[arehaan]

No Hassan Khan.

On the plus side good to see no Zulfiqar Babar meaning Asghar will be taking the 2nd spinner slot in Test.

Shan Masood seriously and where is Aamir Yamin????

 

[JibranAnsari]

so we will again see hafeez in odis, when are we going to get rid of him.

 

[JibranAnsari]

No Hassan Khan.

On the plus side good to see no Zulfiqar Babar meaning Asghar will be taking the 2nd spinner slot in Test.

Shan Masood seriously and where is Aamir Yamin????

from what i have seen hassaan khan isnt anything special, he is just another lefr armer.

 

[Shafi]

Inzamam really loose when it comes for national team selection.

So Azhar, Hafeez, Yasir, Nawaz, Tanvir, Shan Masood, Rahat for T20 and ODI.

And he talks about including new blood????? Really disappointing

 

[saeed5646]

so we will again see hafeez in odis, when are we going to get rid of him.

in odis is still some how ok due to his better bowling and batting than nawaz but get ready he will be picked

for t20 as well

 

[arehaan]

from what i have seen hassaan khan isnt anything special, he is just another lefr armer.

He still deserves to be called up in the senior camp ahead of Nawaz and a few others. Not saying he should be picked for final squad but surely deserved a spot in top 31

 

[saeed5646]

Positive from this squad is

Anwar ali,iftikhar ,saad nasim(who was part of t20 squad in last series) is not in the 31 players list

Negative is Rahat ali,sohail tanvir ,Hafeez is still part of squad and ameer yamin is not in the list

Other wise squad is decent

 

[arehaan]

Inzamam really loose when it comes for national team selection.

So Azhar, Hafeez, Yasir, Nawaz, Tanvir, Shan Masood, Rahat for T20 and ODI.

And he talks about including new blood????? Really disappointing

Azhar, Yasir, Shan Masood, Rahat are in there for the test squad. Cant understand the logic behind Hafeez, Nawaz and Tanvir selection. Its time we moved on from Hafeez surely

 

[saeed5646]

I hope Shinwari,zaman and shadab khan is picked for t20 series

 

[saeed5646]

Azhar, Yasir, Shan Masood, Rahat are in there for the test squad. Cant understand the logic behind Hafeez, Nawaz and Tanvir selection. Its time we moved on from Hafeez surely

The camp is being organized for T-20 and ODI matches, whereas the camp for the Test team will be announced later.

 

[Pakpak]

Hafeez and Shan Masood.

My God.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

No shazaib is sad to see as is no Hammad , yamin .

Shocking to see sohail sobers

Don't know what Ashraf or Zakir are doing there either

Shan still 'benefiting'

 

[silent ischemia]

The camp is being organized for T-20 and ODI matches, whereas the camp for the Test team will be announced later.

Then what are Asif Zakir, Yasir Shah, Shan Masood and Rahat Ali doing in the camp

 

[saeed5646]

So best wicket keeper we have 24 year old "Rizwan" is dropped for worse wicket keeper 35 year old Kamran

akmal.Inzi is so disappointing he should have presisted with rizwan in odis and kamran should only be in

T20 squad ,this is your reward Rizwan for extra ordinary keeping in AUS

 

[Sarfarazian92]

I've heard Amir will be dropped from the T20 squad.

 

[saeed5646]

Then what are Asif Zakir, Yasir Shah, Shan Masood and Rahat Ali doing in the camp

Yasir shah Senior quota .Asif zakir will not get picked .SHan masood have score heavily in list A games in

domestic.For rahat ali i just lost my word no idea

 

[silent ischemia]

He was very ordinary with the bat. Even Aamir was better

 

[Shafi]

Looks like 3 of Hafeez, Shehzad, Shan, Fakhar, Azhar and Kamran will be taken. So my bet are Azhar/Kamran, Shan and Shehzad will be out.
Asif Zakir is too old to debut and Rahat is no LOI material. Azhar needs to be kicked out as well

 

[Madplayer]

Haris sohail?

 

[Red Devil]

Can't believe Aamer Yamin was ignored. He's exactly the kind of player the team needs.

 

[Red Devil]

Shan and Rahat are probably Mickey's picks, he rates both of them.

