Anwar was not in the team because Imran did not think much of him and preferred the likes of Sohail, Ramiz Raja and Zahid Fazal. Anwar was able to come back in the team and establish himself only after Imran was out of the team. Anwar was not alone to Imran’s selective preferences. Shoaib Mohammad was another player that could never impress Imran Khan.

Well I met Imran Khan at a garden party in 1990 and he was only singing praises of Saeed Anwar, that what a naturally gifted opener Saeed was, one of the best timers he had ever seen… I think truth is somewhere in between. Maybe Saeed was out of form as well.

And to be fair to IK, Shoaib Mohammad was an average player. His father Hanif Mohammad was a genius but Shoaib was nothing special (yes I know he had 7 test hundreds) and with the likes of Mohsin Khan and Mudassar Nazar (both better than Shoaib IMO) around, Shoaib was always going to struggle to get into the side as an opener
