Just imagine Pakistan hasnβt announced the squad for the Sri Lanka T20 series, apparently waiting for the finalβs performance.
So weβre picking our squad based on a sample size of just 1 2 matches even the captainβs appointment could be based on the same criteria.Then how can we expect any improvement in results? One failure could change the selection.
π¨ MEET SALMAN ALI AGHA - THE CAPTAINCY FAILURE π¨
- First of all I don't know, on what basis, he was appointed the captain. He don't even deserve to be in the team, and he is leading the team.
- Total of 916 runs in 47 innings in his T20I career with an average of 23.48 & SR of 123.45. A SR of 123.45, when the captain's motive was to develop modern day cricket and play with intent.
- Under his captaincy, Pakistan has won 80% of its matches against minnows and won only 25% of its matches against SENAI teams.
- He promoted himself to No.3, where we all thought, he innovated himself and deserves to be at No.3, but he has proved us wrong once again by playing pathetic on the big stage.
- Batting at No.3 (which was originally Babar's spot), giving zero performance, and has made Babar a liability on the team, which has ruined the batting balance of the team. Simply, just drop Babar, if you want to bat at No.3. Saim and Agha's performance has been more worse than Babar, but Babar at No.4 is being used as a scapegoat.
- Coming into the T20 WC, so many blunders so far in this WC, benching Naseem and Wasim Jr, our best death bowlers and most suitable pacers in these conditions.
- Didn't bowl his 3rd over in India match after such a great start. Instead of bowling Saim, he fed leggies (Abrar & Shadab) against Ishan Kishan and Varma (left-handed batters), and brought Usman Tariq after the 10th over, when the damage was already done.
- Today once again, when pressure was on England. Gave the bowl to Shadab instead of giving Usman Tariq his 2nd over, which leaked runs and eventually shifted the whole momentum to England, and we couldn't recover from it the whole game.
India were 5-159 chasing 338. Kohli stood tall, fought it out, scored a brave 100 and still India lost. From that position, which Pakistani batter do you genuinely trust to finish the job?
Peak Babar? Fakhar Zaman? Rizwan or Agha?
