Re: Pakistan’s Squad for Aussies T20 series and WC T20
Imran Nazir is a welcome addition - lets hope he does more justice to his talent this time around. Razzaq for me is a flawed selection - he is well past his best and should not be selected ahead of Hammad Azam at all costs. Hammad is young, has ability and if he would get even half of the recalls Razzaq has gotten, Hammad would be a match winner by now.
Also dont agree with the selection of Sami and Tanvir ahead of Junaid. Junaid is clearly the best fast bowler we have and should be the first to be penned down when they make the final 11 before a match, the likes of Gul, Sami, Tanvir can be the 2nd seamer in the team but Junaid should always be the first seamer selected.
Ahmed Shehzad is unlucky to miss out - he has a lot of talent, in fact can probably be opening in ODIs and T20s for years to come.
Finally, good call by the PCB to announce Hafeez as T20 Captain till the end of the year - that should shut up the media’s darling “Boom-Boom-Flop-Flop” Afridi as his Captaincy aspirations.
