Pakistan has avoided making any changes to the 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia, as the deadline to replace any player without any reason has passed.
The marquee event will begin on October 16, with Sri Lanka facing Namibia in a qualifying round encounter, while the Men in Green will begin their campaign on October 23 against arch-rivals India at the MCG.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the management was planning to make changes to the squad following the middle order’s poor outing during the Asia Cup 2022 and T20I series against England at home.
However, the team management made no changes, and no player can now be replaced without the consent of the technical committee, even if injured, and the cause for replacing anyone must be presented.
It is important to note that two key players, Fakhar Zaman and Shaheen Afridi, have been battling injuries and are currently undergoing rehabilitation in London. They will join the squad in Australia before the event begins.
However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman, Ramiz Raja, recently stated said that Fakhar, a reserve pick, and Shaheen Shah have now recovered and will be available for selection come 23 October.

If PCB doesn’t make any change, then I m sure they won’t have any chance winning even against Namibia, let alone big teams like Australia or England.
Ab Itni Bhi Khair Buri Team Nahi Ha
😂
Uh are expurt By God. btw whom uh want into the team so that we can finish by winning the wc🙂
You have no sense of cricket. Stop criticism this team need only Fakhar in 15 member squad. insha’Allah Pakistan will win all matches.I am proud of my team Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰💯💯💯🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Fakar Zaman is must needed player in ghe t20 squad.Rezwan & Fakar will open then Babar
Fakhar is the most pathetic player ever surfaced in t20. Look at his performance since last 2 years. He is the most non deserving player ever to get most chances and yet he always failed but for some reasons he is still favored.
Ramiz raja SB plz ab zid chor do ye squad buria tra fail ho Chuka hy hosh MN aa Jao ab ramiz bhai
Must need to be include Shoaib Malik for strong middle order…. Because iftikhar playing like a test player and Haider Ali also failed. Khushdil shah also failed….
I agree your statement☝️☝️☝️☝️
Bro he announced retirement
I agree with YOU brother❤️
Pakistan Don’t want to win the WC simply very bad team selected bowling department is weak as batting .PCB don’t use it brain and I bet Pakistan will lose badly in WC
Asteen k saanp, Afghani lagtay ho
Agr you acha nahi ha tu baat achi KR Lia kro
Agr mou acha nahi tu baat achi KR Lia KR sanp k hachy pora Pakistan kha Gaye ho idr baat merit ki ho Rahi ha aur tuj jaisy log zaat paat pee ajaty ho shukar alhamdulillah pathan Afridi ho AP ki Tara koi ranjeet baljeet sing Punjabi ki aulad nahi
Jahil aadmi jitni bhi larai ho …. pathan punjabi nhi bante …. pehle hi hum totay hue han … ham sab ❤PAKISTANI❤ han…. proud to be pakistani not pathan or punjabi or anyone else
Team must need fakhar zaman .And rizwan and fakhar will bat first then babar.
Sharjeel Khan and Shoaib Malk ko lazmi shamil krna chaye team Mai….
Fuck pcb chairman Waseem and rameez
Yar changes lazme tha phir problem Hoga
Shoiab Malik is crucial. He is capable to handle the situation. Middle order in a team must be strong to support ahead. Reliance on Babar and rizwan will not do in the long run.
Shoaib is expired why not Afridi
Babar Azam last tournament as Captain.
No imad wasim
No Malik
Matlab wajniya bariya ney…
Yah, where is Imad?
Khushdil
Iftikhar
Haider Ali
All 3 failed against all teams in all matches including Asia cup and home series against England.
We are relaying only on Rizwan and Babar so far.
If they failed in any match we will definitely lose the match except bowler do a unbelievable job.
We desperately need to add a high strike rate opener like Sharjeel,Azam Khan or Fakhar Zaman whoever has best fitness and consistent form right now, Moreover we are in most need to improve our middle order and with only one person that is SHOAIB MALIK, He is the only one who can lead the team in crucial situation, He know how handle pressure and how to hit boundaries when needed. Furthermore he has the most experience to give hand to Babar Azam and help him out to release the pressure for big event.
If we get a loss without these players. Selectors and Ramiz Raja Sahab will be highly responsible to lose another world cup and also responsible to disappoint a complete Nation.
Raja sab Malik or Shrjeel k sath zyadati kr Rahy hen or Babar sab Dostiya nibha rahy hen
Ramiz Raja Chairman PCB
M Wasim Chief selectors PCB
Both will b removed after badly lost in world cup and Baber Azam also rwmovd from captancy….
Yeah and then we will see some legendary player? Who in Pakistan is better than Babar?
What do you think , this team is best for such any big event like this? Babar is a good batsman but he proved himself that he is not a good captain but very best in keeping friendships. He is actually a dull minded captain.
It is a brilliant team. Management picked most suitable players for team and kept faith in these players. Hopefully these players will return same faith with performances. Full support. Wining and losing is part of game but team building is on right track. Although i would have liked to see Malik in the squad but i can understand his exclusion. Best Wishes
Are you in your senses. Are you a relative of Ramiz or Wasim
No I am not a relative. I have my opinion like you have your own. I think a good squad could be only built by having a solid plan and giving players enough chances. Some of them will swim, some will get drown but process cannot be stopped in the middle on public pressure. This squad has a template. There complete baters like Babar and Rizwan, then there is Fakhar who has his international performances to back him up, Shan Masood is the most in form batsman in the world at the moment just check his form in recent leagues in England etc, Iftikhar is a seasoned player in domestic circuit, he also provides a bowling option, he has plenty of performances to back up his selection, Khushdil & Asif has specific roles to play. No one in Pakistan can play that role better than them. They cannot act selfish for their long term careers, they are playing for the team. Nawaz/ Shadab is very good allrounder combo. Wasim Jr is a very good bowler and handy hitter. Naseem/Shaheen/ Dhani/ Ruaf are very good bowlers, in fact we are spoilt for choices. This bowling battery has been groomed by this selection board. This is a very good team. As supporters we need to get mature. Players will go through bad forms and bad luck patches. We cannot lack faith in them if they are good players which they are. Everyone of them has a reason to be in the team. I stand behind them. Wining and losing is part of game.
Worst situation for Pakistan in the presence of Shan Masood, Iftikgar chacha, Haider Ali, Khushil, Asif Ali. Shan Masood, Iftikgar are not T20 players while Khushdil and Asif are totally failed. Shoaib Malik and Sharjeel must be selected. Rameez Bhai and all the management doesn’t want Pak to qualify even in the 2nd round of WC. Afsos
Amir ko q ni khelaty ramiz ny India se pasy Liye ha or ramiz ko khud kuch ni ata tha team ab is chairman bna diya …..bakao maal ha Sara
Amir ko khelao ni TU pcb chor do ramiz
Ramiz khud bakao mall ha amir ki cricket mat khrab kry….ye team pori Tara fail ho gi inshallah or teriii chotii Hogi ramiz
We must needed fakhar in t20 squad to replace that poor select test player shaun masaud if we go with this team we can’t won against india or other teams so please Ramiz bhai remove shaun masaud from the squad but if fakhar is injured then select to shoaib Malik please Ramiz wew requested you thank you
Shargel Malik amir 99 playing fainl Pakistan
If they add Fakhar to the squad then our team is doomed to fail in the first round. This turd is disappointing for over 2 years yet he always gets the chance in the team over far more deserving players.
2 good batters must be included in squad Like Shoaib and any other consistent batter other wise this team will be back to home in first round of WC 2022.
This is a v feeble team, there are remote chances of its qualifying for the semis
Must add shoiab Malik in any condition..
Whole nation want to see Malik in the squad then why not adding.. this stupid management is corrupt I guess.
Just a few concerns of mine about the selection of the Pakistan team. Please, answer them. The concerns are as follows,
1) In the previous T20 World Cup it is observed that we don’t have any bowler who can bowl to a left-handed batsman.
2) Pakistan team has none of the batsmen who can play the short ball.
3) If bowling fails and another team makes 200. We have none of the batsmen who can chase that.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