 

[Anis10]

Good to see Saad Ali

I hope he makes it on the tour

 

[saeed5646]

I've heard Amir will be dropped from the T20 squad.

he should be dropped from t20s so he can focus on test and odis

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wow, this must be the greatest ever sqaud in terms of selected TTFS! well done inzi!

Pakistan cricket 1 step forward, 10 steps backwards!

 

[ask_analyse_act]

No Hassan Khan.

On the plus side good to see no Zulfiqar Babar meaning Asghar will be taking the 2nd spinner slot in Test.

Shan Masood seriously and where is Aamir Yamin????

This camp is for LOIs and for tests it will be announced later...

Shan Masood was taken for his knock of 100 in the final of the domestic one day series which finished recently just before psl...

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Haris sohail?

i think he will be back only after a proper domestic season which is good for his fitness is concerned in the long run...

 

[Syed1]

[MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION], I guess the revolution was short-lived buddy

 

[MustafaSk]

When this bias against M.Sami will stop didn't expected this that he will not even feature in 31 players I was going to celebrate his selection in National team for limited overs atleast......M.Sami mistake is that he is from Karachi and a honest sportsman.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

from what i have seen hassaan khan isnt anything special, he is just another lefr armer.

but he should have taken the place instead of one of any oldie TTF..

 

[Syed1]

from what i have seen hassaan khan isnt anything special, he is just another lefr armer.

It's too early to write off an 18 year old. He has talent and potential and can easily be better than Imad with both bat and bowl in a couple of years time. Atleast he turns the ball.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

When this bias against M.Sami will stop didn't expected this that he will not even feature in 31 players I was going to celebrate his selection in National team for limited overs atleast......M.Sami mistake is that he is from Karachi and a honest sportsman.

also a trundler.. he is not a int'l material... hit him for three 4s continuously, then he is done for the match.. he bowls pace, pace, pace at the same place even if he gets hit for 4s three times...he is decoded in int'l level and done forever..

 

[Brilliance]

God, we aren't getting rid of TTF's. I seriously hope for the benefit of Pakistan cricket that Hafeez , Tanvir, Shehzad, Zakir aren't picked. Also Kamran shouldn't be in ODI squad.

 

[Brilliance]

I think Hafeez will make it into the ODI team as an off spin all-rounder and will play down the order like in PSL.

 

[Shabraz]

Thank God Asad Shafique d master blaster z not in the list

 

[Syed1]

Thank God Asad Shafique d master blaster z not in the list

Neither is Anwar Ali.


but but but I thought Sarfaraz will play his besties and run the team into the ground


[MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION]

 

[run-out]

How long ll it take on sharjeel's case?

 

[Brilliance]

From this lot my team for T20s will be :.

1 Fakhar.
2 Kamran.
3 Babar.
4 Malik.
5 Sarfaraz.
6 Umar A.
7 Shadab.
8 Imad.
9 Sohail K.
10 Hassan.
11 Rumman.

12 Amad
13 Shenwari.
14 Tallat.
15 Usama.

For ODIs.

1 Fakhar.
2 Tallat.
3 Babar.
4 Saad.
5 Malik.
6 Sarfaraz.
7 Shadab.
8 Imad.
9 Amir.
10 Hassan.
11 Wahab.

12 Fahim.
13 Shenwari.
14 Asghar.
15 Sohail.

 

[Markhor]

[MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION], I guess the revolution was short-lived buddy

This is only a list of names for a training camp. I highly doubt the likes of Shan Masood and Rahat Ali will make it to the final squad.

There's still some excellent young picks like Hussain Talat, Shadab Khan, Usama Mir and Saad Ali. Those with good domestic records like Mohammad Abbas (whose selection you called for) and Asif Zakir have been rewarded.

Plus there's an attempt to groom young pace bowling ARs like Amad Butt and Fahim Ashraf.

Yes there's a few TTFs but that's to be expected with most Pakistan squads, no squad can be perfect.

 

[Syed1]

For ODIs.

1 Fakhar.
2 Tallat.
3 Babar.
4 Saad.
5 Malik.
6 Sarfaraz.
7 Shadab.
8 Imad.
9 Amir.
10 Hassan.
11 Wahab.

12 Fahim.
13 Shenwari.
14 Asghar.
15 Sohail.

Don't really care about T20s other than tournaments, but this ODI squad has a couple of problems.


