Re: Pakistan squads announced for Bangladesh Tour (Tests, ODIs & T20)
I'm happy for the most part. I think they selected a decent squad. Obviously Ahmed Shehzad is there in the T20 squad because the 'Selfie' boys want to be together. Other than that the squads look good.
I still think Pakistan should have got rid of Afridi altogether. He has become a liability and he will only take us backwards.
Re: Pakistan squads announced for Bangladesh Tour (Tests, ODIs & T20)
Fawad alam to be in tests ( most suitable ) and ODI ( good if given bowling as well specially if hafeez is not bowling) . Not to be in T20
Sohail tanveer still in team ??
From team selection seems that most of youngsters will warm up the benches...
Re: Pakistan squads announced for Bangladesh Tour (Tests, ODIs & T20)
After Sohaib Maqsood, Sohail Khan is also out of the Bengladesh tour due to back injury.. I think they all should start eating fruits/salad instead of anda cholay
Re: Pakistan squads announced for Bangladesh Tour (Tests, ODIs & T20)
Any team which still plays the likes of WC failures such as Afridi, Shehzad, Hafeez, etc just cannot be good.......I'm afraid the team is NOT moving forward, still stuck there, just the captains are different now.
Should've thrown out plays such as Ehsan Adil, Afridi, Hafeez, Shehzad......Hafeez and Shahzad play cowardly cricket.....will lead to pressure on the others, as usual. This time no Misbah for rescue

Afridi is OUT except T20 which is of ZERO importance except T20 WC.
Shehzad is also OUT of ODIs and Tests.
Hafeez is still one of our best players if he can clear his bowling action.
I think we have given a lot of youngsters chances to shine so no complaints there overall.
Re: Pakistan squads announced for Bangladesh Tour (Tests, ODIs & T20)
There you go, Azhar Ali starts as a captain with 27 off 49 balls against mighty Bangladeshi A side on a sub continent pitch. This will end up being worse than Misbah :(
Re: Pakistan squads announced for Bangladesh Tour (Tests, ODIs & T20)
**
ODI Squad**
Sami Aslam
Sarfraz Ahmed
Mohammad Hafeez
Asad Shafiq (For God's sake, he averages 13 in last 15-20 ODIs)
Fawad Alam (Great to see, totally deserves)
Azhar Ali (C ) (Not my option but have to live with this)
Mohammad Rizwan (Probably best news in ODI squad, brilliant keeper batsman)
Haris Sohail
Sohaib Maqsood (should be his last chance to shine)
Saeed Ajmal
Yasir Shah
Wahab Riaz
Rahat Ali
Ehsan Adil (Should have been replaced by Sadaf Hussain)
Sohail Khan
T20 Squad
**
1. Ahmed Shehzad (Selected due to Afridi otherwise he deserved test spot NOT T20)
2. Sarfraz Ahmed
3. Mohammad Hafeez
4. Mukhtar Ahmed (Great addition, leg spin hard hitting all rounder)
5. Sohaib Maqsood
6. Haris Sohail
7. Mohammad Rizwan
8. Saeed Ajmal
9. Shahid Afridi (C)
10. Sohail Tanvir
11. **Saad Nasim (He has potential to replace Afridi, needs to improve leg spin)
12. Wahab Riaz
13. Sohail Khan
14. Umer Gul
15. Junaid Khan
Saad Nasim was in T20 squad, then why he played in ODI?
