Pacer Irshad may be called to camp for Sri Lanka tour
By our correspondent
KARACHI: The national selection committee met in Lahore on Monday to deliberate upon the selection of probables for next month?s tour of Sri Lanka where Pakistan play two Tests and three One-day Internationals (ODIs).
Chief selector Wasim Bari said, after the long meeting, that it had been held basically to deliberate upon the choice of probables and that it was decided to announce them after a few days since the Twenty20 Cup was also underway in Karachi.
But he did indicate that young pacer Mohammad Irshad, in the absence of the injured Shoaib Akhtar and suspended Shabbir Ahmed, stood a very good chance of making the training camp as he had been bowling well in domestic cricket and in the side matches he played against England and India.
Bari also confirmed that all-rounder Shahid Afridi had recovered from his ribcage injury but didn?t elaborate on whether he would play for his regional team, Karachi in the Twenty20 Cup when he was fit.
A PCB source said the selectors had finalised a shortlist of players for the training camp which begins immediately after the Twenty20 ends on March 4. "There are some new faces in the probables? list but this list can be changed later on," the source said. The selectors are also said to have consulted Inzamam-ul-Haq during the meeting as coach Bob Woolmer is out of the country on vacations.
The source pointed out that generally most of the players who appeared against England and India selected themselves for the camp with a question mark remaining over the fitness of pacer Umar Gul.
He said others like Salman Butt, Imran Farhat, Mohammad Yousuf, Younis Khan, Inzamam, Faisal Iqbal, Kamran Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Abdul Razzaq, Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Sami, Rana Naved, Mohammad Asif, Danish Kaneria and Gul were obvious choices. "It?ll be interesting to see what the selectors have decided for veteran off-spinner Arshad Khan and whether they retain him for Sri Lanka given the conditions there or opt for one or two youngsters like Mansoor Amjad and Tahir Khan," the source said.
The selection of the touring squad for Sri Lanka could be the final assignment for Bari and his men as the Ad-hoc Committee, which meets again on March 28, has come close to appointing a new paid selection committee.

Yes exactly, Everyone would think I was nuts if I said that Brett Lee was the fastest bowler in the world but he was only playing for NSW.

Well if you dont know some bowler, he is not necessarily a bad bowler or a rumour. Shoaib Akhtar was also not that well known and suddenly burst into the international scene to become the world's fastest bowler. Many bowlers bowl the odd quickest delivery like Sami once clocked 100 or something. Akhtar bowls consistently in the 90's which is really fast and if he puts in more effort it goes close to 100 mph.
Yes cricinfo will get the odd bowlers wrong but if there is an extremely quick bowler they will definitely list them as a fast bowler not a fast medium. This does not mean the bowler won't crack the 90mph barrier but the chances of them cracking the 100mph is highly unlikely.

The Problem with Akthar is that if he puts in the extra effort he always pulls a muscle!

Well lets see if Pakistan include him in the squad against Srilanka, which is not highly unlikely in the absence of the mainstream bowling lineup. That should clear all our confusions, as to what kind of a bowler he is.
