@yaasir

Younus and Nasir must be dropped in my opinion. This would be my playing eleven -

1. Ahmed Shahzad
2. Umar Akmal
3. Haris Sohail
4. Misbah Ul - Haq
5. Sohaib Maqsood
6. Sarfraz Ahmed
7. Shahid Afridi
8. Yasir Shah
9. Wahab Riaz
10. Sohail Khan
11. Mohammad Irfan

Yasir Shah would come good against Zimbabwe as they are not known to be such good players of spin bowling. Irfan obviously would be handy against them as well. I think it would be a mistake to go in with just 4 bowlers like we did against WI because in the 2 games Zimbabwe have played in this WC, they have shown the ability to put up a decent total and they bat deep.

The other worrying thing is the Dav Whatmore is now their coach who was previously coaching Pakistan…so he would know all about the current Pakistani players and obviously Zimbabwe will plan accordingly.

Umar Akmal shouldn’t open, otherwise he will become another qurbani ka baqra, Haris Sohail can open alongwith Shahzad, Umar can come 2 down.

Ahmed Shehzad
Haris Sohail
Misbah
Umar Akmal
Sarfaraz
Sohaib Maqsood
Shahid Afridi
Wahab Riaz
rest doesn’t matter.
