Sarfraz needs to bat up at any cost, I have been saying this since quite some time. He should bat at No.04 while let Hafeez, Malik or anyone bat in lower middle order as a hard hitter. It will nicely round our batting as Sarfraz is useless in lower middle order.

And again just after one loss we are talking about chop and change. I think this is the best team we can have except Hafeez, most of our players are young and the captain is still new, he will learn from his mistakes and so far I have seen Sarfraz as a quick learner. Yes bowling first was a...

I wouldn't mind him in T20s, not sure if someone has picked him for PSL but he can be handy in the middle order.

No Imam had a superb under-19 and domestic run to support his selection, so it is not the same case at all.

How can you select someone who is totally unfit, when you have so many emerging players either through proper channels or through the talent hunt programs. If he was selected by some other franchise, then one can understand but here its a simple case of corruption.

Its the time each franchise should make some hard decisions. If they can leave players in draft due to unavailability, then they should leave all those players who are not willing to travel to Pakistan.

There are many, some due to schedule and some I guess still reluctant to play in Pakistan. Players like Starc, Warner, Finch, Guptil, Morkel, Miller etc are all first choice players. I guess PSL management needs to learn that this is not some domestic tournament where they can get away without...

I would love to see some proactive captaincy, why not allow some one like Faheem to open? There is nothing to loose here.

We are still clueless about the modern batting, look at the other teams like Newzealand, they are playing two hard-hitters at the top even in ODIs and we are afraid to introduce it in T20s. We are relaying too much on our bowling and still not developing our batting on the modern lines.

Who cares what Agarkar has to say about Pakistan bowling. For me I will only consider us a good bowling unit when they will start to perform in test matches. Umar Amin is a tried and tested parchi player, we need hard hitters and not some under confident test match players and that too in T20s

In defense of Sarfraz, He is a wicket keeper and thus its an added pressure to bat in top order, keep wickets and then lead a team like Pakistan. But I feel once the team gets settle, he will come in the top order. As far Imam is concerned, he has few critical issues similar to Fakhar and both...

Although to me Shinwari is a one-trick pony, but today I saw a little bit of inswing (for right-handers) from him aswell. I hope he gets few weeks training from someone like Wasim Akram to develop that inswing otherwise it will be difficult for him to stay at his best against good batsmen. As a...

Wrong batting lineup from Pakistan, atleast they should try to experiment with a little more aggressive approach. Shehzad is continuously playing useless innings since his comeback plus Sarfraz do not have the ability to slog so he should open and try to use power play overs along with Fakhar...

Well frankly speaking, the amount of cricket India play and how professional most of their players are, India should only appoint a manager instead of a coach. For coaching they have other platforms like IPL, U-19 and domestic circuit. They should introduce top quality coaching in first class...

Pardon my ignorance but does Ravi Shastri posses any coaching experience, either in IPL or with some domestic team? Because I only know him as a post retirement commentator.

That's why I haven't proposed any WC like tournament where all matches are crammed up in space of couple of months. 4 years cycle is enough to keep the traditional series in parallel, probably more joyous since now such series will have another reward. Also as an outsider I feel Ashes after...

Its high time to start tiers based championships in all formats. It should be two tiers in tests with bottom 2 teams replaced with the top 2 teams from the lower tier. The cycle should be of 4 years and there should be a 5 match test series between the top two teams to decide the champion, may...

Congratulations to Pakistan and commiserations to India. It was a dream tournament for both teams but in the end that old Pakistani aggression was too good for any team. Obviously there are a lots of positives for both teams but there are few weak points in both teams as well. I'll try to post...

Should be Zaman.

Pandya is a very strong hitter of the ball but Sarfraz also helped him by keeping the spinners on.
