Re: Pakistan announced 15-men squad for first Test
This is a PATHETIC squad. Unbelivable. Like HomiD said…I can’t believe Younus Khan wanted Kamran Akaml in the team. If anything…thats one person who MUST be dropped and deserves to be dropped more than anyone else, yet he is retained. First it was Malik who had a love affair with Akmal and now its Younus.
Faisal Iqbal? Are u frikkin serious? When we have the likes of Saeed Bin Nasir and Umer Amin in domestic cricket firing at all cylinders…you pick Faisal Iqbal? A tried and tested failure.
The only positive selection is Talha and Shehzad. But accorinding to cricinfo…it was Qadir who insisted Shehzad be picked for the final 15 and Younus and Qadir even got into a heated arguement over his selection…so no credit goes to Younus for his selection and due to that…I’m positive poor Shehzad wont even get a chance to play.
I had high hopes from Younus when he took over as captain. I thought he would bring sweeping changes and would get rid of all the parchi players like Akmal and Faisal for good…but seems like its still Malik who’s captain…just with a different name.
Extremely disappointed
