This Pakistan Cup will be very important as, in a way, it is a trial for the CT as the best players will surely be considered to come to England.
There will be chances for many players to get into the reckoning so what players do you think could be selected based on good performances? I'll start
Openers: Akmal and Shehzad weren't convincing so the below could come in:
Sami Aslam (Federal) - we all initally thought he was an ODI player until he dominated England in tests, if he does well he will be considered
Hussain Talat (Federal) - haven't seen him but some people say he can open
Zain Abbas (Sindh) - he's played before for Pakistan A
Salman Butt (Punjab) - no one on here wants him but if he does good...
Fakhar Zaman (Balochistan) - didn't get a game in WI
Imam-ul-Haq (Balochistan) - was doing good in emerging cup
Imran Butt (KP) - he's young and has started well
Middle order batsman:
Mohammad Rizwan - found form in ACC u23 cup
Asif Zakir - didn't get a game in WI
Fawad Alam - unlikely seeing as there seems to be something against him
Umar Amin - may have improved recently
Abdul Rehman Muzamil - good stats
Umar Akmal - captain, will have responsibility
Sohaib Maqsood - I rated him before injury
Saad Ali - heard good things about him
Haris Sohail - he was amazing, hope his injury hasn't had an impact
All rounders:
Anwar Ali - can be a good slogger at the death
Aamer Yamin - should never have been dropped
Mohammad Nawaz
Fahim Ashraf - didn't play vs WI
Hammad Azam - was good in u23 cup
Agha Salman - has good stats
Bowlers:
Sohail Khan - he should not have been dropped
Sameen Gul - maybe too young but he's talented, we've seen how Shadab has done
Rumman Raees - good variations
Usama Mir
Mir Hamza
Usman Shinwari
Overall, there are a lot of good talented players who can make the squad, only weakness is openers because most of them aren't aggressive, Sharjeel-like openers apart from maybe Zaman and Talat. I will especially be keeping my eye out for the named players. Anyone I have missed that you feel could be considered?
