Sharjeel Khan
Pakistan’s head coach and chief selector minced no words in criticizing Sharjeel Khan. While the former skipper believed that the south-paw has the potential to bat at a strike rate of 150; he isn’t particularly impressed with Sharjeel’s fitness and hence, has clearly explained that for a comeback the opening batsman must lose weight and improve his over-all fitness.
Haider Ali
Misbah-ul-Haq seemed more impressed with Haider Ali rather than Sharjeel Khan. The 45 year old believed that the teenager has done enough to impress everybody concerned with his performance and thus, it seems that Pakistan’s chief selector is likely to select Haider ahead of Sharjeel whenever international cricket resumes next.

The former skipper however, seemed unfazed and believed that it was a closely fought tournament and that one good game could have changed things around dramatically for the franchise.
