Pakistan Team Discussion

[Abhi Sharma]

There is no news about India vs Pakistan tournament which was going to be held in Srilanka from 15 december.What is the future of this tour?

I think it will not take place

I must say, I am pretty impressed with the recent happenings in Pakistan cricket where Hafeez, Azhar Ali are rejecting to play with Mohammed Amir due to his recent past where he indulged in spot fixing. They have said that "they will not play with someone who has brought bad name to the country". I know Amir is young and therefore is eligible to make his comeback after serving the official ban. But these guys are making a statement that even if the ICC might have given you a lesser punishment, we can't play with you because the bad name to the country is not erasable.

If I were Amir, I would go out of my way to really show to these guys that I have come out of it wiser and reformed.

Whatever their personal opinion is, this is not their dad's team. This is the Pakistan national team, and anyone who's eligible to be selected can be selected, doesn't matter if he's 16 or 36, or whether he was involved in a scandal 5 years ago and has served his punishment and apologised to his nation many times. If they want to play for Pakistan, they'll have to accept to play with anyone who has performed well enough to be picked.

I'm very pleased as a cricket fan and a huge fan of Pakistan fast bowling to see Aamir back. He's suffered for his mistakes and it's time to forgive and forget. I've never thought much of Azhar Ali and he's being a bit of a moron. Hafeez is a fine cricketer and needs to realise this is for the betterment of Pakistan cricket.

In reference to Pakistan T-20 side, I would like to add here that the amount of hardworking spirit and talent Sarfraz possesses, He has been getting wasted by sending him at number 7, He has to be one-down in place of Sohaib Maqsood or else up the order before emad waseem. Emad Waseem currently is just a utility as a batsman but Sarfraz is a Good One who has proved it numerous times. I would still back Nauman Anwer in place of Sohaib Maqsood. Let's see If Nauman performs well in PSL, The door might get open. There is an opportunity for him.

Maqsood hasn't done anything to be selected in the T20 team. He must be axed. But who will take his spot in the middle order? I feel it should be Babar Azam. He's the future of our team.

 

[Rehan_24]

Babar Azam is definitely good, He should be tried... Have to reserve my view about him being the Next Big Thing when I got to know that he is from the Akmal family lol... I guess we will have to wait and see...

Captain should not banned for bowling plus Pakistan should drops shehjad now and includes new face, zeeshan Malik and Gohar Hafez best opener.I predict shadab khan will be future all rounder of Pakistan.s. Gul and mohsin also very good fast bowler in making who can swing ball both ways.

And this is what he is doing apparently, You can see the hunger to perform on eyes and face. He was the most successful bowler from Pakistan's side in the recent series with Newzeland. He will get better and better as games progresses for him I feel.

Haha so it is but I know its tough to digest for some

Mohammad Nawaz looks an exciting prospect. The problem is, we have too many spin-bowling all-rounders. The lack of good pace-bowling all-rounders in our domestic circuit is really worrying. Hopefully that Mohsin guy from the U-19 team will turn into a good player.
