[Ronaldo7]

A decent squad. Has the capability to beat the bottom 4 teams (Ban, Sri lanka, Afg, pak/wi)

 

[Hasan123]

Chris Morris I thought was a shoe in. Why haven’t cricket South Africa explained that decision? Handscomb was unlucky but he was never going to be picked ahead of Smith which cricket Australia said the choice was between.

He hasn't played ODI cricket for a while now, can't bring him directly into the World Cup Squad when he has only been bowling 4 overs.

Add Umar Akmal to the bench

Chris Morris I thought was a shoe in. Why haven’t cricket South Africa explained that decision? Handscomb was unlucky but he was never going to be picked ahead of Smith which cricket Australia said the choice was between.

Because he is overrated? Has he ever performed out of IPL ? Andile & Pretorius have both easily outperformed him in international cricket.

 

[Hasan123]

He hasn't played ODI cricket for a while now, can't bring him directly into the World Cup Squad when he has only been bowling 4 overs.

He had been injured, but is a good death bowler and good lower order. If he wasn’t performing he could have been dropped in place of another seamer. SA have plenty of options.

Andile deserves to be there. Morris is a good lower order hitter and good death bowler. He never had a sustained run.

I know he was injured, but you can't bring a bowler so close to the WC in the squad who hasn't gained bowling rhythm of 50 over cricket. They can't wait for him to underperform to replace him, it's a big event and they have plenty of other options who are bowling well, also he was no star that can't be dropped.

 

[Majid Khan]

How about the following Pakistan Rejects XI V Pakistan's WC team?

1. Kamran Akmal (WK)
2. Ahmed Shezad
3. Shan Masood
4. Misbah ul Haq (captain)
5. Mohammed Rizwan
6. Umar Akmal
7. Kushdil Shah
8. Yasir Shah
9. Wahab Riaz
10. Mohammed Amir
11. Haris Rauf

I reckon Misbah's team would give a good contest against Pak team.

 

[BDfanforever]

International teams are not going to lose to bunch of rejects that easily. That squad will get blown away by both BD and Pak in Asian conditions, and by WI on foreign conditions.

WI matched toe to toe with a full strength Eng team, actually they were better than Eng recently. They will simply destroy these rejects.

I was actually pretty surprised to see wi perform so well against Eng. This further makes me think that eng isn't gonna win this time. Too mentally weak.

Yes, it will be an intersection world cup.

Fine X1. Nice picks and nice thread!

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

I am really surprised that some of these players like Dickwella, Hazlewood, Hendricks are not picked.

 

[Suleiman]

What is Amir going to do? Give away 92 runs per wicket taken, Shinwari should start over him, clearly.

 

[BDfanforever]

Poor Ambati Rayudu cant even get a start on the rejects xi. People picking on him for no reason. He has avg close to 50 but unfortunately for him he doesn’t have the swagger of Pandya, Shankar, or KL Rahul.

 

[hitthestump]

It's kind of hard to pick a Pakistan rejects XI due to the lack of middle order batsmen. No wonder we still depend on Malik. Also who would captain?!

Ahmed Shehzad
Shan Masood
Umar Akmal
Saad Ali
Mohammad Rizwan (WK)
Asif Ali
Aamer Yamin
Yasir Shah
Mohammad Amir
Rumman Raees
Usman Shinwari

Drop Anderson for AdV & Chris Lynn for Dickwella; and may be Akila in playing XI over Josh or Amir - this squad can even win this WC.

Can't include retired players, also I was more specifically talking about players who had a realistic chance of making it to the 15 Men Squad up until the last minute. Don't think Chris Lynn was ever in contention, but I totally agree with your choices and yes this team looks pretty competitive.
