@SeedaBalla93 There wasn't pre PSL post PSL thing , he fed on slow low flat pitches of pak, a shift from those conditions exposed him.

With Shan Masood almost certain to step down now, if I were at the healm of affairs, I would appoint Saud as Test captain. With this decision, you are not just backing an out of form player, you are setting an example for future generations too. If you are as good as Saud was in his pre PSL career, you will be given a fair run and if you're captaincy material (which Saud clearly is), you can get the captain's hat too. This decision can also bring back his form once his place in the side is guaranteed... Best if he gives up on his PSL captaincy. Also, I don't have much issues with Salman Ali Agha becoming the Test captain. But if Shan is leaving, then the floor is open for discussion and my apple goes in Saud's basket.

@mithaiixak @AhmerNajeeb Bad phase ? Pak mien slow low pitch pe match krwao to ye phir Brian Lara bna Hoga , it's not a bad phase, but lack of skills. Pak aur SL ke matches Nikal do to us ne kahin aur perform hi nhi Kiya. Baqi Babar bhi over rated hai us se behtr performance test mien Rizwan ki hai.

@Biased_twitr @AhmerNajeeb Why isn't saud allowed to have a bad phase and be in team just like babar? Hypocrisy at its peak

Pakistan should appoint Agha Salman or Saud Shakeel as the new skipper. Form up and down is part of the game, but you cannot write off your senior players. #PAKvBAN

@criccrazyme Zyada runs Aur sare ke sare runs mien farq hota , jidhr pace ya spin zyada ho is ke hath kanpne Lagte. Shurooh ke 6 /7 matches flat slow pitches pe khel liye thy to log Brian Lara smajhne Lage.

@Biased_twitr Test player sab k ziada runs at home hi hoty. Lekin ye ab usssy bhi gya

یلجہاں کچھ پلیئرز کو پی ایس ایل نے سنوار دیا وہاں کچھ پلیر کو پی ایس اے ایل نے بگاڑ بھی دیا بگڑنے والے بلے بازوں میں سے سعود شکیل کا نام سب سے پہلے نمبر پر ہے سعود شکیل جو کہ 2021 سے لے کر 2024 تک پاکستان کے ٹیسٹ میں سب سے اہم بیٹس مین رہے بہت سے مشکل وقتوں سے انھوں نے پاکستان کو نکالا اور بہت ہی اچھی کھیل کا مظاہرہ کیا لیکن 2025 میں انہوں نے کوئٹہ گلیڈییٹر کی طرف سے کپتانی لے کر اپنی توجہ ٹی ٹونٹی کی طرف مرکوز کر لی اس کے بعد کوئٹہ گلیڈی ہیٹر میں ان کی پرفارمنس میں بہتری تو نہیں ائی لیکن ان کی ٹیسٹ کی پرفارمنس میں ضرور تنزلی اگئی ہے شاید ان کو بھی کسی نے کہا تھا ٹی ٹونٹی میں اوپن کرو اپ کو پاکستان کی کپتانی بھی ملے گی لیکن وہ سب کچھ تو نہ ملا جو تھا وہ بھی گوا بیٹھے پچھلے دو سال میں 10 اننگز میں ان کی صرف 21 کی ایوریج ہے اور اس کے اگے اب یہ اپنی کرکٹ کیریئر کے لیے کیا چاہتے ہیں ان پر انحصار ہے

@KhayamSays A home track bully , around 1,300 of his ~1,800 career runs have come at home, with another ~300 in Sri Lanka against relatively weak opposition. Outside those conditions, he is rubbish.

This should be last game for Saud shakeel in any format, man has zero game against pace and was picked to score runs on these slow flat wickets but he can’t even do that anymore. Not to forget, Karachi lobby wanted him as pak captain after half decent NT20 cup 3 months ago.

@BasitSubhani Very inconsistent, can't trust him , sometimes a hero but most of the time zero. But it would be better to get rid of saud Shakeel instead of him.

Shan Masood played well. Showed how he could have done in his International career but has remained much inconsistent. This could well be his last innings in test cricket as a captain and a player. Or would you like to see him in England's tour for his experience?

@immwofficial وہ پنکھے بھی مجبوری میں لگے تھے جب گورے آ کے باؤلرز کا کچومر نکال رہے تھے ، بات پنکھوں کی نہیں بات انتظامیہ سے لے کے کھلاڑیوں تک غلط لوگوں کا مسلسل انتخاب ہے ہم چلے ہوۓ کارتوس ہر جگہ استعمال کر رہے

