He is by far one of their best batsman, I don't know why they would give up on him in the middle of the tournament for fitness when they selected him in the first place. They don't have any better options than him. When he gets going , he is very destructive. Cricketics 1

gazza Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 If he’s not injured then they shouldn’t have been able to of replaced him.
Zero_Unit Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 This story makes absolutely no sense. Bunch of hoopla if you ask me.why would they willingly drop this tubby when is can take the game away from an opposition. He is very much capable of that. He was never consistent
vice Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 I think his keeping was quite poor in the last couple of games However, such a decision should've been before the World Cup. Poor guy is seen crying after his omission in the middle of the WC.
I6MTW Posted June 10, 2019 Author Posted June 10, 2019 If he wasn't fit then why select him in the first place? They select him and send him back citing an injury when he infact claims he is healthy. The guy is easily their best and most destructive batsman. I feel sorry for the guy. He's basically crying now because of his omission, saying he doesn't even feel like playing cricket anymore after this. I understand he is not the most fittest guy, but everyone knows that before itself, at least if he was omitted from the squad it would've given him the determination to work on his fitness, but sending him back in the middle of a WC tournament is just heartbreaking.

Cricketics Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 There is some corruption and drama surely in ACB as they announced and changed the captain last minute too before World Cup squad was announced. Shahzad is bit of a freak for them who has failed and his attitude tells me he is probably nuisance for the board as he might be rude to them as he talks pretty much straight forward and that might not go with the management, so they decided to call him back. Whatever it is, you can't call a player back after first picking him the squad. Surely there is more to it, some history between him and board is the issue for this I feel.
chewy Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 His keeping has becoming a major liability If averaged 50 plus at 100 SR fair enough, but he has failed more often than not with bat But his keeping, especially to spinners has been horrible, doesn't attempt anything down the leg, and dropped several regulation catches due lack.of dexterity
