BUDDY — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 10:30:59 +0000

As Pakistan unveiled their 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023, Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq opened up about the possibility of the retired fast bowler, Mohammad Amir, staging a return to the Pakistan cricket team.

Clarifying Amir's Current Status

During a press conference held in Lahore, Inzamam addressed the media and made it clear that Mohammad Amir was not part of the squad due to his retirement from international cricket.

“While Amir has been a phenomenal cricketer, he made the decision to retire from international cricket. If he has aspirations to represent Pakistan again, he must first engage in first-class cricket and demonstrate his skills there. If he performs well, he will certainly be under consideration. The door to selection remains open for any player,” Inzamam stated.

Opportunities for Others

Inzamam further emphasized that the same principles apply to other players like Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shan Masood, and Imad Wasim. Their chances of returning to the national team hinge on their performance in domestic cricket.

It’s worth noting that Mohammad Amir retired from international cricket in 2020 but has continued to play in franchise cricket. Recent speculation has swirled around the possibility of his inclusion in the Pakistan squad for the 2023 World Cup, potentially as a replacement for Naseem Shah.

Inzamam’s Insight: Retaining Abrar Ahmed and Zaman Khan in Reserves

BUDDY — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 10:00:41 +0000

As Pakistan unveiled their 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 in India, Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq shed light on the thoughtful reasoning behind keeping Abrar Ahmed and Zaman Khan in the reserves for the national cricket team.

Fostering Squad Stability

Inzamam underscored the significance of maintaining squad continuity while recognizing the talents of the current spinners in the lineup. He emphasized that the decision was rooted in the desire to preserve stability within the team.

“We have chosen to retain Abrar [Ahmed] as part of our reserves, should the need arise. I wanted to avoid unnecessary upheaval. The trio of spinners – Shadab Khan, Usama Mir, and Mohammad Nawaz – have been integral to the team and possess great potential. They must work diligently to play a pivotal role in the middle overs, a critical phase where spinners can make a difference,” Inzamam explained.

The Zaman Khan Factor

Inzamam delved into the circumstances surrounding the absence of Hassan Ali during the 2023 Asia Cup, which initially led to the inclusion of Zaman Khan. While acknowledging Zaman’s prowess, especially in the death overs, Inzamam highlighted the essential requirement of experience in high-profile events like the World Cup.

“Hassan Ali suffered an injury during the Asia Cup, and he was my first choice at that time. However, he was not cleared to play, which prompted us to select Zaman Khan. Zaman brings valuable skills, especially in the crucial death overs. Nevertheless, in an event of this magnitude, we believe it’s vital to have someone with the kind of experience that can truly make a difference,” he concluded.

PCB Finalizes Inzamam's Three-Year Contract as Chief Selector

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reached a pivotal juncture by solidifying an agreement with Inzamam-ul-Haq, marked by the formal endorsement of a comprehensive three-year contract by the management committee.

A New Era: The formal announcement on August 7th by the PCB proclaimed Inzamam-ul-Haq as the Chief Selector, a role where he has already taken the reins in forming squads for the forthcoming Test series against Sri Lanka and the highly anticipated Asia Cup 2023.

Contract Length Considerations:

Negotiations concerning the tenure of his contract remain an ongoing process. Inzamam has underlined the significance of a prolonged tenure for the Chief Selector position, aiming to ensure consistent decision-making and the overall elevation of Pakistan cricket.

Commitment to the Role:

With a sustained commitment, there’s a strong likelihood that Inzamam will wholeheartedly invest his energies in this role, potentially placing it ahead of other engagements, including league commitments.

Formalization of the Deal:

During an online meeting of the PCB management committee in Karachi on Sunday, Inzamam participated actively. In this meeting, the PCB acknowledged his contributions to cricket and reportedly formalized the offer for a structured three-year contract.

Monetary Compensation:

Unconfirmed reports suggest that Inzamam may receive a monthly remuneration of Rs2 million, marking an interesting aspect of his contractual arrangement.

Challenges with Attraction:

This move comes amidst a backdrop where recently retired cricketers show reticence toward positions with lower compensation from PCB. Their reluctance stems from the allure of lucrative prospects such as leagues and diverse avenues, creating challenges for the cricket board in enticing prominent figures.

Focused Discussions Ahead:

Inzamam is scheduled to convene with Team Director Mickey Arthur, Head Coach Grant Bradburn, and skipper Babar Azam in Multan on Tuesday. These discussions will center on the composition of the squad for the upcoming World Cup.

Seizing the Opportunity:

Worth noting is Arthur’s imminent departure post the India-Pakistan clash in Sri Lanka. Capitalizing on Arthur’s presence, Inzamam intends to explore the contours of the potential World Cup squad while Arthur is still accessible for input.

Inzamam advised Pakistan to beat India

Mainul Islam — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 12:03:01 +0000

Pakistan suffered a major setback before the Asia Cup. Icc Cricketer of the Year Shaheen Shah Afridi is not playing in this tournament due to injury. Due to this Afridi, the Indian batting collapsed in the last T20 World Cup. He took the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, and Virat Kohli.

Pakistani legend Inzamam-ul-Haq has suggested how to beat India due to the absence of Afridi.

Inzamam feels that the rest of the bowlers will have to take extra responsibility as There is no Afridi, “It is a big blow to not have Shaheen (Afridi). Everyone has seen what he did against India in the T20 World Cup. But it can hurt. As Shaheen is not there, the rest will have to take additional responsibility. Once India gets off to a good start, it will be difficult to stop them. ’

Babar Azam is currently the top batsman in the T20 and ODI rankings. However, Inzamam believes that Pakistan will have to come out of over-dependence on him. “Babar is Pakistan’s best batsman. So everyone tries to get him out. If Babar gets out early, the rest will have to take responsibility. In a tournament like the Asia Cup or the T20 World Cup, you can’t win depending on one person. ’

India and Pakistan will face each other in this year’s Asia Cup on August 28. Due to political tensions, the two countries do not have cricketing relations. Therefore, India-Pakistan matches can not be seen without the Asia Cup, and World Cup. There was also an interest in the Afridi vs Kohli fight in the Asia Cup match. However, due to Afridi’s dismissal, the cricket world has been deprived of the opportunity to see his fight with Kohli.