سر جی اس کی بڑی وجہ وہ پنکھے ہیں جو ہم پچز پر لگا کر سپن ٹریک بنا دیتے تھے اور میچ جیت کر آسمان سر اٹھا لیتے تھے پاکستان ٹیم کے فٹنس ٹیسٹ ہوئے بھی مدت ہوگئی اور تو اور ڈمیسٹک کرکٹ میں بھی فٹنس ٹیسٹ کا ٹرینڈ ختم ہوتا جارہا ہے تو کہاں سے آئیں گے فاسٹ بولرز نہ فٹنس ہے نہ ڈائیٹ اس گھپ اندھیرے میں اس وقت فاسٹ بولنگ میں ثاقب خان محمد علی اور محمد عمر ریڈ بال میں واحد روشنی کی کرن ہیں جبکہ وائٹ بال میں علی رضا، عبدالباسط عبید شاہ اور حنین اس روشنی کو بڑھا رہے ہیں

@coverpoint_ I’ve always felt that Billy Doctrove hates Pakistan. Most of his decisions seemed to go against us, no matter the opposition. He was even a partner of Darrell Hair in that famous test alleging pak of ball tempering.

This moment did cover up some for me but can never forget what happened in Antigua 2000! Jimmy Padams* and Billy Doctrove's biased umpiring. Akram's marathon effort and that run out fumble. P.S - Yasir is Pak's biggest match winner in Test in last 15 years.

@DanQayyum Saeed Anwar Saleem Elahi Inzimam UL Haq Muhammad Yousaf Shahid Afridi Abdul Razzaq Azhar mehmood Moin Khan Wasim Akram Saqlain Mushtaq Waqar Younas

Has there been a stronger Pakistan ODI team than this? (they have to have played together as an 11) Saeed Anwar Aamir Sohail Shahid Afridi Ejaz Ahmed Inzamam ul Haq Moin Khan Wasim Akram Abdul Razzaq Saqlain Mushtaq Shoaib Akhtar Waqar Younis

@MazherArshad Obviously only T20 has future, less work more money , why would anybody want to earn less and work more ?

If you are a young batter like Azan Awais or Abdullah Fazal and see PSL batters earning PKR 8-10 crore a season while Test batters get only 6-7 matches a year and few T20 chances, which path would you choose? Honest answers only. No “Test cricket is real cricket” lip service.

@BasitSubhani He was pathetic in Australia & New Zealand with only 4 wickets in three matches there, while averages 32 in South Africa, if Abbas is not the problem he ain't the solution as well.

Abbas only for SENA conditions? Abbas has 27 wickets @ 17.55 - Economy Rate of 2.26 in 6 tests played in UAE While played in just 3 tests played in Pakistan; Abbas has 9 wickets @ 23.55 - ER of only 2.10 Yet once again, Abbas is an easy target. Abbas has never been an express bowler. He is someone with high-accuracy, consistent line-and-length, and effective seam movements when available. Don’t fall for it, Mohammad Abbas is NOT the problem.

@Kh4N_PCT Performance ko kon dekhta , lobbying tagri honi chahiye, zaroor khely ga , aise talented youngsters Kai aye Kai gaye, PR & Sifarish always win.

kehna toh nahi chahta but by chance debutant Abdullah Fazal 50 maar dein or more, toh kya senior batsman averaging 24 in test cricket (since 2023) next test match khelega?? pls anyone help

@taimoor_ze Why not keep the Babar on Bench if everything goes ok in batting in this match ?

If Babar gets fit for 2nd Test, they should play both Azan-Fazal in 2nd Test & should drop Ghora to make the place for Babar.

@Usama7 SENA countries mien is ne konsa perform Kiya tha ? Australia khela 1 bhi wicket nhi li , SA 32 ki average hai, NZ mien 2 matches mien 4 wickets , Sirf England mien theek tha lekin phir wo bhi crease se bahir khare ho kr spinner ki trah khelne lge the

Cause hum SENA countries mai kbhi kbhi jate hain.

@ImranAli__10 Kamran Akmal , remember the name 😏

Last ODI of the world fastest bowler of the world🚨

@ESPNcricinfo Disastrous for Pakistan

Babar Azam wins his third PSL title, and his first as captain 🏆 🏆 🏆

@MazherArshad Because even an average batting inning will get the lime light , but a timely wicket or dot is rarely talked about ,which can change the course of the whole match, you don't always need hat tricks or fifers to win a match for your team.

Just two bowlers yet we keep hearing that bowlers win you tournaments. In reality, batters usually have the edge when it comes to receiving such awards.

@federecobabar_2 It was Umpire who defended it

It’s Really sad to see people trolling Shaheen after hunain defended 6 runs as if Shaheen has never saved anything in death overs when he literally defended 28 runs in a WC only some 2 months ago

@GongR1ght Quetta did him dirty , was not picked even after him performing for them, made him a replacement whenever they needed him but never gave him full Contract, similar to what karachi did with Umer Khan & Peshawar with Asghar.

Hassan Khan is performing not just in PSL but he performed in BBL, CPL and MLC too. He’s one of the best all rounders in franchise cricket right now. Lanat beshumaar on the system which preferred Damad Khan and Nashai over him
