List-A Numbers: Evidence for ODI Potential
Pakistan’s ODI selections typically draw heavily from List A cricket, where players are evaluated on their ability to balance strike rate with stability.
| List A Record | Value |
|---|---|
| Matches | 13 |
| Runs | 556 |
| Average | 46.33 |
| Strike Rate | 100.85 |
| Hundreds | 2 |
| Fifties | 3 |
| Fours | 54 |
| Sixes | 22 |
An average above 46 combined with a strike rate exceeding 100 is precisely the profile modern ODI teams seek—players capable of anchoring innings while accelerating when required.
Context Within the Selected Squad
Any merit discussion must also consider how a player compares to others in the squad. When the batting averages of several selected players are examined, Shamyl’s numbers appear competitive and in some cases stronger.
