Re: Sri Lanka VS Pakistan 26th March @ Colombo
That was one of the first things that crossed my mind. Razzaq also came into this picture.
However, if I am not mistaken, the strategy of Bob Woolmer is such that he would rather prefer all-rounders instead of specialists. Yousuf has been scoring very heavily as of late, and I am more keen on having him in the team, but it is also of an immense value to see Faisal Iqbal sitting quietly on the bench and patiently waiting for his turn, while constantly making a name for himself and shining the torch everytime he is included in the squad. His form will be of utmost importance in the upcoming tour to England, as well as future tours and the World Cup. A very elegant replacement is this man, Faisal Iqbal, but I personally would rather witness class over form. A class evolves over time, whileas form is virtually unstable. Any batsman of the world can slump into a series of unhygienic form, but it takes a top class act such as Mohammad Yousuf to bring that back up, from scratch, hence my reason.
Although, yes, once again, Iqbal is a great opportunity for us to make use of and would make our batting very strong (if it is not already is) with his inclusion in the future games.