2) Sharjeel

Yes
Please add Malik & Fakhar in playing 11. We need experience players. Take Jo team ko Le k chal sake or agr aap ki ye team fail hoi Jo k hogi hi to Aap bhi ghar Jane ko tayar Rahe ramiz raja and selection team
Afsos k sath Kehna prta hai k Jo experts hai cricket k UN ko itni smjh nae k Kya best hai team k liya or Kya nae itni Gandi batting line hai Pakistan ki but inko koi frk nae prta kindly Shoaib ko add kren or opening main sharjeel ko.
selfsh or foolish decision taken by PCB right now. there middle order is totally flop. asif , iftikhar , khushdil, especially they played regular 3 series. first asia cup , then series against england and now a tri series of bangladesh and new zealand. near about 20 matches they played in a month of gap. these 3 players plays atleast 15 matches out of 20. no performance of these 3 players but unfortunately our PCB is plays a role of blinder these days. why thy did not added shoaib malik. why they ignoring sharjeel khan on regular basis. he perform in KPL. He performed in National t20 cup. our PCB doing unjustice with their responibility. they follow our current govt policy maker. they follow honourable judges of Pak courts. they follow our military leadership.
plz pick up malik in team as a middle order batsman he is one of the best player who changes the momentm of the game…
Ab ye Ramiz Raja ji ana ka masla hai. Thats why he wants to persist with this pathetic middle order. Otherwise Shoiab is a must have in the middle having an average as good as Warner, Miller, Kohli, Finch over 400+T20 games.
During England series pcb failed, was needed to change the batting order during 7 matches
If the playing eleven is same than my batting order will be
Shan Masood
Haider Ali
Babar Azam
Shahdab
Rizwan
Asif Ali
Nawaz
Rauf
Naseem
Shaheen shah
Hasnain
As we know in Aus pitches are fast with extra bounce must include your four 150+ speed fast bowlers
And Babar and Rizwan should come in middle as they are only reliable players in team
Perfect playing XI according to me for wc 2022
1. Rizwan
2. Babar
3. Fakhar
4. Shadab
5. Haider
6. Shoaib
7. Asif
8. Nawaz
9. Shaheen
10. Naseem
11. Rauf
Shoaib is not availble.
I’m prime Minister agar Shoaib team mein hain to
مہر بانی کرکے افتخا ر کی جگہ پہ فخر

The team needs to change, the team will not be strong if the middle order is not fixed first
Malik and Azam Khan should be given a place in the middle order, and Pakistan should win the Twenty20 Cup, we who support Pakistan want.
Pakistan need the middle order batman to fire to win the tournament West indies All the way
Shargeel khan . Haris Sohail must in the team . Shargel khan destroy the opposition. Imad waseem .
All the best ♥️ Pakistan zinda baad
False Information, as last date to make changes in the squad is 15 October so don’t spread wrong information
Sharjeel ko Lana chayen
i wish pak team perform better in world cup but if not then with some players, raja and waseem will also go home.
Pakistan Team need Fakhar Zaman.
Khuda Ka wasta Shoaib Malik ko daalo
Ni to middle order already fail ha.or plz ye sab parchi players bahir karo
Assalam o alaikum.shaheen shah Afridi must be include in Pakistan 11 and Muhammad Abbas I think should be include in this team
