Good to see that the youngsters who performed during the PSL have been given a chance to play for the national team. way to go forward.

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

Azhar Ali and Umar Akmal axed from T20 and ODI squads

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

Azhar dropped but UA fail in fitness test.

Sad to see malik still in the team… one youngster cud have been given chance. Ant one given whole series sure will perform better than malik

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

Shadab khan to be given fair chance not a one match show only

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

Umar Akmal failed the fitness test LOL

Wonder wut other test could he pass

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

Never saw a bigger parchi than malik. :hoonh:

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

reason for failure in the test is that they r used to heavy food , payee , nihari … one is said to be chain smoker. how is this possible

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

Azhar is a great test player and should never have been part of the ODI set up.

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

Kamran Akmal, Malik …

Yeah that tells all the story…only Pakistan would be relying on such players, new players should have given chance instead of these one in 10 match performers…

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

Um.. no I think they do need one batsman who can stay on wicket for longer duration. And thats Azhar since there is no Misbah or YK. Also remember that in recent years Pakistan finds it really hard to finish all 50 overs without getting out.

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

I think with a little more experience Babar will be able to perform that role and also keep the score board ticking.

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

malik he na overs zaya karne ke liyeee

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

ODI batting does not impress me

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

This will make T20 interesting:

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

Now that Kamran Akmal is back, Pakistan’s wicket keeping woes are behind them.

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

I don’t think Kamran will be the first choice keeper. he will only keep wickets if Sarfraz is injured

He has been selected for his batting

Despite Kamran’s catching and stumping bloopers in the past, he was the best keeper in the recent PSL

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

Ok. Seems Kamran has replaced his iron hands with soft hands.

Re: Shehzad, Kamran make comeback as Pakistan announce T20, ODI squads for WI series

Cannot believe Kamran Akmal is back. We endured his wicket keeping horror show for many years and now we have to witness him making a fool of himself in the field.
