My playing XI in case Hafeez fails the bowling test:


Azhar Ali
Mukhtar
Babar Azam
Shoaib Malik
Rizwan
Sarfaraz (WK)
Anwar Ali
Imad Wasim
Yasir
Rahat
Irfan

 

Azhar, Shehzad, Babar, Malik, Sarfraz, Mukhtar, Anwar, Yasir, Ehsan, Rahat, Irfan

 

First game is very important gotta take the lead my team

Shehzad Azhar B.Azam Malik Rizwan Sarfraz Mykjtar Anwar Yasir Rahat Irfan

 

It'd be kinda cool if we had a player named Mykjtar.

1. Ahmed Shahzad
2. Mukhtar Ahmed
3. Hafeez (still allowed to bowl)
4. Azhar Ali (C)
5. Asad Shafiq
6. Shoaib Malik
7. Sarfraz
8. Ehsan Adil / Anwar Ali
9. Yasir Shah
10. Rahat Ali
11. Irfan

 

My preferred XI from the squad:

Ahmed Shehzad, Azhar Ali, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Rizwan, Sarfraz Ahmed, Mukhtar Ahmed, Yasir Shah, Ehsan Adil, Rahat Ali, Mohammad Irfan

What we're going to get:

Ahmed Shehzad, Azhar Ali, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Asad Shafiq, Babar Azam, Sarfraz Ahmed, Anwar Ali, Yasir Shah, Rahat Ali, Mohammad Irfan

Wow this squad has such low depth in bowlers and batsmen...I don't know how that's possible.

 

Ahmed,Azhar,Hafeez,Malik, Shafiq,Azam,Rizwan, Sarfraz, Yasir, Rahat, Irfan

 

Mukhtar Ahmed
Azhar Ali ( c )
Mohammad Hafeez
Babar Azam
Shoaib Malik
Sarfraz Ahmed ( wk )
Bilal Asif
Ehsan Adil
Yasir Shah
Rahat Ali
Mohammad Irfan

 

wow the pace attack is incredibly weak

Irfan.. coming back from an injury
Rahat .. nothing special in odis
Anwar Ali .. same as rahat.. not even a wicket taker
Ehsan Adil .. he is another robot.

Should have included at least gul if no one else was available or sohail Tanvir.. and what happened to that Sohail Khan

This has to be the weakest pace attack we had in ages.. like Anwar Ali and Ehsan are not even good enough for teams like Bangladesh.. really weird to see them prefered over Hammad.

 

bowling kon karwaye ga?

 

Shoaib Malik - that's enough!!

 

Wow. While test series are being played I always forget how wack our odi side is.

 

Yes we have!

We have played 12 matches in which lost 9 won 3!

 

Has Hafeez had his bowling test done?

 

Hammad deserved to be in there ahead of Anwar Ali. Anwar really is one lucky guy to keep getting picked despite getting spanked nearly every time he plays.

 

Yes, Mohammad Hafeez had undergo an official test on his bowling action on July 6 in Chennai! Results will be sent to ICC and PCB during next week

 

Good to see you back posting!

 

Better allow Sarfraz Ahmed to open with Azhar Ali. That will give chance to Bilal to show his talent down the order.

 

Azhar Ali, Sarfraz Ahmed, Babar Azam, Muhammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Rizwan, Mukhtar Ahmed, Ehsan Adil/Anwar Ali, Yasir Shah, Muhammad Irfan, Rahat Ali
