Honestly I feel this is true. But it's also true for about half the other batsmen picked. He definitely should've been in the squad.

Really really hope Misbah gets his maiden ODI hundred in the cup because it wouldn't be surprising if he retired from them when it's over.

Apparently he told the team he was going to retire after the WC and it's been leaked. He's pissed.

Of course it's been leaked. WTF was he expecting?

 

[smash84]

i thought he had announced (although in somewhat vague terms) that he will quit odis after the WC

 

[Niall]

Looking forward to seeing who replaces him. It won't be Afridi as he is chasing the t20 moolah so ODI series ruin that.

Wouldn't mind Fawad getting a go as he is young and has loads of captaincy experience, makes to much sense for the PCB though.

Smart money is on "all rounder" Indian bashing Malik.

 

[hendrix]

It might be someone like Shehzad.

 

[Daemon]

Hafeez would be the obvious one but you do have to question his usefulness to the side as a pure batsman.

 

[Dan]

Rahat in for Junaid.

 

[smash84]

should have opted for imran khan or sadaf hussain rather than sadaf hussain. Moin Khan is a complete **** head of a selector

 

[Nauq]

They picked up a terrible side but whatever they have now, I think This is how the team should look like.
1. Hafeez
2. Ahmed Shahzad
3. Haris Sohail
4. Misbah ul Haq
5. Umer Akmal
6. Sarfraz Ahmed
7. Afridi
8. Wahab Riaz
9. Muhammed Irfan
10. Rahat Ali
11. Ehsan Adil / Yasir Shah / Sohail Khan (Depending On Conditions).
This side so limited with no All Rounders. If Hazfeez could have bowled an extra batsman could have been adjusted. They should have picked up Malik.

 

[smash84]

Misbah just doesn't inspire any confidence in ODIs

Misbah unsure reinstated Ajmal will make World Cup ? The Express Tribune

 

[SeamUp]

Nasir Jamshed replaces Hafeez.

 

[Bouncer]

Last time we had this bad bowling line up....the year was 1946 & my country was called India.

 

[smash84]

wouldn't there be amar singh and m nissar at that time? It couldn't be this bad a bowling attack?

 

[faheemaltaf]

Pakistan's future cricket star, Sohaib Maqsood starts his journey by scoring 93 not out in today's world cup warm-up match.

 

[Nauq]

They did not telecast Pak vs Ban. But I think Sohaib Maqsood's 90+ should have him selected above Younis Khan. We need 5 bowlers for sure otherwise One extra batsman isn't doing anything anyway.

 

[Niall]

They won't drop Younis Khan so pointless to even speculate about it sadly.

Safaraz is in danger I think, Umar took the gloves today.

Wait...Did UA keep wickets while Sarfraz was in 11?

7 is too high for Afridi, especially with those 2 blokes ahead of him. As much as everyone hates Younis as an ODI player he is a must pick in this side.
