PCB names 18 players for training camp ahead of Asia Cup

[Hasan123]

I heard that Hafeez might get cut from the final squad

Lol there's always talk of this yet nothing happens. He was supposed to be retiring due to the central contract issue and he's still here.

Some articles and reports are just made for hits and clicks. I hope this report is accurate.

Amir should be rested for Asia Cup. Even if he takes 5-fers against them, it would be useless in longer run.

Nawaz should be preferred among spin options apart from obvious Shahdab. We cant afford both Asif and Faheem in single squad now. This is not Zimbabwe. Hafeez had an ok run against India so he must replace Asif in 11. Rest depends on kind of tracks in UAE. For spinning ones Faheem can be replaced with Imad otherwise Faheem is good.

Expected IX:
Imam Ul Haq
Fakhar Zaman
Babar Azam
Shoaib Malik / Hafeez
Sarfaraz Ahmed
Nawaz / Faheem
Shahdab
Hasan Ali
Usman Shinwari
Shaheen Shah
Junaid Khan

Shan wu be selected on merit. Hafeez will not.

I know which poison I'd pick.

Besides, even though Hafeez's bowling will actually be useful in the Asia Cup, he'll proceed to get banned right before the WC and we'll be back to square one.

Thanks God imad failed it. Hopefully it makes it easier for Shaheen to get picked.

 

[mak36]

Imad failed fitness test
Hafeez didn't take it

Wait, why didn't he take it?

Not sure how true that is as otherwise they would have just excluded him from this camp, right?

Good to see Sarfaraz leading from the front (scoring 18.2 or 18.4 depending on which report you read).

Hassan smashed it out of the park.

Imad has been put to shame.

Would be interested to hear Asif Ali does- he seems to have a Fakhar Zaman work ethic.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Any news on Shaheen?

Bro this is what i read:
A total of 16 players passed the test except Imad who managed 17.2 points, Hafeez will give his test tomorrow. So yes if this source is correct.

haha saw a recent interview of Sarfi where the interviewer came to his home for interview. Sarfraz offered him biryani (if i am not mistaken) and the interviewer said no thanks and said you (Sarfraz) should eat it to which Sarfraz said bhai fitness test honay wala hai, Mickey Arthur lai ga fitness test

[coy0607]

Per the sports show on ARY, Hafeez had a family emergency

Both Hafeez and Imad scheduled to take it tomorrow. It'll be the second try for Imad

They don't usually announce the scores officially so we'll have to go with the rumours/reports probably.

maybe pcb will act more professional with coming

 

[Kashmiri_Pak_fan]

Reportedly pcb asked Acc permission for two extra players besides 15 to be included in pak squad.

 

[bilawal666]

When is the PCB going to announce the squad?

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Reportedly pcb asked Acc permission for two extra players besides 15 to be included in pak squad.

Both BCB and SLC have named 16 man squads. So I think it will be fine.

 

[Ellipsism]

Apparently Imad failed the fitness test on his second attempt as well. )

Maddy is in love with his shape doesn’t want to change
