#96443 - Why serial? Why Counter??

... this data [from the MUX] will be latched to a parrallel to serial Shift Register along with 4 bit counter values

Your multiplexer multiplexes 16 signal pairs to a single signal pair.

As you have only 2 signals, what's the point in converting it so serial? You only need 2 port pins to connect it direct!

And why bother with an external counter, which you then also have to feed into the 8051 (plus you'd need some way to synchronise it)? Why not just have the 8051 drive the select lines of the multiplexer?
