International Coach
Right so since I was pipped to the task by Jarquis , I'll instead send down a few thoughts:
Without actually analysing BD's strengths and weaknesses I reckon a NAT squad makeup should be 7 batters, 2 keepers, 3 quicks, 3 spinners, 3 mediums (bowling types include all-rounders). This allows for a lot of variation for bowlers on different pitches, which I feel is really really important.
It's time for Zakir Adeel, no? A better all-round option now than Li or Ghani IMO – I'm actually really not sold on either of those two as NAT SOD prospects yet I'm afraid, for a couple seasons. Looks a quality bowler, if a bit iffy on flat dry pitches, and at a pinch a #7. Experience is very important that far down the order, but the Finisher trait should mostly balance that out. His experience isn't horrible anyhow.
By now Arshad Pasha should be an absolute gun. Him + Baloch is a pretty good spin attack, and on dry tracks it might just be a good idea to bring Lester in also (would Shum or Li be a better bet in the squad?). Don't know Mirza Uzair's stats atm but it looks like his NAT career is likely finished.
No batters over 44 skill. Looks like a tough, flat selection to make.
