What went wrong in team selection?

Comments and proposals for selection of our T20 squad selected for the Australian series starting from 3 November 2019

T20 Squad:

1. Babar Azam (Captain) Too docile and shy personality who should have been given the experience to lead against the Sri Lankan team to gain some mastery over the leadership job to perform better in Australia. Here, the head of think tank (cricket committee) Mr. Waseem Khan failed pathetically to prove his mettle as visionary leader of an huge organisation of the country. CEO is not there to just hire and fire people but to set the objectives/goals of an organisation and determine how to meet it.

2. Fakhar Zaman A product of expired shelf life. Abid Ali, Awais Zia, Umar Amin or Imran Farhat are still much better choice than risking to open the innings with FZ.

3. Haris Suhail A fit player for Test team and not a T20 material at world stage.

4. Iftikhar Doesn’t possess the calibre of a player who should be in the world # 1 ranked team.

5. Imad Wasim Looks out of form and not fully fit.

6. Imam ul Haq He is not at all the batsman for T20 format plus a below standard fielder. His selection is the biggest blunder of the selection committee. He may be a huge liability for our team in Australia.

7. Khushdil Shah Before selecting him for the Australian tour he should have been tested against the Sri Lankan team, which proves haphazard and unplanned way of PCB’s working style.

8. Muhammad Amir He has finished his shelf life for performing at world level and bowling as if he has been forced to do his job.

9. Muhammad Husnain When the chief selector says he is physically unfit nothing more needs to be said about this talented future prospect. But then why he was allowed to burn further in the CPL for which the entire cricket committee must provide satisfactory answer.

10. Muhammad Irfan The entire selection and cricket committee members needs to be sacked by the chairman PCB for recall of a 37 years fast bowler who also can can not properly field, as well. Young upcoming high speed extremely talented fast bowler Haris Rauf was in fact an automatic choice for selection in the squad.

11. Muhammad Rizwan He was an automatic choice for selection.

12. Musa Khan Again an automatic choice for selection and should have been played in the T20 series vs the Sri Lankan team in Lahore.

13. Shadab Khan Not to play him is a risk but to play him is a bigger risk.

14. Usman Qadir Young Omar Khan was a better future prospect.

15. Wahab Riaz Fresh legs of Shaheen Shah Afridi/Usman Shinwari are 100 times better to include them in the squad vs a bowler who was discarded from scheme of things for the last two years before the CWC 2019 and passed his prime after 2015 World Cup memorable performance vs the Australian team.

16. Asif Ali Ehsan Ali/Umar Amin/ Zeeshan Ashraf are 100 times better material for selection into the squad for the T20 series to be played in Australia.
