If such was a case, Imran nazir, if he is so talented and amazing as an opener, he would never have been dropped at the international level. If he was a player in the 80’s he would have never been picked up as a player as imran khan would have just said “NO” after his amazing performances as an opener. An opener is defined as someone who takes a good luck at the pitch and actually defines the gameplan for the whole team to follow. So is the case for so many openers.
Tests 8 13 0 427 131 32.84 2 1
ODIs 74 74 2 1784 160 24.77 2

This is the average stat of Mr. Imran Nazir. As you can see, he has been given ample oppurtunity to be part of the team. But has not performed during those times. 20/20 is not cricket, its just a sham. Real Players will always be known for Test Cricket. The greats we have called greats for so long were not 20/20 players but great Test players. That is where the flaws of Pakistani cricketers come into true colors. WAKE UP and MOVE ON

Pakistan has a strong case to bring those back.Due to security fears Pakistan cricket has suffered a lot and ICC has not offered Pakistan any assistance what soever the least they can do is to allow players like Nazir, Razaq and Naved. They will pull in the crowds all over the world and this has to be good for Pakistan cricket.
I hope these players read these blogs and legally challange ICC fom depriving them of international cricket.

I think imran nazir is abest opner.he should open with afridi.it is wastage of afridi to send it 5 or 6 number.give him chance to open.i pray my country to win.may pakistan come at 1st number in ICC ranking.

Forget banning and restricting players. You have no right, let the people earn their living from the talent for which they have invested their lifetime in. Play your best players.

ICC is a joke, If I was in ICC, I would make them Billions and Cricket would be THE # 1 sport in the world.

fyi hameed . rana naveed was the best bowler 2 years straight in the Icl. some of the former australian players in the Icl commented that his yorkers were most unplayable. thats the funny things about pakistani players they are such good exponent of the yorker. sohail tanvir and umar gul seem to have mastered the art too. 20 20 all these 3 should play.

nazir is tailor made for 20 20 nazir and razzak should open for pakistan but only in the world 20 cup. afrdi should be sacked. his performances lacked in the ipl and have been for the past 10 years. he should change is front foot game and improve on backfoot approach. like razaaq he gives himself room and plays straight planting is backfoot down. same with nazir hes outstanding square of the wicket and his shots stay hit. even though he cant play straight but it doesnt really matter in 20 20

As far as Imran Nazir goes, ICL wasn’t supporting world class pace bowlers or even a good handy pace bowlers. For instance, if you pitch him against guys with pace like Styen or Johnson, his shortcomings would come infront almost immediately. Anything that moves with the seam and comes in towards his pad, he won’t be able to get his bat down in time. This has been experienced and seen on numerous occasions during his stint with Pakistani cricket team. Razzaq was a loss, and would remain one until he comes back or pakistan brings someone of the same calibre.
Rana Naved, is way past his prime and i don’t think he deserves a call up at all.
ICL is not something for players who want to play for their country. It is certainly there for washed out cricketers. Yousaf though an exception, tainted his legacy for money. The rest are retired or had no future aka imran farhat and the lot. No one to blame them except their lust for Money. Playing for your country is a privilege, don’t let it get tainted by greed.

Razzaq and Nazir can really make difference in T20.
But please dont include Mohamad Yusuf in Pakistan’s squad at any time.Because next time also whenever he will get the opportunity he will leave the team for the sake of ICL.

I think that imran, naved and abdul razzaq are required in the pakistan cricket team. this is because at the moment pakistan team is really awful, by getting these players they can really change the future by emerging victorious in the upcoming T20 world cup in england.

The PCB listens to BCCI a lot and look what has happen now, they have batterayed you and they have ruin the future of the pakistan cricket teams. Now its PCB’s responsibility to get those players back into the pakistan cricket team as they are the ones who can change the pakistans cricket teams future.

i don’t think these three palyers can make difference in pakistan performance…

abdul razzaq can bat somewhat…

naved can be easily smashed to sixes the pace he bowls..

Imran Nazir do not have tecnique to play.. he just swings his bat and take chaces just like afridi..

pakistan performance cannot be chaged with these ICL playerss..

I am sure ICC will never let them come in !!

ICC=BCCI…!!! believe or not and pakistan has to obey that…
