension

The BCCI hasn’t been incompetent to the point of self sabotage at least….

…for now.

BCCI while has not been the best at running cricket, they are not incompetent and corrupt as the other boards. PCB should or not is not upto most of us but comparing BCCI in the same breath as PCB is not apples to apples. PCB and BCB are next level incompetent. Corruption top to bottom in most blatant way.

Talking about political interference

This I agree with. Entire cricket council needs to be suspended with someone setting up rebel council that is fair to all boards.

Then please suspend BCCI for that!

So folks, whats the mood for 2024? There is yet another world t20 on the horizon and Pakistan have done very well in the last two editions but with so many changes, do you think the team will be ready and in a good place?

What about the test arena?

T20 2024- for starters, expect Pakistan to head into the Super 8. The competition in the S8 and their form leading into the same would defined their fortunes. They have a decent side, but it remains to be seen whether the new captain can weave magic. I think not- I think SS Afridi might get bogged down by the pressure and other irrelevant aspects that usually affect Pakistani captains.

What about the test arena?

2 Tests v Ban
3 Tests v Eng
2 Tests v SA

The England tour might be interesting. Can't say the same about Ban and SA as it depends on wat squad actually turns up to play Pakistan.

I have doubts about Shaheen, but then again many people had doubts about him as LQ captain and now he's aiming for a hattrick of titles

Not sure to put this here or English Domestic but was not expecting us to appoint Grant Bradburn as Head Coach at Glamorgan.

He's practically been out of the Pak circles since the WC, so from that perspective it wasn't that surprising. Who did he replace at Glam?
