Open with:
Sarfraz &
Hafeez

Middle order:
Babar Azam
Umar Akmal
Shoaib Malik

All-rounder:
Shahid Afridi (c)

Re: ICC World T20 2016, Your Pak XI

could drop Imad and play another batsman

Re: ICC World T20 2016, Your Pak XI

Imad should do well on Indian pitches.

Re: ICC World T20 2016, Your Pak XI

Please no Anwar and Shahzad drop them forever

Our bowling lineup should be

Gul
Amir
Wahab
Irfan
Afridi

Re: ICC World T20 2016, Your Pak XI

Our bowling is going down the drain as well. Nobody except Amir really deserves to be in the bowling lineup. Wahab is a mediocre bowler who just knows how to bowl short. We cannot keep picking him based on his one-spell performance against Watson (and Watson isnt even a good batsman anymore). Irfan is just OK and Gul is past his prime.
Its quite disappointing to see the decline in our arsenal of fast bowlers. With Waqar Younis being coach, one would expect him to teach these bowlers the art of yorkers, but I cant remember the last time any pakistani bowl one.

Re: ICC World T20 2016, Your Pak XI

Pretty much agree to this except that I’ll definitely play Wahab and pick one of Umar Gul/Anwar/Irfan as 3rd fast option

Re: ICC World T20 2016, Your Pak XI


Sohaib Maqsood should not be a wild card... rather sent to the wilds (i.e. wilderness)

Re: ICC World T20 2016, Your Pak XI

Nawaz might get picked for World T20 and even Saeed Ajmal could be back in the side especially so as Yasir is unavailable for 3 months
