7. Imad
8. Sarfraz (c + wk) - unfortunately named as captain, when Imad should have taken over
9. Hasan Ali
10. Amir
11. Shaheen

Hafeez and Haris can combine to bowl a total of 10 overs between them.

12. Abid Ali

[SarfiBabarHaris]

So Pakistan Cup is concluded now, below is my WC squad. There are 2 positions i am still unsure. There are some players like Saud Shakeel and Umer Khan who i want in the squad but realistically they have no chance so no point including them .

My squad (realistic):

Fakhar
Abid
Imam
Babar
Haris
Hafeez/Malik
Asif/Khushdil/Umar
Sarfraz(c+wk)
Imad
Shadab
Faheem
Hasan
Shaheen
Haris Rauf
Hasnain

I know some might say that there is no realistic chance for Haris and Khushdil but considering they are not in the list of 23 probables but i believe after having a good Pakistan Cup they might come under the reckoning if our selectors bothered to watch the tournament.

This is the most likely squad IMO, I'm being realistic here. Shoaib Malik is definitely going to play. I've accepted the fact that Amir and Faheem will go, even though they definitely do not deserve it, I'm just hoping they warm the bench

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Will be interesting to see who gets dropped due to the fitness test.

Too early too call but:

1. Fakhar Zaman
2. Sahibzada Farhan

5. Shoaib Malik

12. Hasan Ali
13. Shaheen Shah Afridi
14. Raees / Junaid / Shinwari / Abbas / Mudassar / any other upcoming pacer
15. Azhar (?)

You added SSA ONE YEAR before his odi debut.
Talk about accuracy.

Shan Masood is definitely going, probably in place of Abid Ali.

Remove Abid and insert Shan and we have our World Cup squad

Better than Malik and Hafeez but needs to work extra hard on fitness if given the opportunity.

perfect 15 - can at least get to the Final. No guarantees what happens in the final, but this team will definitely get us there!

 

[ilsbird]

My final 15 from the 23 players in the pool selected based on form would be

1. Fakhar Zaman
2. Abid Ali
3. Babar Azam
4. Haris Sohail
5. Mohammed Hafeez
6. Asif Ali
7. Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk)
8. Shadab Khan
9. Faheem Ashraf
10. Shaheen Afridi
11. Hasan Ali
12. Imam ul Haq
13. Imad Wasim
14. Junaid Khan
15. M.Rizwan

I would not select Malik, Amir as they have shown no real performance recently. Even though I would have liked Umar Akmal and Ifthikhar Ahmed in the squad for his part time bowling option too but based on the 23, this is the best I feel that can give us a chance to do well.

Prepare to be disappointed tomorrow

13. Haris Sohail

15. Saad Nasim

 

[NauV]

1. Fakhar
2. Imam
3. Shan (Can't pick Abid in the world cup based on 1 game, but I'll have him in my 17). Picking Shan because I think he is a much improved player. Domestic performances ofcourse. He looked good in 3 of the 5 games against Aus (even though he didn't really get a big score in) .. and then fielding (and fitness) wise, he brings a lot of value to the team

4. Babar
5. Haris
6. Malik
7. Hafeez

8. Sarfaraz

9. Faheem
10. Imad
11. Shadab

12. Hasan
13. Shaheen
14. Amir
15. Junaid

16. Asif Ali
17. Abid Ali

They are taking 17 to England. I wish both Asif Ali and Abid Ali get games and push for selection if they play welll . .

Yes with his two runs and 0-60 contributions

 

[Chokli]

Yes with his two runs and 0-60 contributions

Every bowler gets hit but that doesn't mean he went for 0-60 every single match.

If you actually watched him play you'd know what a valuable asset he really was.

You people want Asif Ali in at 7 who doesn't even bowl and isn't even half as good as Afridi with the bat.
