Central Punjab squad for for the 2021-22 domestic cricket season

[MenInG]

Central Punjab head coach Abdul Razzaq: “It will be an exciting challenge to coach Central Punjab after spending last year at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It was a great move to organise a camp of the top performers of the CCA tournament as it provided a fair and equal chance to all performers to display their skills and potential in front of coaches and it helped me in selecting promising players. I am confident that we have selected a squad that can outperform other sides in the season and I am eager to work on the skills of these players who can serve Pakistan in the future.”

Super excited for Shezzy to tear it up this season.

Umar Akmal is back!

Lets see what he does or if he does get a chance to play.

Pretty strong white ball batting setup this with the problem of plenty.

I really hope that Abdullah Shafiq and Qasim Akram will get regular opportunities in white ball cricket.

May be the T20 cup will be enough for a late surprise inclusion for Unar Akmal. in case of a injury to someone in original squad.
His big hitting is ideal.
