Imam-ul-Haq teases fans with good news, poses with 'super young and fit' Sarfaraz Ahmed
Pakistan left-handed batsman Imam-ul-Haq on Sunday took to Instagram to go away a teaser for fans of Pakistan cricket regarding some upcoming "good news".
In the picture, the batsman are often seen standing with former Pakistan cricket captain Sarfaraz Ahmed. Haq complimented Sarfaraz by praising his fitness and saying that the previous captain looked "super young" also .
After Imam, on debut and under difficult conditions, led Pakistan to a hard-fought convert Ireland, his credentials shouldn't be questioned. He's earned his keep — a minimum of for the nonce . Product of a parchi you say? Torn up pieces of that parchi are often found everywhere The Village dig in Ireland.
As for keeping the ostensibly deserving Fawad Alam out of the side, well that southpaw may be a middle-order batter — a finisher — while Imam is an opener. How is one a replacement of the other?
Of course, this all is returning to the critics — including yours truly — only now. Now that we've been proven wrong and now that Imam didn't fall through on his face on his debut like many folks had envisaged.
Imam, a 22-year-old, clothed to be Pakistan's saviour in Malahide. The narrative crumbled. The script flipped.
Turns out, Imam may in any case have talent. More notably, it seems that his uncle, a person of cricket — correction: a legend of cricket — may have an eye fixed for talent. And he might not are lying when he had passionately defended his record and said he had nothing against anyone.

The thing is that in modern sports tons of religion is put in numbers. within the last 20 years , concepts like sports analytics and moneyball and whatnot have appropriated . They've led us to believe that numbers don't lie — and while they'll not, they do not necessarily tell the entire story either.
So Fawad may have averaged 40 within the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy this season but that was down from his last year's average of 56. A 16-run single-season plunge for a 32-year-old, albeit he's still fit, is an alarming sign.
