Azhar Ali
Adnan Akmal
Wahab Riaz
Abdul Rehman
Umar Gul
Saeed Ajmal

I think it’s very important to keep at the most, one Akmal in the playing eleven at a time. Also, the reason I picked Taufeeq ahead of Farhat is well, pretty obvious. Anybody but Farhat!! But. I would rather keep Azhar down the order because he can stick around for a long period of time and Taufeeq’s record surprisingly against South Africa is extraordinary..so it’s worth it to open with him. With the flat pitches of Dubai, I think it would be a better option to go in with 2 specialist spinners in Rehman and Ajmal. Sami would be raped by the SA batsmen. Having seen Tanvir Ahmed bowl, he would be really useful in swinging conditions, but on a flat pitch, he just doesn’t get enough movement or has enough pace to trouble the batsmen.

So your fifth bowler being hafeez would make 3 slow bowlers in the side…not to impressive pal
Its better to keep 3 pacers and 2 slow/spin bowlers..
