Umar Akmal can be given another chance

He was playing t10 league with club level cricketers in Europe just a month ago.

So he is match ready.thats another plus point for including him in the team

As the batting order ends up being fluid outside the top 3/4, I would like a template of

2 explosive openers(Farhan and probably Fakhar)
3 babar
4 open spot
5 Rizwan (WK)
6 open spot

For the open spots, I would look at Haider Ali, Irfan Khan and Kamran Ghulam- I think that they can score quickly and with Babar and Rizzy there as insurance, it would give the flexibility to the side.

But he's a opener.

Has played in middle also in PSL. Similar to Nawaz who is also an opener but is pretty good in middle (Except bad asia cup, where most batters failed).

Babar as a wicket-keeper would surely be a disaster.

Babar’s fielding is below par, and when it comes to spin, it’s hard to decide what would be weaker, his keeping or his batting.
