I believe Pakistan must have an all-rounder at number 8 in this World Cup. Whenever we have been successful in ICC tournaments we have batted deep.
1992 World Cup: Ijaz Ahmed at 8 and Moin Khan at 9
2009 T20 World Cup: Fawad Alam at number 8
2017 Champions Trophy: Shadab at number 8
I see a lot of people posting teams with 4 specialist bowlers. This will not work for Pakistan. We have Ifti and Saim who can bowl some over so we don't need that many bowlers.
I think no matter what Imad should be at 8 and then bowlers like Shaheen etc. can come after him. Even if the number 8 doesn't bat all the time it frees up players on top knowing there are other batters after them.
