^ I totally agree. you can not and should not drop one of

Yousuf, Shoaib and Umer

Afridi and Akmal are also automatic choice because of their dual roles

Ajmal, Aamir, Gul are also automatic choice because of bowling.

Pick 1 from Razzaq or Asif depending on the pitch

and that leaves us with 2 spots. Ideal condition is that Younus is performing well so we select younus and 1 regular opener. Kamran, Shahid and Shoaib can open with him but with Younus’s current form, I’d even have him as non-playing captain !

The problem that is causing the headaches is that Shoaib Malik has refused to open the batting any longer.
