This is going to be an unpopular take but I strongly believe that Azam Khan still doesn't deserve a place in this @IsbUnited side. Let's look at the numbers (a thread).

On the face of it, Azam scored 65 in 35 balls @ 185.71. But if you break it down
Bowler Runs Balls S.R
Nawaz 2 3 66.67
Faulkner 11 8 137.5
Afridi 38 10 380
Tanvir 5 7 71.43
Naseem 9 7 128.57

So, in essence, Azam only played a blinder against Afridi, who had a terrible outing with the ball and kept putting the ball in hitting zones. In fact if you take out Afridi's numbers, Azam only scored 27 off 25 balls @ 108 against the rest.
To make it even more terrible, from ball 13 to ball 30 that he faced (i.e between his first and second bout with Afridi) he scored 17 off 18 balls @ 94.44. This is right smack in the middle of death overs with Asif Ali waiting on the sidelines.
I would love to be the one filling out apology forms to Azam Khan by the end of #PSL7, but I recommend @IsbUnited to think about getting Gurbaz in for Azam before it's too late and they end up losing a crucial game at a crucial time.
