I am very sorry but i did not read the rest of your line up when I saw Kamran Akmal in the list. Someone will have to be seriously out of their mind to bring back Kamran Akmal, specially now that we have loads of new guys lining up to debut..

-----------------------------------------------
FZ, Raees, Talat/Aga Salman, Sameen Gul

It's in NZ, therefore I don't think Imad's bowling is going to be effective, and he is horrible in field these days, never was a batsman for No. 6/7 - so he misses out. Sameen is an experimental pick - every series there should be such 1/2 U21 new faces in squad. If he is picked, Talat should bat at 4/5 dropping Malik to 6 (& Sarfraz to 5).

Irfaaaan is a short term pick - he should be there in series by series basis, because guy is bowling exceptionally well with new ball - and he must be used as Amir's partner and bowl out 4 overs at one go; such large corpse can't recover for 2nd spell in such short duration and he is a liability in field - if his overs are kept in hand, means he'll have to be in field for entire period. Bowl him 4 of the first 8 (or 7) at one go, and hide him for 6/7 overs at dressing room.

However, I am sure MoHa & Imad will make the squad, probably XI as well (MoHa to open), and if Ul Haq isn't kept in check, he'll pick his long term WK as well - for 2/3 years, as Captain, he made sure that PAK doesn't pick a back-up WK in squad. And, Wahab has bowled well in NT20C as well - so Raees/Fahim should be uncomfortable here.

When we will get off from these akmals

 

[hadi123]

Not long left for this series. What would be your squads? Our last T20I series was against Sri Lanka and since then there's been injuries and a lot more domestic cricket to assess who is in form.

NOTE: I am assuming Imad Wasim still won't be fit to play in this series, otherwise he would definitely be in this squad.

1) Sarfaraz Ahmed (C) (WK)
2) Aamer Yamin
3) Ahmed Shehzad - his domestic form is enough to keep him in T20s
4) Babar Azam
5) Faheem Ashraf
6) Fakhar Zaman - I am assuming he will be fit
7) Hasan Ali
8) Mohammad Amir
9) Mohammad Asghar - can replace Imad unless he recovers in time
10) Mohammad Hafeez - This could be his last chance for T20Is
11) Mohammad Nawaz
12) Rumman Raees
13) Shadab Khan
14) Shoaib Malik
15) Sohaib Maqsood - has been good in domestics
16) Umaid Asif - can replace Usman Khan Shinwari, don't think he'll be picked but can't think of any other seamers
17) Umar Amin

1) Fakhar Zaman
2) Umar Amin
3) Babar Azam
4) Shoaib Malik
5) Sohaib Maqsood
6) Sarfaraz Ahmed (C) (WK)
7) Shadab Khan
8) Faheem Ashraf
9) Hasan Ali
10) Mohammad Amir
11) Rumman Raees

This team can win the series.
