So-called 'technically-sound' player, with people suggesting that he will be our best batsman outside Asia etc.
He is a total flop and really is incapable in pressure situations.
Plus, we really do need an all-rounder. Even with the current squad, I'd even play freaking Nawaz in Australia, because 4 bowlers simply isn't enough - especially if you have Sohail "huffing puffing" Khan as one of them. Our bowlers really start to look toothless in a 4-man attack, and a 5th bowler is an absolute MUST.
So to make way for the 5th bowler, one of Shafiq/Babar will have to go (considering saint Younis is undroppable at least for now), and after Babar's knock in the last Test, dropping him would be criminal.
All in all, Shafiq should get the chop (though he should still remain in the squad).
Thoughts?
