Shoaib Malik says this youngster is Must in Pakistan’s playing XI

Srinagar: Senior Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik has said that there is one batter  eho should be must in Pakistan playing XI in the World Cup 2023.

Shoaib Malik while expressing his views has said thay young batter Saud Shakeel is must in playing XI. 

Saud Shakeel scored 53-ball 75 in the warm-up game against New Zealand in Hyderabad last week.

 “I always thought Saud Shakeel should be mandatory in the Pakistan Cricket Team. A batter with a strong technique like Saud plays an important role after Babar Azam and M Rizwan,” Malik was quoted.

Malik said that everyone need to support Babar Azam as the captain of the team in the mega event.

“Babar Azam has been doing captaincy of Pakistan, and this is the time to support him. The media also has to play an important role in supporting Babar in the World Cup. I’m very much hopeful for the good performance of the Pakistan Cricket Team and the captaincy of Babar in the World Cup.”

Regarding the team’s warm-up matches, Malik pointed out, “Pakistan has also scored around 700 runs if they conceded 700 runs in warm-up matches.”

About Naseem Shah, who is out of the World Cup due to a shoulder injury.

“Naseem, Shaheen [Shah] and Haris [Rauf] became a strong trio. Unfortunately, Naseem got injured, but the PCB Selection Committee should have given occasional opportunities to other bowlers as well previously,” he added.

Pakistan start their campaign on October 6 in Hyderabad against the Netherlands.
