Pakistan cricket is atleast a decade behind in terms of batting.

What if we try this combination?

Sharjeel
Nasir
Babar
Haris
Sarfraz
Akmal
Imad
Afridi
Tanvir
Amir
Junaid

Shahzaib
Maqsood
Kamran ghulam
Yamin
Ghulam mudassar?
 
Every now and then I see Nasir Jamshed's name in imaginary squads. Some people don't learn their lessons.

I'm sure many years down the line a lot of people will say how he was a "wasted talent" due to PCB's mismanagement (like Faisal Iqbal, Yasir Hameed etc.).
 
But i will choose
Shehzad
Sharjeel
Hafeez
Baber
Sarfraz(c)
Malik
U akmal
Imad
Amir
Junaid
Hasan

12. Akmal
13.usama mir
14. Mohammad irfan tall
15.haris sohail
I think this is tha best squad

Don't want to spoil your good spirit, but your squad is horrible in modern context - let me explain why -

1. There are 4 players in your starting XI, who won't pass Club level fitness standards - Nasir, Tanvir, Haris, Afrdi; probably you can add JK & Sharjeel as well. SK is not exposed in PAK team because Captain can hide him in a corner - if you have 5/6 like him, the Roshnai bahar aa jayega.

2. You have 2 left handed openers - which should not be, so Nasir out. May be Ahmed makes his case now, as he is in red hot form in only stage where he can show that now.

3. Your teams bowling option is 4 left arm bowlers backed by a fastish leggi (even if I take that Afridi is still bowling) - that strategy 'll be exposed by the Coaches in Dhaka League, who'll arrange special practice sessions for his hitters to hit balls angling away from them.

4. Your team has no bowling finisher - Amir goes for plenty in later overs, but still can manage one end, but if you are to bowl 6 of the last 10 with JK & Tannu - risking 125.

But, I understand you logic, fair enough.
 
Let's be realistic I think this should be the squad for ct:

Azhar Ali
Sharjeel Khan
Babar Azam
Hafeez
Sarfaraz (vc)
U Akmal
Imad Wasim
Aamer Yamin
Amir
Hassan Ali
Junaid Khan

Malik
Sohail Khan
Rizwan
