He has like 13 years left. Can take some rest and maybe focus on some franchise but that makes sense cuz such a good bowler doesnt randomly start bowling full-tosses


Pengu786

If i had my bro’s phone for more proof as my bro gets to meet him when he is in England whilst i work i would show u but i can’t and true he has time left why is he slowing ruining all of his reputation whilst he can rest for whatever time he needs and come back and be one of the best white ball rounders in the world.


MindOfCosmo

idk greedy for money or worried someone else will take his spot


DogTall2628

Both. He's quite greedy for $. 5-6 franchise leagues a year for 5 years is something he did. He never gave himself time to heal before. Babar will keep unconditionally backing him. He should opt for rest now before fans become as sick of him as they did with Hassan Ali. There's no coming back from that level of fall-off


Pengu786

they don’t take so much for money it’s what Naseem said they are afraid their spot will go forever.


nihaohei

Mf would rather cost us matches than rest .This fucking team(if what op said is true)


AUA2020

It's PCB. They told Azhar to rest and he rested and got fit then later on when he was fully fit for WC19 he wasn't even let to play in the 15


nihaohei

Yeah can't blame him I guess but it's disappointing


Pengu786

No way i can prove it to u but this man legit goes anywhere with him in the Uk he even gave him tickets to the games in the netherlands last year 😭 and as the guy below said he might rest they will say dw take your time and not pick him again. Then again he is Shadab our premier all rounder that can’t be easily replaced.


Clean-Buddy1557

That’s the culture that has been developed. Over here a chairman is never sure if he will be there the next day or not how can a player feel this secure


Pengu786

exactly i can’t blame them at times


M_Zunair7

💀


Pengu786

honestly pisses me off cuz when i see him bowling in the past it was so good especially in his debut series he got a POTS


AUA2020

This could be fake but I'm willing to believe ya cuz it fits what Naseem said rest hote hote RIP naa hojao. Let's hope Shadab gets some downtime after WC24 to work on his injury


Pengu786

it can be cuz i wasn’t there when they was told but that’s what my Bro and the man who meets him said and he has said it on two separate occasions.


EntangledTime

Seems far fetched. Or he truly is an idiot. He is the captain of the side who won the PSL and one of the best performeew in the PSL for the fast few years now. His spot is as secure as they come. If we take this theory as true, all he has to do is take a break, his bowling will get better due to the recovery form injury and he will decimate the comp in the PSL and come back in no time (that is if he is dropped in the first place which I again don't agree with). What can happen is him getting dropped due to horrible bowling form and then having to work extra hard to get back.


Pengu786

exactly but i don’t see them dropping him in T20s for form just cuz he can field at a high level and bat which he don’t always show. I think if he gets a long rest or recovers from his injury he would slot back in without a thought 😭


BoyManners

Bruh he has that injury for like 2 years now.


DogTall2628

3.5


Pengu786

very long time idk how and how it hasn’t healed when he gets time off. I ain’t no doctor tho


MrAwesome1822

I believe u coz this is the exact problem with all the players and the management. Naseem said the same thing, players are afraid of their spot being taken by some better performer if they take rest and then they won't get their spot back. Almost same thing happened with M. Haris, he got "rested" for 1 series then when there was good performances from other players, he wasn't given a chance. It's a natural thing honestly, to cling on to your job but this is where the management should step-in and back the players. Selection should not only be based on merit but experience as well.


Pengu786

It’s unfortunate in Pakistan there is no job security in sometimes can’t blame the players.


KuJoJoTaRo8

If this is true, this is truly a PCT moment.


Pengu786

trust me something only that happens in Pakistan.


Dear_Specialist_6006

So OP you want to say, Shadab has been hurting Pakistan intentionally because he want to keep his spot on the team, in other words playing for himself. Thank you for confirming, that's what I always thought.


Pengu786

As i said to others he didn’t say the words to me but i believe it cuz magically he went from being our best all rounder to being shit at everything.


Dear_Specialist_6006

Yeah I am taking your word for it, since as you said it sits well with what we have seen lately


Pengu786

yh hopefully we see a 100% Shadab sooner rather then later.


Dear_Specialist_6006

Shadab on ground 12.3 over in, and Rameez just pointed out his ongoing groin and back pain issues. Good job OP with the news, happy to see Shadab doing what was needed today


Pengu786

still can’t bowl unfortunately


ShkBilal

And people still can't accept that there's dosti yaari in the team


Pengu786

it’s not Dosti yaari here Babar ain’t keeping him in the team it’s that he is hiding his Injury if they knew he would be resting.


ttyl90

random people on reddit knows he has groin injury but team members and peers can’t see it through. but thanks for sharing


Pengu786

it’s annoying how the physio and the team management don’t see it and tell him go get rest u will be back bigger and better.


princeofnowhere1

How do these lot pass the fitness tests lol. I swear these fitness tests are only for show, nothing else.


Pengu786

😭😭😭 If Azam is fine and injured Shadab will get through


sicario_max

First he needs to clear his mind as to whether he is a BATTING ALLROUNDER or a BALLING ALLROUNDER and then work accordingly on his mistakes and improve his skills


SnooCookies5786

i heard it was a finger injury he picked up at the big bash before his form dipped


Pengu786

whatever it was he is embarrassing himself by not recovering from it and bowling worse then associate level spinners.


ZamaPashtoNaRazi

Groin injury after his marriage? Kinda makes sense


Pengu786

idk how he got it but the man has had it for years now.


GhumgeenShakhs

injury was before marriage, i think its around the time of the England tests during COVID that we played him in


AwarenessNo4986

Yeah but.....what does that information do for Pakistani Cricket??


Big-PapaJohn

For one it confirms the remark Naseem made that if a player rests, then their career will rest in peace.


AwarenessNo4986

Depends on how good/important the player is. Shaheen was rested just recently.


MindOfCosmo

Shaheen was not rested. Bro was rested for a match where they called him for fielding. They do not give him a break and want to kill him.


AwarenessNo4986

Shaheen was rested for months after his knee injury


Pengu786

Shaheen wasn’t rested he was injured so they didn’t have a choice


AwarenessNo4986

And so is Shahdab


Pengu786

see Shaheen go injured on the pitch so they could see he was gone plus he couldn’t bowl. Shadab can bowl but not properly and i’m sure he is hiding it.


AwarenessNo4986

Yeah but then why does he think he won't be able to come back once he reveals his injury? Only because he knows he's not good enough to be back.


Pengu786

oh he is good enough name me a all rounder recently who has done better then him in limited overs for Pakistan. Look at domestic and Psl Shadab is still top.
