“We are trying to persuade Miandad to help the batsmen,” Afridi said, according to AFP. “We realise there are batting problems so we have told Miandad that the country needs him, so hopefully he will accept that role.”
Miandad responded by saying that he was always ready to assist the players whenever the need arose. “I thank PCB chairman and Afridi for calling me and requesting help,” Miandad told a private television channel.***

Younis Khan, Kamran Akmal, Abdur Razzaq and Umar Gul -> Going to be rested according Ejaz butt
I think they should select Navid Yasin & Aamir Sajjad as batsmen in the middle order instead of Younus Khan & Misbah. Change Kamran Akmal with the best available keeper in the country. I dont know who that is, maybe Sarfaraz Ahmed. Bring in Anwar Ali also a pacer.
Is it going to be history repeats itself...
With Mohammad Sami, Imran Farhat and Faisal Iqbal back? I hope not.
PCB fails to name squad for West Indies tour
LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) selection committee on Tuesday failed to select team for West Indies tour, Geo News reported.
The meeting of PCB selection committee, under the chair of Chief Selector Mohsin Hassan Khan, was held in Gaddafi Stadium here. The meeting was attended among others by selector Muhammad Ilyas, Azhar Khan, Farrukh Zaman, Asif Baloch and captain Shahid Khan Afridi.
The 15-member squad for WI tour was finalized in the meeting but owing to unknown reasons the decision to name the squad was deferred till tomorrow (Wednesday). Although Itikhab Alam and Waqar Younis would retain as manager and coach respectively.
Either Afridi did not agree with the total makeup of the squad or they want to give coach a chance to provide input. I hope the announcement doesn't shock the world.
Miandad can only offer ‘how to bat’ tips but he can’t change anyone if he is choker, or stupid (Kamran, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Hafeez) in shot selection.

I think he got 2 overs only and why didnt Afridi use him when Gul was getting hit. I personally think he was being victimised as our captain didn’t wanted another all rounder outshine him.

I kind of agree with you.... he is much better bowler compared to how Afridi has utilized him. 2 boundries in an over and Razzaq is done for the day. I still think he needs to go as long as Afridi is in team.
I dont think Miandad is a proper answer, Get Someone with Aggressive mind set and Strong Technique… I wish Amla was Available :(, Zaheer Abbas wud be my choice.
I think Hassan Raza is a Very good Talent ... but he never performs in front of Crowd.... Probably some psychological issue. When he came in the side he wud play sweep shot only. You wud be surprised looking at his foot work now. He has Improved a lot.