1. Talat is not an opener
2. Malik has been misfiring for a while and I have a feeling that if he has a bad WI tour he will be dropped
3. Sarfaraz is not a number six batsman, he struggles to slog and come in and score a cameo of 30(15)
4. Wahab's worst format is ODIs

Good points... we will come back to this discussion once the final squad is announced.

 

[StreetSmart]

No Hassan Khan.

On the plus side good to see no Zulfiqar Babar meaning Asghar will be taking the 2nd spinner slot in Test.

Shan Masood seriously and where is Aamir Yamin????

I think the reason here is we have Hafeez, Asghar, Shadab, Nawaz, Imad, and Yasir are already spinners

I know this squad isn't perfect. But this is the best ODI squad from the given lot. Maybe Sohail Khan or Shenwari in place of Wahab will do.

Ideally I would have had,

1 Sharjeel ( hope he isn't guilty).
2 Tallat.
3 Babar.
4 Saad.
5 Sarfaraz.
6 Khushdil ( surely better than what we saw)
7 Shadab.
8 Imad.
9 Sohail.
10 Amir.
11 Hassan.

Could have been a tremendous team

 

[in_cutter]

Inzi the revolutionary lol

 

[ask_analyse_act]

I hope hafeez, shehzad and UA are not selected for ODIs.

All of them just waste a spot in the batting lineup. If they are selected again then pak is no way going forward.

Should stop wasting time on them and give chances to players like Hussain talat, shadab, zaman, Mir, saad Ali and usman salahuddin. This tour is the best time to tryout youngster beauties.

 

[Syed1]

Just noticed Usman Salahuddin isn't in the 31 man squad

 

[ask_analyse_act]

From the list above. Below is my squads for LOIs

T20:

Kamran
Zaman
Babar
Talat
Malik
Sarfraz
Shadab
Imad
Wahab
Rumman
Hasan Ali

Reserves:
Amir
Sohail Khan
Usama
Umar Jamal


ODIs:

Azhar Ali
Zaman
Babar
Talat
Malik
Sarfraz
Shadab
Hasan Ali
Amir
Sohail Khan
Asghar

Reserves:
Saad Ali
Kamran
Rahat Ali
Imad Wasim


Would have liked to have haris sohail in ODIs but he is not in the list and I don't think he is not fit enough to make an int'l return now which is good for him in the long run if his return is well rounded and placed

 

[Zohaib Shah]

I have slightly lost interest in Pakistan cricket after seeing this squad. When you look around other teams you see them trying there best young players with fresh faces. Over here in Pakistan we are not moving on from guys like Hafeez or Akmal. Did Pakistan really need this many inconsistent players?

 

[MustafaSk]

also a trundler.. he is not a int'l material... hit him for three 4s continuously, then he is done for the match.. he bowls pace, pace, pace at the same place even if he gets hit for 4s three times...he is decoded in int'l level and done forever..

If Sami is not International material then Wahab,Sohail,Rahat,Sohail.khan and e.t.c crap are not even domestic quality.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Same old trash. The Revolutionary living up to his standards.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good to see Shadab,Talat,Ashraf and Saad Ali on the list.

Don't want Rahat and Masood anywhere near the squads.

 

[UN talkz]

This camp is only for t20 and odi players
a separate camp will be held for test team players from 18 march........ Hope fawad is in that camp

 

[Hasan123]

Some good selections, some poor selections. Let's see what Inzi selects in the final squad.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

If you are dropped then you cannot come back within a year of getting dropped.

Players like Hafeez coming back after every other series.

If Player A doesn't perform then player B takes his place for 15 matches. If Player B doesn't perform and its within 1 year of Player A being dropped then Player A can't come back. Move on to Player C.

Keep cycling till you find the right player.

Selectors and their nepotism and knee jerk habits.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Same old trash. The Revolutionary living up to his standards.

there are some good selections as below

Hussain talat, saad ali, zaman, shadab khan, usama, asghar, ammad , fahim ashraf, shinwari, rumman raees,...

Bad selections:

tanvir, hafeez, UA,

OK selections:
shehzad, Masood had performed in the recently concluded one day cup.
kamran, yasir shah got a good PSL..

rest of them are regular in the squads...

