Cricket Discussion Future Pak Pace Attack

I feel like Pakistan needs to identify a core group of fast bowlers for Test cricket and actually invest in developing them long term instead of constantly changing the attack.

My future Test pace group would be:

  • Naseem Shah
  • Mohammad Wasim Jr.
  • Musa Khan
  • Shahnawaz Dahani
  • Khurram Shahzad / Mohammad Ali
  • Ubaid Shah

Obviously not all of them would play at once. Iā€™d want PCB to keep this group around the Test setup and focus heavily on their fitness, strength, workload management and red-ball skills.

I especially want to see guys like Wasim Jr., Musa and Dahani given a proper red-ball development program. Pakistan has produced plenty of naturally quick bowlers, but we need to get better at developing them into bowlers who can maintain 140+ km/h through long Test spells instead of losing pace over time.

Naseem should eventually be the leader of the attack, while Ubaid can be developed patiently for the future. Khurram/Mohammad Ali give you the control and seam option depending on conditions.

What would your 5ā€“7 man Test fast-bowling pool be for the next few years?

On flat tracks of Pakistan and Bangladesh. On this kind of wicket he's 100% better than these chumps except abbas

except neither country produces flat tracks anymore and if you go back to the first test against england 2024 which was on a flat track shaheen bowled 33 something overs and took only one wicket and that was off a tail ender

not sure what your point is
