Pakistan Team Discussion

My ODI team

1.Fakhar Zaman
2.Azhar Ali/ Sharjeel?/ Sarfraz
3.Babar Azam
4.Haris Sohail
5.Fawad Alam/Hafeez if he plays aggressively
6. Sarfraz/Sharjeel?
7.Imad Wasim/Fahim Ashraf/Amir Yamin
8.Shadab Khan/Amir Yamin/Fahim Ashraf
9.Mohammad Amir/Rumman Raees
10.Hasan Ali/Rumman Raees
11.Junaid Khan/Rumman Raees

If Amir Yamin plays than Fahim Ashraf can not play and vice versa because we don't need 5 fast bowlers..

If Sharjeel can play we should look to utilize him at the end of the innings... If we play too aggressive at the start we can lose a wicket cheaply. Also if we have a good finisher we have a better chance of crossing 300.

Rumman Raees should be used to rotate the fast bowlers so they maintain their fitness and don't get tired out.

@thetruespiderman493 - Fawad Alam is highly unlikely to come back to the ODI circuit. Sharjeel is likely to face a ban for a while and even then why would you want to move an opening batsman down to the lower middle order where he has little to no experience.

My ODI Line-Up:

1. Fakhar Zaman
2. Sarfaraz Ahmed (good rotator of strike, and struggles to hit big at the end)
3. Babar Azam
4. Haris Sohail
5. Shoaib Malik (need the experience and maturity at this stage)
6. Mohammad Hafeez (6th bowler, experienced, no swing so he can play aggressively)
7. Imad Wasim/Fahim Ashraf
8. Imad Wasim/Fahim Ashraf/ Shadab Khan
9. Mohammad Amir
10. Hasan Ali
11. Junaid Khan/ Rumman Raees

Bench Strength: Mohammad Nawaz, *A promising 20-22 young batsmen* - maybe Umar Amin, *promising younger bowler*

Getting a little annoyed by the lack of Pakistani international cricket in the coming year. I really want us to tour South Africa as we are much-improved side.

Have huge respect for the guy, really want him to take over a coaching role (similar to what Dravid is doing for India) so that we continue to get better Test prospects regardless of the more T20 based nature of cricket.

We really need changes to PCB as well.
We got a 83 year old man who never played Cricket in his life in charge of PCB.

PCB, similar to the political ecosystem, is unlikely to change in Pakistan. However, as long as strides are being made in the right direction, I will be happy. Really enjoyed the new QAT draft structure.

The PSL is helping to bring some aggressive cricket to Pakistan, just need to rectify the chasing issue and we might be as good as any team playing cricket in this day and age.

In the past few weeks, Shaheen Shah has become very popular.

According to recent news, PCB wants to life-ban Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Katif.

Well if they are doing Match Fixing then I don't want them in the Pakistan Team anymore.
I think they never learn their lesson from what happen to Mohammed Amir, Asif and Salman Butt.

100% agree. Match fix = life ban.

Well look like Shaharyar Khan have resign as PCB Chairman lol.

Annoyingly, I haven't seen any solid evidence like with the Amir Incident in 2010.[DOUBLEPOST=1502103799][/DOUBLEPOST]

Honestly, he is way too old that position. He is older than Pakistan and more of a political figure than anything. Hope we actually get a cricketer now.

Well Najam Sethi is likely to Take over so it wouldn't be a Cricketer sadly.

Both of them are older than Pakistan. We really need a breath of fresh air at the moment.
