I think we should invest in Usman QAdir. I have been a huge fan. The rest of it should be Afridi, Hassan, Raif, Hasnain, Naseem Shah (maybe)
Ideally a couple more spinners? Thoughts?
 
In typical Pakistan fashion Pakistan will find their best 11 when it's too late in the tournament, lost matches and have virtually little to no chance of making it to the knockouts. So need to sweat over it now

Qadir,zahid Mehmood,nawaz,shadab,imad,fasial akram

Fast bowlers
Shaheen,hassan,husnain,rauf,akif javed
 
Watch new bowlers being introduced as TALENT in every series and then all get rejected and same old guys getting the nod for world cup
 
Usman Qadir looks good. The googly reminds me of his Dad.
 
The tournament will be in India so we will need 3 spinners available to us.

At this point i can imagine it looking something like this:

Imam
Fakhar
Babar
Rizwan
???
???
Nawaz (spin)
Faheem (pace)
Hassan (pace)
Shaheen (pace)
Qadir (spin)

Positions 5/6 could well include someone like Haris Sohail who can bowl or maybe we'll still need Malik/Hafeez to rescue us even then :)) in which case we have spin from them too.

We need a genuine spinner if we want to do well in Indian conditions.

Last time in 2011 wc. Pak qualified for semis easily
 
Well. Pakistan should address the bogeyman first. Whatever bowling line up you choose, you can not compete with India in world cup on professional level and will lose due to weak mentality towards the game thus succumbing under the pressure. The mental aspect should come before others and it will take years to build one. Pakistan should start this or else, it'll find itself in losing side again.

Or hope, India gets kicked out before facing them.

We need to groom haider ali for one of those slots in the middle. And we need to find another batter maybe saud Shakeel or even better if we can get someone who can be a part time spinner.

We do seem to be developing a good nucleus of our bowling attack and the names you mentioned would probably be the main guys. It’s the part timers we need, ideally two of them. Someone should get imam to get some bowling experience too...
 
Haris + Hafeez + Imad (part-timers for 15 to 20 overs)
Qadir/Nawaz (Specialist spinner for 10 overs)
Hasan + Rauf + Shaheen (pacers for 20 to 25 overs)
