T20 World Cup 2021: Predicting Pakistan's squad for the tournament
Pakistan is a team full of talents, but who will play and who will miss the flight to UAE? Here is their predicted squad for the T20 World Cup.
9. Sharjeel Khan
Sharjeel Khan has got a second chance to his international career and would be keen to revive it now. His T20I numbers so far don’t do justice to the talent which he possesses as a batter in this format. But, given the current state of Pakistan’s top order, having Sharjeel has a few downsizes.
First, let us consider the advantages. Sharjeel is a great hitter of the ball and is someone who can make use of the powerplay. He can strike the ball really hard and given the license, we might see another beast at work. In a recent match of the Kashmir Premier League, he also scored 141 runs in just 63 balls.
The downsize is also around his batting position. Unlike Fakhar Zaman, there will be a resistance to play him in the middle order. He is someone who likes to bat at the top of the order and is someone who has not been tested in the middle order. For now, it seems that he could play the role of the backup opener.
