Pakistan Team Discussion

[CerealKiller]

Why do you comment on cricket are you part of a pr team? Are you a member on Anti Malik PR squad?

Nice comparison.
What Malik's supporters do is a coordinated pressure campaign by influential people, not a guy posting online

I can also see coordination between the anti group.

If I remember correctly Malik got some showbiz popularity too after his marriage. He definitely made some friends in that circle.

If I see someone spewing negative words about my friend I will reply without instructions or anything.

Such a good article and brings nostalgia. The early Pakistan T20I side was arguably one of the best the format has ever seen with the list of players they had at their disposal.

Good read.

Should Shadab be the next captain of this side?

I reckon he's got enough batting ability to be at seven in tests (not like there's any other candidate out there) especially if Faheem and Rizwan bat around him. Could also solve the sole spinner issue in SENA countries if he just focuses on his bowling to suit tests a bit. Even if he's only a fifth bowler though I can see it being a huge asset to the side. He's already a gun in the other two formats. Seems to have a good cricketing brain and has been an ultimate team player. What more could one ask for?

He has handled the captaincy brilliantly for Islamabad, but that’s just T20s. Not a bad call at all, the only worry being workload.

So what's the road ahead in T20Is and ODIs, guys? What changes do you propose

Babar needs to drop to 3. Haider, khushdil don't have a place in the team anymore. Here's my team for the next year

1. Rizwan
2. Haris/Fakhar
3. Babar
4. Shan
5. Azam
6. Iftikhar
7. Shadab
8. Nawaz
9. Wasim Jr/Dahani
10. Naseem
11. Haris

Shaheen needs a year of rehab at least

Shaheen needs a year of rehab at least

Hopefully it's not that bad and he can be back for the PSL. Definitely rest him for the home Tests against England and NZ

Need to fix a few chinks in the armour, beginning with the Powerplay approach. The excuse of not trusting the middle order is out of the window now.
Open with Haris and Babar. I’m afraid that only one of Rizwan and Shan can keep their place at 3. Two anchors is the absolute maximum.
Bring in Azam Khan. Brutal spin hitter, improved against pace too.
Shadab, Azam and Iftikhar to float at 4-5-6, depending on the matchup. Nawaz at 7, i guess. Or if you leave out Wasim Jr. in turning conditions, Asif is the perfect seven, with Nawaz at 8.

Babar
Haris (wk)
Shan/Rizwan
Shadab
Azam/Iftikhar
Iftikhar/Azam
Asif/Wasim Jr. (at 8)
Nawaz
Shaheen
Naseem
Haris

This is my ideal T20I team, for reference
