Fact of the matter is, Umar Akmal is more talented than Ahmed Shahzad. PCB should take a risk and bring him back. One thing is for sure, Umar Akmal will not do worse than this egoistic selfist unskilled unprofessional Ahmed Shahzad. Agree?

Why not bring back the man we dropped and probably our most reliable batsmen, Azhar Ali?

Umar Amin is the answer. He performed exceptionally well in Pakistan Cup and deserves a run in national team.
Currently, opening in Quaid E Azam trophy so this should not be new to him.

Exactly. Two Left-Handers opening will also do us good.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Replacing mediocrity with mediocrity only results in - yes, you guessed it - MEDIOCRITY!
Are you bored? Otherwise I think there is no other reason why anyone would want Umar Akmal back in the team

Two negatives equal a positive though?
True.
) We need to check stats of both batsmen in games they played together and the results of those games. another drop catch

So now we're looking for batsmen who can score more than 10 runs? Doing better than Ahmed shehzad isn't hard and shouldn't be an achievement.

I say bring back Azhar.
He was solid and consistent with his role of anchoring the innings. In the meanwhile, groom an opener to partner Fakhar at the top instead of experimenting.

I say how about we try out new players, invest our resources in them and give them our trust instead recycling the same failures.
Who is this Umar Akmal? He had all the resources available to him and amounted to nothing.
Time for new faces and young blood. We trusted Fakhar and our trust paid off. We trusted Hasan Ali and our trust paid off. No fear in trying out new players.

Azhar is injured.
With regards to the topic of the thread, no thanks. There are other batsmen in Pakistan too.

Both should be nowhere near the team. How many chances do they deserve?

He is a better batsman ,yes.But including him in team will likely affect atmosphere of the team.Massive problems with coach,internal politics in team,and if he gets in without being subjected to same fitness levels as others it will create double standards and more resentment.There is a reason england dropped KP despite being a great batsman.

Poor threat. Shehzad is an opener while Umar is a #6. I reckon is has never been tried as opener even in domestic cricket

Spot on. Not sure why so many posters think we should recycle the same old TTFs again and again.

A fit, focused Umar would be dynamite as an opener in LOI. But its never going to happen.

We don’t have to be trapped in this binary selection trap.
Fans will be like 'make Umar Akmal an opener.'
Sadly he has been so heavily influenced by the t20 mentality, that his 'supreme' footwork, and ability to counter the new ball that he showed when he first burst onto the scene in CT 2009, is all but a very very distant memory.
Signs of deterioration in ability to play swinging ball has been well documented for a long time now.
He is nowhere International level now besides in the t20 circuit.
He cannot play odi or test in any position as far as I'm concerned.
