Siraj has played 16 A team matches, Saini 14, Vihari 12, Agarwal 10, Gill 8, Shaw 5 and Pant 4.They are rewarded due to heavy investment in A tours which is key for success in their recent test series against aus
 
First class experience makes a difference, obviously. the new FC system is helping, but we do need to organize more FC games for the Shaheens.

Pcb is still at sleep while our fast bowling resources are all time low .Should arrange atleast 7 to 8 first class games for shaheen rather than useless t20s which are of no use

I don't think it's entirely PCBs fault though. Boards want to play lesser amounts of test cricket, so FC cricket is kind of out of the equation. NZ only hosted 4 home tests, so they'd never host many A team FC games. That's why I assume there were 5 T20s. Worst comes to worst, I think PCB should just take the hits and invite teams regularly.

How about 3 squad of Pak A ,Pak B ,Pak C playing 5 to 6 first class games during off season In pakistan.
Include best 35 performer and see where these guys stand .

Could be a good idea. I'd go with just two teams. Have a series of 3, played in Spring/Summer time. It's better than doing nothing for those months in the off season. I'm sure if it's marketed well, it wouldn't be a very expensive venture.
