Pakistan head coach, Misbah-ul-Haq, has reportedly expressed reservations on the inclusion of firebrand opener, Sharjeel Khan, in the T20I squad for South Africa and Zimbabwe tours.
Sharjeel was named in T20I squads for the Africa tour. However, Misbah-ul-Haq, who emphasizes the importance of fitness in international cricket, is unhappy with Chief Selector, Muhammad Wasim’s decision.

A few years back, Misbah, the captain had asked the then head coach Mickey Arthur to send Sharjeel Khan, who weighed 96 kgs at the time, back to Pakistan. Now, the opener, with a 112-kg tag, has been selected for the national team.
As per media reports, Misbah believes that the selection of Sharjeel Khan will pave the way for more ‘unfit’ players in the Pakistan team. He was also surprised to see the double standards in the selection process as Yasir Shah was excluded on the basis of fitness.

Sources also suggest that Sharjeel is unlikely to make it into the final XI despite being picked in the squad.
Earlier, media reports suggested that captain Babar Azam had also expressed displeasure over the selection process as some of his recommendations had been ignored by the Chief Selector.
However, a PCB representative had refuted media reports suggesting that the selection committee and the team management are on the same page.


Inzamam also was 224 pounds. Isn’t he the greatest batsman of all time?
He previously lashed out fawad alam also for his technique…
In shorter format fitness does not matter much windies all players are unfit but they are powerful and perform in t20s
he is too fat. fat boy sherjeel is unfit to play PSL let alone international.
Misbah himself is unfit for the coaching role specifically for the shorter format and he is also dumb. Fitness ain’t the only criteria for a cricketer if he is a special player who can win matches AND IS MATCH FIT which Sharjeel IS!
ساری زندگی انضمام الحق انتہائی زیادہ وزن کے ساتھ کرکٹ کھیلا اور وہ زیادہ تر رن آؤٹ ہوتا رہا پورے دو رنس بھی نہیں لے سکتا تھا لیکن اس کو تو کسی نے نہیں نکالا ٹیم سے اب اگر پاکستان کرکٹ کو ایک عظیم الشان، جارہانہ انداز کھلاڑی اور اوپننگ اٹیکر بیٹسمین مل گیا ہے تو یہ مافیاز نما گدھ جنہوں نے ہمیشہ پاکستان کرکٹ کو برباد کیا ہے اور کسی اچھے اور ٹیلینٹیڈ کھلاڑی کو آگے نہیں آنے دیا ہے تاکہ انکی .

Everyone defending Sharjeel and dissing Misbah: doesn’t come as a surprise since out country is full of dumb idiots. Sharjeel is an unfit fu** who doesn’t deserve to wear the Pakistani jersey. Once a cheat always a cheat. Also, it doesn’t matter HOW good you are, fitness should be mandatory. But hey, when the majority is fu****** dumb, I’m not shocked to see this reaction.
