Shahid Afridi initially asked for rest ahead of this tour, but now it seems according to Express News, he has stated he is available for selection.

Hopefully we start the rebuilding process (yet again), and get rid of Misbah, Younis Khan, Kamran Akmal, Abdul Razzaq, and I'm almost wanting to kick out Mohammad Hafeez just simply based on that shot.

So from our WC team, we can play this team possibly

1. Mohammad Hafeez
2. Kamran Akmal for Ahmed Shehzad
3. Asad Shafiq
4. Younis Khan for ???
5. Misbah-ul-Haq for ???
6. Umar Akmal
7. Shahid Afridi (C)
8. Abdul Razzaq for Sarfraz Ahmed (wk)
9. Wahab Riaz
10. Saeed Ajmal / Abdur Rehman
11. Umar Gul / Junaid Khan / Whoever

Comments?

I think spot 4 or 5 needs to be taken by an allrounder in the mold of Hammad Azam who can replace Abdul Razzaq.

West Indies are really playing 2 back to back good series. First this & then the World Champions India

Supporting West Indies for obvious reason

The Giant Imran Farhat is coming back! It will be treat to watch his edges to slip cordon.

Will be interested to see Junaid Khan bowl. Have heard the talk that he was as good as Aamir @ under-19 level, so looking forward to seeing another hyped PAK quick bowler.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

azhar ali will surely be in the team? he's been ok.

Giant Imran Farhat??? I guess it would be more appropraite to say him as a Giant of Failuers with poor footwork and batting technique.

I wonder where are Good Openers like Khalid Latif in the Squad. And Imran Nazir should definitely be in the T-20 Squad.

Has the Windies squad been announced? Sammy to continue being the Cappy?

 

[sami ullah khan]

Scrap Misbah and Younis from ODIS, Kamran Akmal and Razzaq from all forms of the game, and we will have a pretty good side in two year's time.

Why Razzaq?. I would think he still has much use in the ODI & T20 teams at least up until the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka 2012 (form permitting).

 

[sami ullah khan]

He did nothing of note in this world cup. He has lost his utility as an allrounder.

 

[Paki007]

i've heard a news that Adnan Akmal is picked for Tests and Salman Akbar for ODI's

 

[AfridiRulez]

The final squad was to be announced today, but it got delayed.

 

[sami ullah khan]

Adnan Akmal averages 22 with the bat and missed a few opportunity in New Zealand tour. He is only playing because he is an Akmal.

 

[War]

I remember Hamad Azam from the 2010 under 19 cup & he looked impressive.

How good is Mohammad Salman do you Pakistani's reckon?
