Babar Azam demands inclusion of Shadab Khan and Hassan Ali in ODI and T20 squad against Australia: Cricket experts




 


 Emad Waseem's replacement Shadab Khan's selection raised question marks.



 Lahore Latest Newspaper. March 31, 2022) Pakistan's vice-captain of white ball Shadab Khan is considered one of the most valuable players in the current ODI and T20 setup, but his fitness has made him a choice.  Questions have been raised.  Cricket experts in Pakistan believe that despite the real problems, Babar Azam has demanded that Shadab Khan and right-arm fast bowler Hassan Ali be included in the ODI and T20 squad against Australia.


 Shadab Khan's presence in the playing XI definitely makes a difference for the team but when his fitness does not allow him to play, the management should go for another option like Emad Wasim.  Emad's performance in whiteball cricket is not particularly bad, especially in ODIs.

 Comparing the batting between the two all-rounders, Emad has scored 986 runs in 40 innings at an average of 42.86 while maintaining his strike rate above 100. He has also scored 5 half centuries.  On the other hand, vice-captain Shadab Khan, batting in 27 ODI innings, has scored 434 runs with the help of 3 half-centuries and an average of 24.11 while his strike rate is 71.38 which is not good in terms of his position.


 In his 55 international matches, Emad has taken 44 wickets at an average of 44.47. His best bowling performance has been taking 5 wickets for 14 runs.  Shadab Khan has taken a total of 62 wickets in 46 innings at an average of 32.06, his best bowling is taking 4 wickets for 28 runs.  It is noteworthy that Emad shares a new ball with Shaheen Shah and sometimes achieves significant success.
