^^ Ehsan Bhai..i'll take misbah out and play that U19 guy as regular batsman in T20....I am sure he would do better than Misbah and has much more of back bone than misbah to sustain and perform under pressure!
Chandarpaul is one amazing cricketr…i will take him over butt any day…comparing Salman to Shev is like comparing Danny Morrison to Javed Miandad

Yes I thought about it but than we need experience in the middle and to thrust this guy straight into such a big tournament might not be fair on him.
Butt was the highest run getter in Australian tour. I like the fact that he values his wicket more than other openers. I would keep him so that wickets don't fall from both ends.
Misbah could win a match single handedly. Unfortunately he is not in a good form and the selectors are oblivious of it.
They should be grooming the new wicketkeeper Sarfraz. He is a very ordinary batsman and keeper at the moment. I guess they are just hoping that Moin Khan or Rashid Lateef will fall in their lap again.
Yasir Arafat..again, very ordinary talent. U19 boy should definitely get a chance. He is a good allrounder.
Fawad Alam's footwork is a mess but he has shown mental toughness during pressure situations. I would keep him.
Razzaq ia not leadership material but he should be given a chance based on his experience over Butt.

Misbah's experience Injection was given to the team both in NZ and AUS and has proven that it has no effect in it....I would ruthar show faith in new guy and even if he fails...at least there is a chance that he will learn something from it...which is not going to happen in Misbah's case.
Sad thing is I am 100% sure that whoever captain is will play Misbah just so that "doing favors to people who might be able to scratch your back in near future" continues!
Misbah could win a match single handedly. Unfortunately he is not in a good form and the selectors are oblivious of it.
Tell me ONE GAME that misbah won from a pressue situation for Pak...single handedly!
Misbah and Match winner should not be used in one sentense.
Chandarpaul is one amazing cricketr...i will take him over butt any day...comparing Salman to Shev is like comparing Danny Morrison to Javed Miandad
I don't know why people make clueless comparisons, Butt and Chandu are league apart.

Rashid Latif was not a good batsman either, atleast not something like Moin. Sarfraz may become Rashid Latif.
Personally I would include Misbah in the side just in case we need someone to hold one end in case there is a collapse. That is what Mohsin Khan also said so I agree with him. However I don't agree with him supporting Butt for the same reason. Playing with Butt in the side and dropping someone like Fawad Alam would be a big mistake. Now since the team has been announced my playing 11 will be
Kamran Akmal
Hafeez
Afridi
Umar Akmal
Misbah
Razzaq
Fawad Alam
Hammad Azam
Aamer
Ajmal
Asif
Tricky situation will be with the fast bowlers. Pakistan cannot afford to play Asif, Gul, and Ammer together. Ajmal is a must in T20 and thus playing with these 4 specialist bowlers means that the batting have to become weak. With Gul's recent form I would prefer Asif over him.
Chaderpaul is one of the most reliable batsman for any team and lethal batsman for any opposition in any format of the game off late.
I would rather have Chanderpaul playing for a 10 member Pakistan team than a 11 member Pakistan team featuring Butt and Farhat.
