Re: Pakistani Squad for SA announced.
I would have called it a balanced squad but Sami's inclusion has left a bad taste in my mouth. Frankly speaking, his constant inclusion in the side, is now way beyond the point of frustration and now becoming worrisome. It was a perfect opportunity for PCB to send a youngster, but still they picked up that slacker.
Good to see Asim Kamal in the squad.
It's a shame that Akhtar is not in the squad however he was not looking fit during the twenty/20 games. Iqbal Qasim has hinted that he can be selected for the ODIs later once regaining fitness by playing domestic games.
I am really optimistic that the combination of Asif, Gul and Nazir will do the job on South African pitches, however I would hate to see management picking sami over nazir during the tour.
