Given Shadab Khan’s underwhelming performances thus far in the 2018 ICC Cricket World Cup, former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik asked Babar Azam to bench the all-rounder in the team’s forthcoming game. On October 20, the 1992 champions will play Australia in their fourth game at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
After the team’s match against India in Ahmedabad, many have questioned Shadab’s position in the squad.
Shadab should be benched from the forthcoming game, according to Shoaib Malik, who said that he is having trouble with both bat and ball.
“Shadab is unquestionably a very excellent bowler, but he is having trouble. Even though he claimed four wickets against Sri Lanka in Lucknow on Monday, Adam Zampa struggled to place his leg-spin, but his sliders and googlies were placed correctly, according to Malik, speaking to A Sports.
“The Pakistan cricket team anticipates ten overs from Shadab, not four or six, as far as he is concerned. I think he needs to be changed because of this, the former cricket player continued.
Wahab Riaz believes that Shadab and Nawaz shouldn’t play together for Pakistan.
Former Pakistani pacer Wahab Riaz believes that Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz shouldn’t be starting together and has chosen Usama Mir in their place.
“Shadab and Nawaz shouldn’t compete for Pakistan as a team. Instead of either of the two, I would much prefer have Usama Mir. Pakistan has a fascination with all-rounders, but if pacers don’t perform, we can’t figure out who our strike bowler is. You must have wicket-producing bowlers, Riaz told PAK Skills.
Abrar Ahmad, who is chosen as Pakistan’s backup player, should be a member of the team, according to Misbah-ul-Haq.
“Abrar needs to play. He used to bowl on the power play in the PSL. In contrast to a bilateral series, a team will only face you once during a tournament. He might have been a mystery bowler, and Misbah feels that he ought to have been given consideration for the World Cup.
