The way I see it, there is no room for Fawad Alam in the test team. Unless they decide to go with 5 Specialist batsmen, then you have to wonder whether it will be Afridi or Shoaib Malik at # 6. I sure hope not. The only genuine all rounder is the squad might be Yasir Arafat. Fawad Alam's bowling in not suited for test cricket. And Umar Amin is not even in the 22 probables.
I think this might be a good lineup.
- Salman Butt
- Khurram Manzoor
- Younis Khan
- Faisal Iqbal/Saeed Bin Nasir/Bazid Khan
- Misbah-ul-Haq
- Asim Kamal
- Sarfraz Ahmed
- Yasir Arafat/Sohail Khan
- Umar Gul
- Sohail Tanvir
- Danish Kaneria
If they want 4 bowlers + an all-rounder. I think Yasir Arafat has done everything right and deserves a spot in the playing 11.
