If the PCB had any guts, they would drop
Yousef
Younis
Malik
Kamran Akmal
Umar Akmal
Umar Gul
Yousef has been running his mouth for a long time without backing it up with the bat. He was CORRECTLY dropped from the T20 and went and joined ICL for the money before coming running back once the league folded. He has the audacity to bash Malik ? For what?
Younis needs to be dropped for all the dramas he creates. He behaves more like a wannabe beauty queen rather than a professional player.
Malik also deserves to be dropped. He hasnt performed for a very long time and he is also clearly in a league with the Akmal brothers in the team, such groupings should be discouraged and Malik needs to get his act together as a player before he is allowed to make a comeback.
Kamran Akmal has been extra luggage for a very long time...his keeping is pathetic. Even Moin Khan, who was never a natural keeper, did not drop as many catches as Akmal has. To add to that, the indiscipline on his part on making statements that hes gonna play etc....all adds to a nice and long outing from the team for the elder Akmal. Sarfraz Ahmed should have an extended run in the team in all 3 formats now.
Umar Akmal also deserves to be dropped for indiscipline. This is not his mohala team, where if his brother is dropped, he says he wont play. Umar is a great talent but if this kind of indiscipline on his part is allowed to continue just when he is starting his career, then this will be a huge issue for the team in the future. He should be dropped for a full series on the grounds of indiscipline and told exactly why he is out of the team, so he doesent behave like this in the future.
Umar Gul...has not done anything with the ball for over a year now. Bowling well in T20 is all nice, but he is supposed to be a test match bowler which he isent. To add to that, his spat with Aamer and his lack of performance....Gul should be playing domestic cricket for at least a few series.
In an ideal world, all these guys would be dropped, and the Under-19 boys who did well could be brought into the team....we are losing anyway so might as well lose with the under-19 boys...at least they will get better with time and dont play politics - they will try and improve and give 100% on the field which is what the fans want.
With the senile Ijaz Butt in charge though, I dont see any such bold moves happening.
