Couldn't find one for tomorrow's game, in case there is one Mods can you merge it.

So what be the line up? Any changes personally i would like to see Husnain given a go instead of Amir. What about Imam will he be available or will we see Abid get a go?

 

[nextover666666]

Need to give everyone a game atleast it's a short series against a weak Sri Lanka side need to see what they others can do

I would like to see Hasnain - Abid Ali - Rizwan and nawaz come in but I know if they make a change it will be one change most likely bringing in Hasnain

 

[Khan12]

Ideally everyone should get a go but, i doubt that will happen, hence i went with Husnanin for Amir.

Well yesterday Saffy said in his press conference that everybody in the squad will get a go i have feeling all four guys will be playing tomorrow

 

[Titan24]

There could have been many changes if first match would have happened and if Pak would have been 2-0 up but now I am not sure team management would want to take too much risk as their main priority would be to win.

If that is happening then its good as team management have confidence that those guys can also step up if needed.

If true that's great then, wonder where rizwan will play if selected.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bring in Abid Ali for Imam, Rizwan for Sarfraz, Asif for Iftikhar or even Haris as Ifti played a cameo last game, Nawaz for Shadab, Hasnain for Amir.

That way all the others get a game too that too in Pakistan.

 

[Rayyman]

Abid and Rizwan in for Imam and Babar

Abid
Fakhar
Rizwan
Haris

 

[Omer2002]

imam hurt his hand..so i am sure Abid Ali will play...Saffy wont be dropped...the rest i hope change too

 

[hadi123]

We can't get too complacent. There's still a series to be won. We shouldn't make changes for the sake of it.

I would rest Imam as I heard he hurt his hand (?) and bring in Abid Ali.


Give Hasnain a game instead of Amir, we all know Amir doesn't care about bilaterals. Selfish player. Other than that we have to keep the team the same, it's not a dead rubber so we can't give EVERYONE a chance

 

[Pakhs]

Going forward they need atleast one right armer pacer for variety and if shadab continues to fail and genuine spinner.

 

[Justcrazy]

Nawaz and Abid Ali should be given a go.

 

[shah_1]

Imam-Abid Ali
Babar-Rizwan
Imad Wasim-Nawaz
Wahab Riaz- Hasnain

 

[Abdullah719]

If that is happening then its good as team management have confidence that those guys can also step up if needed.

Sarfraz is not only lacklustre as a captain, he's also a bad fit in terms of team combination. He puts himself in to bat too low down the order and his power-hitting ability is mediocre. Remove him, Rizwan @ 4, bring in a power-hitter as replacement lower down the order

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan can try out some of the bench players. This SL team is incredibly weak.
