Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, has announced a shift in the way the national cricket team will be selected. The PCB is now turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to help choose players and replace those who are underperforming.

 

This move follows Pakistan's disappointing performances, including a historic loss to Bangladesh. Naqvi believes AI can provide the necessary data to rebuild the team and improve its future performances.

 

How will AI help in Pakistan team selection?

Naqvi explained that the PCB is using AI to prepare squads for the upcoming Champions Cup. He said that 80% of the squad selection for the tournament was done using AI, with the remaining 20% decided by the human selection committee.

 

"These 150 players that have been selected, 80% of it has been done by AI, and 20% using humans. Nobody can challenge that. We gave about 20% weightage to our selection committee. If we replace a player with a worse one, you'll be the first to complain. We'll have records and we'll all be able to see transparently who deserves a place in the team," Naqvi said.

 

The chairman highlighted that AI provides a transparent and data-driven approach, which he believes will lead to better decision-making.

"I spoke of surgery because we need to fix our problems. But when we look at how to resolve them, we don't have any solid data or player pool which we can draw from. The whole system was a mess. For surgery, you need all the tools to perform it," he added.

What are the expectations from the Champions Cup?

Naqvi is confident that the Champions Cup will produce great talent. He assured that any player not performing will be promptly replaced. This will ensure that the national team comprises only the best players.

"The Champions Cup will end in September, and then there will be records for everyone. Anyone who isn't performing will be immediately replaced. It shouldn't come down to anyone's individual opinions and wishes," he concluded.

By relying on data-driven insights, PCB is looking to rebuild the team and restore its former glory. While this approach has sparked interest and debate, Naqvi remains optimistic that AI will bring the much-needed change in Pakistan's cricketing fortunes.

Selecting the best playing XI for Pakistan in Test cricket can depend on various factors, including current form, conditions, and opposition. As of the latest updates and considering a mix of experience and potential, a balanced Test XI might look like this:

  1. Abdullah Shafique - A solid top-order batsman with promising potential.
  2. Imam-ul-Haq - A reliable opening batsman with a good record.
  3. Babar Azam (C) - A top-order batsman and captain, known for his technical prowess.
  4. Mohammad Rizwan (WK) - An excellent wicketkeeper-batsman who can anchor the innings.
  5. Fawad Alam - A resilient middle-order batsman with a knack for scoring crucial runs.
  6. Shan Masood - Adds depth to the batting lineup and can play crucial innings.
  7. Shadab Khan - An all-rounder who can contribute with both bat and ball, providing flexibility.
  8. Shaheen Shah Afridi - A leading fast bowler who provides pace and swing.
  9. Haris Rauf - Offers a strong pace attack and can be effective in various conditions.
  10. Naseem Shah - A young fast bowler with pace and potential.
  11. Yasir Shah - An experienced leg-spinner who can exploit spin-friendly conditions.

For bouncy pitches like those commonly found in Australia, India should ideally select a playing XI that balances both batting and bowling strengths to handle the extra pace and bounce. Here's a suggested playing XI for such conditions:

Batters

  1. Rohit Sharma (Captain) – His technique and ability to play fast bowling with ease make him a key opener.
  2. Shubman Gill – Another solid opener with a good technique against pace and bounce.
  3. Virat Kohli – His experience and ability to adapt to challenging conditions are crucial.
  4. Steve Smith – For his technical prowess against fast bowlers and to anchor the middle order.
  5. Rishabh Pant (Wicketkeeper) – Provides aggressive batting and can counter-attack on bouncy pitches.
  6. Hardik Pandya – Offers a strong lower-middle order option with his power hitting and can bowl medium pace.

All-rounders

  1. Ravindra Jadeja – His all-round skills are invaluable; he can bowl left-arm spin and contribute with the bat.

Bowlers

  1. Jasprit Bumrah – Essential for his pace, bounce, and ability to bowl in various conditions.
  2. Mohammed Shami – His experience and ability to swing and seam the ball are beneficial on bouncy tracks.
  3. Umesh Yadav – Adds pace and bounce, useful for exploiting the conditions.
  4. Arshdeep Singh – A left-arm fast bowler who can provide variety and is effective with the new ball and in the death overs.

 

 

Asked what should be India's team in bouncy pitches. Lol it listed Steve Smith.

I thought putting some madrassa educated maulvis in selection panel was the way to go :dontknow:

 

Pak cricket is a gift which keeps on giving and news coming out of that hell-hole makes for entertaining reading. Some people at PeePee are still planning how they're gonna thrash England & B'desh, how they can reach WTC finals, and how they're gonna hammer SA in SA later this year :hysterical:

 

The deluded idiots have no brains left... probably due to all that inbreeding. Forget self awareness, they don't even have a semblance of common sense and basic intellect left.

So exclusion of 2 over Trundler from second test...did Chatgpt decide that ?

@RizBarKhan

No, Shaheen just had a kid and Pakistan is trying to go with 3 pacers and a spinner instead of 4, so Shaheen is entitled to the time off. It’s more like paternity leave plus Pakistan has a strong enough bench to afford that - Mir Hamza is a great substitute.
