I didn't know about that. Since this has been stickied, i guess we'l have to use this one now. Sorry @Perfect Square

Kamran Akmal in the squad yet again, will Pakistan ever learn? It's time to move on from proven failures, particularly after giving them years of opportunities. Until Pakistan learn to look to youth over failures, they'll never achieve anything big. Harsh but it is what it is.

His form over the last two seasons could not be ignored.

Is he picked for just T20? Just checked, ODI's also. If he can open the batting and play till the 2019 WC then why not?

Just hope he doesn't WK. It's a calamity in waiting.

He'll probably play at 4 in ODIs and open in T20s.

Interesting.

I read somewhere that U Akmal said that his reason for weight gain was drinking too much water?

He's just stupid. He's a "paindu" trying to look cool on social media. Atleast Kamran is humble.

Also indirectly hinting that his record could have been batted at no.3 instead of no.6 when asked about his comparison with Kohli.

Right, he has been in great form, and past is past. It's very unlikely he will even keep, as it seems he is just there for his batting. Kamran brings good experience to the team and is way better than his bro (who is thankfully dropped). It's time to give him a chance.

And why Amir is excluded from T20s? Just made the FC team and noticed this.

I feel like he might open, with no Sharjeel Khan Pakistan need a little bit of an explosive opener.

Shehzad and Fakhar will probably open
