The young left-arm spinner was drafted in Pakistan’s squad during the tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Danish-Kaneria-c1314, failed to make an impression.
However, the youngster was not given any opportunity in the presence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdur-Rehman-Cheema-c41700 for the senior team and Multan’s left arm spinner, Zulfiqar
Babar, for the A teams.
Raza is more suited to the limited overs format of the game as he played a huge role in Rawalpindi’s victory in the tournament. He was brilliantly used by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-Tanvir-c90665 in the event, definitely adding to the youngster’s confidence.
The left-armer’s bowling is sound but he needs to improve on his batting in order to compete against the more experienced options available to the PCB.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sharjeel-Khan-c89775
The left-handed opener from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sialkot-c842 Stallions in a league match. Sharjeel scored 74 runs off just 41 balls, in which he struck five boundaries
and six smashing hits out of the park.
The youngster has played for Pakistan Under-19s and ‘A’ teams as well, sporting reasonable record at the first-class level. Sharjeel is a brilliant stroke-player and can change the course of the game singlehandedly.

Sialkot’s middle-order batsman, Shahid Yousuf, is a product of junior cricket and academies of PCB. He represented Pakistan Under-15s, Under-17s and Under-19s on several tours.
Shahid is an extremely talented batsman and this is the reason why he was expected to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Short-c90107 of opportunities, he has not been able to make an appearance on
the International scene.
Although he was picked for the limited overs leg of the England tour in 2006, he never got an opportunity to play for Pakistan.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-c89347 looked in a good touch during the T20 tournament and the selectors should consider him for the national squad in the future.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zulfiqar-Babar-c98673
The left-arm spinner from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daniel-John-Doran-c52287 of national selection since the last couple of years. He has represented the ‘A’ teams on a number of tours as well.
Babar has been extremely impressive in first-class cricket and is a genuine wicket-taker. The left arm spinner claimed a hat-trick against Karachi http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dolphins-c781 and won that match for his team.
However, he is facing tough competition from Abdur Rehman, who is doing pretty well for Pakistan in Test cricket as well as the shorter formats.
Conclusion
The Faysal Bank Super Eight T20 tournament has been a huge success in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755. Apart from showing the nations hunger for the sport, it also stands proof of the immense cricketing talent in the country.
Hopefully the national selectors will follow a logical path and give opportunities on a bigger scale to all the deserving http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Young-c98322 players who were able to make an impact in the tournament.
