If the PCB has set up a Sunday bazaar for comebacks then they should also call back Ahmed Shehzad. At least this guy has performed in recent tournaments and deserves a spot in Pakistan team.
Their is virtually no reason to send our A string team against NZ c string.
Last time NZ c string was sent and thanks to the IPL, Rachin, Mark Chapman and darly Mitchell became superstars and were brought to the first string.
If you were an NZ fan like I am, you'd literally throw a ruckus and think NZ is insane for replacing an accomplished batsmen like will young for an 23 year old lower order bat who hasn't made his mark, and you'd think kane Williamson's replacement being darly Mitchell who's a c stringer would be a joke, but voila guess what? These changes made NZ the 3rd strongest team in the tournament.
Meanwhile our A string achieved no 1 rank only to die in a fire after. Australia in the warmup games treated the whole pakistani team like they were toddlers. Imagine losing s warmup when you're playing near Full strength, only excluding rizwan while Australia are bowling David Warner?
The whole upcoming NZ series should send C to d string players like haider Ali, Usman Khan, Mohammad ali, saud shakeel, Abdullah shafiq, Haris, as well as some old past horses like sharjeel, Amir, imad, shehzad etc etc,
The goal needs to be to find atleast 2 or 3 players that we can incorporate into the main team, as whether you like it or not, we'll smack NZ c team and then get butchered repeatedly in the world cup.
Pakistan main team does not have an established middle order and the opening is extremely wonky, the bowling combination isn't set.
Nz series needs to be used to cultivate players while eng series needs ro be used to gell a team that mixes players discovered from the nz series and gells them with the players who are frontline established.