Overall it is an OK squad of 31... With this lineup it is possible to make both good and bad final squads...

 

[Hawkeye]

Neither is Anwar Ali.


but but but I thought Sarfaraz will play his besties and run the team into the ground


[MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION]

Let Sarfraz settle in the side first.

 

[Alamgeer]

No shazaib Hassan!!! Shocking

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Trash Hafeez will score one fifty and book his ticket to Birmingham.

 

[Junaids]

The decision to delay the announcement of the players for the Test camp, combined with the anti-Misbah backlash, makes me fear that Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif will now be called up, to make Misbah indispensable.

I wanted both back for the recent nine Tests outside Asia, after which I wanted both to retire. They are not the future: players over 30 are the past, not the future.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

We need 3 all rounders for lower order who can SR at 140. Who are they?

 

[Boi]

Really sad how Zafar Gohar has completely fallen off the radar ever since Inzi has come in as selector. He would've been our 2nd spinner in Tests now if he hadn't missed the flight when he was called in as Yasir's replacement in October 2015.

There not going to be recalled lol.

 

[Syed1]

We need 3 all rounders for lower order who can SR at 140. Who are they?

Yamin, Shadab and Imad

Although Yamin can strike it big he is no Razzaq who could hit from the word go. Yamin also isn't in the 31 man squad.

Shadab is aggressive and has good shots.

Imad can only hit spinners, struggles against pace and relies on cute dinks and laps which rarely ever pay off.

Since Yamin isn't there maybe Fahim Ashraf could be the third alrounder however I don't know how good he is with the bat. Hasan Ali is no mug with the bat and definitely has batting potential, who can forget his Kohliesque cover drive in the PSL. Then we always have the option of ATG alrounders in Tanvir Sobers or Alrounder Ali.

 

[GreenMasterz007]

I hope they use Shafiq and Azhar Ali for Tuktuk test cricket only ... They need to be kept away from ODI .. We don't need masters of dot balls in ODI ..

 

[Junaids]

Yamin, Shadab and Imad

Although Yamin can strike it big he is no Razzaq who could hit from the word go. Yamin also isn't in the 31 man squad.

Shadab is aggressive and has good shots.

Imad can only hit spinners, struggles against pace and relies on cute dinks and laps which rarely ever pay off.

Hasan Ali is no mug with the bat and definitely has batting potential, who can forget his Kohliesque cover drive in the PSL. Then we always have the option of ATG alrounders in Tanvir Sobers or Alrounder Ali.

Fahim Ashraf is a decent batsman, but his bowling action is a disaster from start to finish.

 

[asma_cricfan]

Asad, Anwar, Yamin, shahzaib, Hammad deserve to be called in camp bcz of their domestic performance and PSL.

 

[Citizen4]

I've heard Amir will be dropped from the T20 squad.

that will be ideal for him, he should focus on main formats

 

[Citizen4]

looks like Hafeez will be selected for t20s and Umar Akmal, Rizwan and Tanvir will stay in the team as well

 

[moghul]

Its a new trend in Inzi's and SYK's era. Selectors don't select, they ask the players.

Misbah was asked, he said he would like another trip to West Indies: given, selected

Hafeez told Inzi, I would also like to go to West Indies, Inzi said no problem, this team is made to serve your ambitions.

now Umar Akmal is treated the same way, he will stay in the team with almost zero peerformance

 

[Square Drive]

looks like Hafeez will be selected for t20s and Umar Akmal, Rizwan and Tanvir will stay in the team as well

Rizwan is not in the 31-man list.

What makes you think he'll stay in the team?

 

[Speedster777]

Despite have so many options if we still select that hack hafeez again we deseve to lose the WC qualifiers. Ghatiya selection by inzamam.

 

[Speedster777]

inzamam is no better than previous selectors

 

[Square Drive]

As usual, a mixed bag.

Firstly, I'd make the following changes to this list:

Replace: Azhar Ali, Shan Masood, Rahat Ali, Sohail Tanvir, Yasir Shah WITH Shahzaib Hasan, Mohammad Rizwan, Aamer Yamin, Hasan Khan, Zafar Gohar.

I'd keep Hafeez because now that his bowling is back, he is definitely in our top 31 ODI players, though he should retire from T20Is and Tests immediately.

