Never going to happen, our senior players are the most insecure and they feel their only chance of scoring enough runs to sustain their career is in Ireland. When Arthur rested Hafeez and sent back Malik in New Zealand it culminated into Hafeez protesting and sitting out rest of the match and T20 series.
They also fed media with anti-Arthur, anti-Sarfaraz banter to make the team management controversial.
It had negative effect on other young players like Hasan Ali , his performance and discipline suffered.
Our so-called players feel playing for Pakistan is an entitlement not a privelege. Hope Mickey Arthur changes this pathetic atmosphere and does the changes. No one should feel team depends on them.
Playing these Shafiq like hacks has destroyed the batting lineup as well as culture of Pakistan. Pakistani youth can't identify with any batsman in the team as not one has performed.
If Arthur does play Saad Ali or Usman in the middle order with Fakhar opening it will be tough but great decision and another contribution by Arthur to improve the dressing room culture.
