Their media believes he is solution to all their troubles. I believe he is a good player more so in ODI cricket. But they are in for a shock if they think he is Jaiswal or Abhishek level talent. His T20 batting needs a lot of work. As of now he is at Babar level in T20. That no look shot he is known for lacks power big time & he gets caught at deep square most of the times. He is a very good ODI prospect though. Much better than hack Zaman and Tuk tuk Imam.

Yes he can be good in odis he seems to know how to construct an innigs and play some shots, t20s right now is different thing. Not sure why there is comparison between saim and abhishek and jaiswal. how can some1 or something be compared to 2 different things at the sametime ?? Abhishek rt.now is out and out t20 batter, who is there to maximize pp and make it as big as possible, not an odi prospect rt. now and test is no where in the pipelines. Jaiswal is one who is seen as all format batter fr Ind, has done well in t20s and tests and still to get games in odis. he could be the modern all format batter

Very decent bat and solid domestic numbers behind - stats don't lie. It is unfortunate to see him being treated like a second class citizen. He is dropped from ODIs despite being Pakistan's most convincing bat in last ODI he played. Is this not enough to advocate that this selection was a joke? Do not think shakeel is the answer, specially as an opener no. From a small sample, he does not seem to have any shot against bounce. For a not so tall top -order batter not having cut shot is a no go at any level or cricket. Do not think he is good at hook an pull too.

He is a flop player in T20i format. Should not v be considered even in B Team with the strike rate of 127. One crucial batting order spot and lot of years have been wasted on him. His performances even after so many years does not cuts the T20i format. His intrinsic value as a batsman in T20i is zero. Wates a spot and makes the opponent happy that he is still scoring at tuk tuk pace. tapandrun 1
Tillu Posted March 21, 2025 Author Posted March 21, 2025 Paxtan won the toss and decided to bowl first.

Tillu Posted March 21, 2025 Author Posted March 21, 2025 On this wicket why were they bowling a spinner in the powerplay.
