Pakistan Tour of England and Ireland - July/September 2016

Rizwan? He hasn't performed well recently. I hope Sohail (Khan) gets selected for the next tour, he is one of our best seamers.

Rizwan barely got any chances recently.

So, what do we make of this Twenty20 squad?

Too many bowlers and bowling all-rounders I'd say. The only 'genuine' all-rounder has to be Imad Wasim. I would keep Mohammad Nawaz out. And I'd keep Khalid Latif as far as possible.

Squad Sarfraz Ahmed (capt), Khalid Latif, Sharjeel Khan, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Mohammad Nawaz, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Irfan, Sohail Tanvir, Amad Butt


My Xi:

Sharjeel Khan
Sarfraz Ahmed*†
Babar Azam
Shoaib Malik
Mohammad Rizwan
Imad Wasim^
Sohail Tanvir^
Wahab Riaz^
Mohammad Aamir^
Amad Butt^
Mohammad Irfan^

I think injustice into non selection of Umar Akmal, no need s.malik in any format anymore plus wahab riaz has to go from t20.pakistan must need sohail Tanvir who had very good CPL both with ball and handy with bat.Pak vs eng. Will play only one game of t20

Im guessing Pakistan will have the No.1 ranking maybe for a few weeks, but I think India will take it back. Pakistan will beat West Indies, but succumb to both NZ and Aus. India might win aganist NZ but draw aganist Eng. Its going to be a great winter for the Pakistanis and Indians out there. . Besides, NZ were BAD when Pak last toured them for Tests.

India will play 5 test vs England in good weather wise season so from very first test at RAJKOT (famous for spin) England will be on back foot vs 3
Spinner so I think India will win series plus in February also beat bangers at Hyderabad, yet another rank turner.

Rizwan barely got any chances recently.

Did he perform well whenever he was given a chance?

 

[Salman.]

good match-finisher in Rizwan

Latif can hit big sixes, Rizwan can't. Latif performed well in the PSL, as well as the game he played against Australia.

He is out due to discipline issues.

Latif is a flat track bully, Rizwan has potential.

 

[Salman.]

Rizwan has potential.

Potential not power, which is required in T20s.

Latif played at almost run a ball against Australia.

Tell that to our captain.

 

[Salman.]

Tell that to our captain.

Latif played at almost run a ball against Australia.

That was according to the situation.

Pak is not bad to be No.1 but if you take out Misbah, Younus, do you still have your quality No.1 team?

Why should one take out Misbah and Younis and see the standing? I don't see the logic I am afraid to say. They are in the team because of the team and they are ready to play. If I would say you take out Kholi and Ashwin from your team and then see where India stands then what would you say Its the whole team which plays a role. Every player has his role and combine efforts produce results. Take Azhar and Shafiq Out.. And put Misbah and Younis In... even then the team will struggle, So its not about these two players its about total package and Pakistan has got some serious strong batting line-up till No.7 as far as Test Cricket goes as well as a High Class Leg-spinner that makes the ball talk and that is why we are No. 1

This is the way things move in cricket mate. We shouldn't say take Ponting and Gilchrist out from Aussie team in their Hay days and see where they stand or we can't say Take Tendulkar and Dravid out and see their standing. Eventually India would have collappsed big time as well in their those hay times If you had tried to take them out

We were chasing 193. The last thing we needed was a 45 off 40 balls

I'm also sorry to say you missed out on mine and Cereal Killers intense coversation, and we've moved on. Improve on your limited overs form then talk. Look, Misbah and Younis are gone from limited over's and look what happened. . Pak have potential in limited overs but..... they have to do well against WI to regain some pride. Not trying to compare, India can still do well without their best players. They have good bench strength. Taking out Misbah and Younis was an example, as look at your ODI team now.

HaHa.I know Yasir is a fantastic bowler but.... Yasir only played super in Lords test and last test, otherwise he was trash.
