Pakistan ‘A’ squad announced for one 4-Day match against England Lions

Lahore- November 17, 2018: The National selection committee headed by Inzamam ul Haq has selected 13-member squad for Pakistan ‘A’ 4-Day match against England Lions starting from November 18 to 21, 2018 in Abu Dhabi. Pakistan ‘A’ will be playing a series of One- 4 day match, 5 One Day matches and 2 T-20s against England Lions in the UAE.

Pakistan 'A' 13-member squad

1. Khuram Manzoor
2. Shan Masood
3. Abid Ali
4. Usman Salahuddin
5. Muhammad Saad
6. Muhammad Rizwan ( C )
7. Saud Shakil
8. Muhammad Irfan ( LALS )
9. Ehsan Adil
10. Taj Wali
11. Sameen Gul
12. Ali Shafiq
13. Muhammad Asghar

Usman Salahuddin will replace Saad Ali from the 13-member squad earlier announced for Pakistan 'A' squad for One- 4 Day match against England Lions.

So Ali Shafiq and Asghar will carry drinks. And, Saud will play at 7 as an AR.

First 11 are the default playing 11.

 

[AliMurtaza]

Absurd decision to drop Usman Salahuddin for M Saad. Usman scored a century in last innings against NZ A. Don’t know what’s so special in M Saad with a career avg of 32.

It seems Saad Ali has been released from national team as he will play against England Lions. I have heard that Shaheen Shah has also been released from national side to play the A match. Strange not to see his name here.

Positive to see that likes of Rahat, Wahab, M Waqas, and Waqas Maqsood were not considered. Hopefully, it’s the end of road for them, especially Rahat and Wahab. The fast bowlers selected here are the best young lot other than the u19 talent such as Naseem Shah and M Musa.

 

[Brilliance]

Mohammad Saad again and no Zafar Gohar.

 

[Markhor]

Mohammad Saad is a complete waste of a selection.

Rizwan will probably comtinue with his selfish captaincy by batting himself above specialist batsmen like Saud Shakeel.

 

[b.lesner]

1. What is Mohammad Saad doing there he already has been failing in last 10 odd A matches

2. Droped Usman Salahuddin after scoring century against New Zealand in last Game

3. Lack of planning in A squad has led to downfall in senior side as Saud Shakeel should have been made Pakistan A captain for a year as he has future and Rizwan's future in senior side is minimum

Thankfully it turned out to be an error and Usman is indeed in the squad.

 

[AFM]

Danny Morrison mentioned that Shaheen Afridi is playing the A FC game

 

[asifp]

the man with the highest FC average in the history of Pakistan, where is he?

 

[ameemlutfi]

If Shaheen and Saad Ali do get to play the game. My team will be:

Shan Masood
Khurram Manzoor
Abid Ali
Saud Shakil
Saad Ali
Usman Salahuddin
Rizwan
Shaheen Afridi
Taj Wali/ Ehsan Adil
Mo. Irfan
Asghar

 

[nextover666666]

When will they announce the squad for the one day series and t20

 

[Ertugrul_Bey]

Khuram manzoor has no future in senior team so why waste time on him? Why not try youngsters instead?

 

[DRsohail]

Disgusting squad.Inzi has been awful every team selection.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

the man with the highest FC average in the history of Pakistan, where is he?

Inzi has mentioned several times that he doesn't like his batting technique. So he won't be there till Inzi is the selector.

 

[Zeeraq]

It doesn't make any sense to have players like Abid Ali, Khurram Manzoor and Muhammad Saad in Pakistan A, at least bowlers selection seems better then the last squad.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Pak A should play this and at this position

Shan M *
Abid A *
Muhammad S *
Saud S
Usman S
Saad A (play A game than warming bench )
Muhammad R (wk, c)
Ehsan A
Sameen G
Shaheen A (play A game than warming bench )
(Spinner)

* due to lack of options in the squad.

 

[angrypathan]

Who does Mohammad Saad have incriminating pictures of to keep getting selected on the back of no notable performances whatsoever?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good to see Ali shafiq, Saud Shakeel and Usman Salahuddin.

Wish there was space for Saad Ali.

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

So Ali Shafiq and Asghar will carry drinks. And, Saud will play at 7 as an AR.

First 11 are the default playing 11.

True khurram and shan flop in tests good for just odi and why to select saad poor cricketer

 

[hadi123]

Sami Aslam dropped not surprising though unfortunately as he has been woeful recently.

 

[BakuGM]

Why Khurram Manzoor, he has no chance of getting into the senior team. Its a waste of space, should have been given to someone who could have used this to gain international experience.

 

[Greenstorm]

Mohammad Saad has potential to be the next Hafeez

 

[Sadozai]

pathetic selection

 

[TeymurBlake]

So no Zafar Gohar again.

 

[AFM]

Ehsan Adil should never be selected again.
