Shadab has turned into a fine allrounder, but since the last WC he's averaging 40+ with the ball. That's probably inflated a bit by the flatter pak home decks, but he's really not been great. I can see him turning it around, hes a quality t20 bowler, but he's performing like a 3rd spinner, which is pak's issue. If they only field nawaz/mir+shadab+salman as the three spinners they've got a very underwhelming attack. All the other SC teams have better spin depth, so do SA, and I don't think it's much better than AUS/ENG/NZ.

On paper Shadab is defs a way better second spinner than most can field, I'm just not sold on his current form in the format, especially given the fact that he's a wrist spinner going to india. Wrist spinners generally don't travel amazingly there to begin with.
He's barely played since the last World Cup. Pakistan have played the least ODI games of any test playing national overall and he's played half of them. I wouldn't put any stock in those averages at all. He's a lot better than Moeen, Agar, whoever NZ can field and not worse than Jadeja. He's not a typical wrist spinner, is he? Quick through the air. If he has a bad Asia Cup I'll worry but I don't think there's any reason to write him off yet. The spin bowling isn't a strength but it's just about middle of the pack imo.

Yeah no your right about shadab in india, bad shout on my end. He's a more modern t20 style wrist spinner who targets the stumps and bowls a bit quicker from memory. Leggies usually struggle over there if there a bit slower through the air.
