Re: Time to bring Salman Butt back?
i agree Salman Butt is consistent when he gets into form, but the PROBLEM is he rarely gets into the form.
I believe Paksitan should have included Yasir Hameed into the world cup squad. I know he didn't perform that well in tests in SA, but he is a good player atleast better than any other openers we have.
Cricinfo summarizes it perfectly
It's hard to know what Hameed must have done to offend the Pakistan selectors. In the past two years he has played in just four ODIs out of 45, and yet in those games he has run up scores of 41, 57, 71, and 41. Admittedly they have come a touch slowly by one-day standards, but Hameed is by nature an opener, and that department has been Pakistan's Achilles Heel since the retirement of Saeed Anwar. Instead, Mohammad Hafeez, Imran Nazir and Kamran Akmal have been trusted to come up with a combination that can improve on their tally of three half-century stands in the past 12 months.
