Fahim is unlucky to miss out. Imad is good t20 bowler. Can't leave him out in this format.

You want to open with Hafeez than dynamic Shehzad?

 

[another drop catch]

is Mohd Amir fully fit ? ? ?

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Should rest Hasan Ali / Amir / Sarfaraz etc.

Play with new players

 

[hadi123]

This would be my team.

1) Fakhar Zaman
2) Ahmed Shehzad - has to play after that innings against World XI, sigh
3) Babar Azam
4) Sarfaraz Ahmed (C) (WK) - only useful if he bats here
5) Mohammad Hafeez - may as well make use of his bowling now as his test is soon
6) Shoaib Malik
7) Shadab Khan
8) Imad Wasim - great T20 player
9) Mohammad Amir - hopefully he's fit, he hasn't played a T20I for Pakistan for ages
10) Hasan Ali
11) Usman Khan

If Raees wasn't injured it would be a (good) selection dilemma.

 

[Shinwari Khan]

1. Ahmed Shehzad (Great potential)
2. Fakhar Zaman
3. Babar Azam
4. Sarfraz Ahmed (Needs promotion)
5. Shoaib Malik
6. Imad Wasim
7. Shadab Khan
8. Aamer Yameen
9. Mohammed Aamer
10. Hasan Ali
11. Usman Khan (Definate choice)

*This is a T20 match so we don’t need a super long batting line up. All we need is good hitters which my XI is full of

P.S. Debutant post

 

[Sirris]

Guys, who else is glad that Imam ul haq isn't in the squad anymore? Now we can look forward to Shehzad opening the innings.

No one? Can't be!

A player who made his debut 9 years ago is picked on potential?

 

[pkwdpassion]

Who I wish should play XI

Fakhar Zaman
yamin
Babar
Fahim
Sarfraz
Shadab
Amir
Hasan
Usman
Nawaz
Hafeez

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

our t20 batting lineup is an absolute mess

filled with nudgers

Fortunately we don't have a t20 wc anytime soon

I just want to see guys like Amin and Faheem get a go

Ahmed Shezad great potential? What about him in his first 8 years of INT cricket?

 

[Shinwari Khan]

I believe Ahmed has great potential to perform in the next T20 if he gets selected. We’ve seen him disappointed and sad over his drop in the squad. I think he will look back at it and improve. Don’t forget he is an natural experienced opener. I think he will score a blistering knock of 70*+ off a strike rate of 160+. Just like he has in the PSL and HBL on countless occasions.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

probably

we can always hope that the Amin gets a go.
I dont expect much of him in t20s but i think everyone is just done with Shezhad, an absolute coward. Its really telling that Azhar Ali has abetter strike rate then him


However the worst thing that could happen is Professor opening.

He will probably bash what will basically be a Sri Lanka C side and we will be stuck with him for another year

 

[Sherlock]

Wouldn't be surprised if Faheem Ashraf plays on Thursday. Think he could replace Raees in the starting XI.

The last sentence of your post has me in doubt. I am not sure if it's meant to be serious or sarcastic.

 

[Boi]

On what basis did Hafeez get back in to the T20 squad? He's been poor in this format for a long time. His performances in PSL and CPL were nothing to shout about either. Hope he does not play.

 

[Plumb]

I just hope to change the mindset of the management for t20s. Sides like Zim/SL(for now) or any weaker opposition. I would even take chance against strong oppositions. We should let the youngsters play the t20 format. This 'll give them a chance to show their talent on t20 format. But again we selecting 30+ olds for t20 format I mean comon now...

He has experience; you can't ask for more.

Let's ask Inzi's biggest fans, maybe they have a way of justifying this spectacular decision

[Sirris]

Exactly, he has all sorts of experience. Not the least a valuable experience in taking ICC bowling action test and clearing them.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Shehzad will play the 1st T20 but if he fails I would go with this team.

Fakhar
Fahim
Babar
Hafeez
Sarfraz
Malik
Imad
Shadab
Hassan
Usman/Rumman
Amir
