Captains that have respect amongst the players and boards and have influence on things sometimes set what the selection procedure will be.Misbah was heavily involved with his domestic teams, SNGPL/ Faisalabad Region/ Faisalabad Wolves. He provided clean hitting etc and when a player use to defeat Misbahs team, Misbah would start liking that player.He was selected but didnt do quite well in his early days.Anyways, after the 2019 World Cup, Paksitan saw it did not have any hitters, so they tried Asif Ali, Khushdil Shah, Danish Aziz and lastly Iftikhar.Iftikhar got his comeback and did well. Now Babar doesnt know how to use part time bowlers and that is why Ifti is under utilized as a bowler, but he gets more spin than Shadab