From this 31, keeping in mind that typically only 15/16-man squads can be named and not everybody can be accommodated, I'd omit people as follows:

Ahmed Shehzad
Mohammad Hafeez (1st omission)
Fakhar Zaman
Azhar Ali (2nd omission)
Shan Masood (3rd omission)
Babar Azam
Shoaib Malik
Umar Akmal
Asif Zakir (4th omission)
Saad Ali (ODIs ONLY)
Sarfraz Ahmed
Kamran Akmal
Fahim Ashraf
Hussain Talat (5th omission)
Amad Butt (6th omission)
Mohammad Amir
Hasan Ali
Wahab Riaz
Rahat Ali (7th omission)
Rumman Raees (T20Is ONLY)
Sohail Khan
Junaid Khan (ODIs ONLY)
Sohail Tanvir (8th omission)
Mohammad Abbas (9th omission)
Usman Shinwari (10th omission)
Usama Mir (T20Is ONLY)
Imad Wasim
Mohammad Asghar
Shadab Khan
Mohammad Nawaz (ODIs ONLY)
Yasir Shah (11th omission)

Hafeez has not been in good nick and age is not on his side. Plus we have spin all-rounders such as Shadab, Nawaz, Imad, and even Malik that can perform a similar role. Shouldn't be in either squad for now.

Azhar, Shan, Rahat, Tanvir, and Yasir have no business in these formats and any of them finding a spot im either squad would be nothing less than a travesty. Although Yasir may thrive in the shorter formats under an aggressive leader, I'd much rather invest in Shadab/Asghar/Usama.

Asif Zakir is 33 and should not be introduced at this age.

Saad can work in ODIs with Haris, Umar, Rizwan all struggling in the middle. Wouldn't want him to play T20Is and become a slogger, so he should stick to ODIs.

Kamran and Shehzad have earned it for both formats. Can't say anything now with Sharjeel and Khalid gone.

Need a pace AR and with Yamin not there, I'm tempted to give Ashraf the nod.

Hussain Talat can consider himself slightly unlucky but we have enough batsmen at the moment and I believe he's still a bit raw. Should keep up the hard work for around another season before he's considered. Not everyone can be included.

Amad Butt, too, is still raw. Spin ARs should do fine in WI.

Rumman Raees is tailor-made for T20Is and should stick to that format, while Junaid's somewhat decent comeback in the ODIs against Australia should keep him in the ODI squad.

Mohammad Abbas I believe is more suited towards Tests.

Shinwari is the type who could be a weapon in T20s but with Amir, Wahab, Hasan, Rumman, Sohail, and then maybe Fahim also in contention, he would unfortunately have to miss out for now, even though I would rest Amir and Wahab for most of the T20Is.

Usama should start off with being a part of the T20I squad, while I'd prefer Nawaz over him in the ODI squad due to his batting abilities and maturity. With Asghar, Shadab, Imad all in ODIs, it would be hard to include Mir. Even Nawaz should start from the bench.

Looking forward to the Test camp, and hopefully the likes of Usman Salahuddin and Fawad Alam are included there.

hussain talat should be selected in both formats, as he has shown enough in the limited opportunities he got...

Kamran yes for t20 not ODIs,,

Shehzad is still the same with his tuk tuk.. zero improvement in SR, useless addition...

Zaman will replace shehzad in both formats...also kamran can fill in for T20Is as Azhar ali will not play the format.. Also Kamran can be taken as a backup opener for ODIs and if he has performed well in 4 T20Is which will happen first then he earns his call for ODIs too..

Shehzad, Hafeez, UA , tanvir a big NO from the above list....

So best wicket keeper we have 24 year old "Rizwan" is dropped for worse wicket keeper 35 year old Kamran

akmal.Inzi is so disappointing he should have presisted with rizwan in odis and kamran should only be in

T20 squad ,this is your reward Rizwan for extra ordinary keeping in AUS

What makes you think kamran will play as a keeper batsman?

Sarfaraz is there too.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Why Shan Masood?
Haris Sohail should have been there and why no Irfan?

 

[Citizen4]

I'm pretty sure Umar Akmal will be selected for tests as well, because that's what Inzamam do, select Umar Akmal with next to zero domestic performance
