So will the same squad play in WI..well that would provide another chance to the likes of Maqsood . Their final chance to impress the selectors.
Guaranteed 5 0 to windies this...although maqsood defo.deserves he hasnt set the world on lights but asif ali has had tooo.many chances
How have you worked that one out!! They hammered aussies ..south africa after testing their bench strenghth..they are definately the dark horses if not favourites with england or india. I am expecting 5 0 loss maybe 4 1 if we luckyPakistan and West Indies are almost at the same level currently. I think this should be a good series.

West Indies lost 2-3 to South Africa too. They are very inconsistent.
When are the test squad travelling again?
26th July I think.

Waiting for that test series to begin.
Yeah can't wait, it'll be a cracker. I personally don't care about the t20 series. Also hoping Saud can somehow make his debut. Hopefully his 50 in the ODI series has impressed the management. Just gotta chuck that useless Imran Butt out.
Very much like Titan24, I would also like to see Pakistan try to experiment with the squad, with potentially playing Nawaz and Qadir together, maybe trying Maqsood at No.6, playing Ali Agha Salman etc. Just try different combination and styles.
Yep Moqsood could play that late order hit and he's capable of it like Hassan but i think for proper utilization play him at 3.
I wanna see what it's like to have Nawaz and Imad share the new ball, the spinners will certainly get assistance on these surfaces just like their spinners Fabian and Hayden Walsh.
Ali Agha is a terrible fielder i have to say and just about an ok batsman.
I would not play nawaz although he's a brilliant fielder just below shadab in terms of fielding but he doesn't get enough runs down the order.
I think it's more of a push for our middle order to pull their socks up. Nawaz-Imad in an opening powerplay in UAE will be lethal trust me.
Hafeez though might need dropping in my eyes with his declining performance with the bat, fair enough he bowled well last game but if you aren't making runs what's the point?
Let's be honest shadab and imad will be playing all matches come the world cup that only leaves 1 more spinning option In the final xi which will most likely be qadir.But playing qadir or nawaz will mean we will have to drop a batter as I think they will stil go in with 3 fast bowlers just in case.i don't think they will go in with 2 fast bowlers.nawaz is not a middle order batter he's a number 9 batter.
For me both hafeez and malik should be in the world cup squad both will provide useful spinning options instead of nawaz
Hafeez's past performances have been really poor, he's been gifting his wickets and this is not good with the WC just around the corner.
Why are all the T20 fixtures day games ? Like 11am start... Weird time to start a T20 game

Can't we have a good opening bowler who has an actual control over the ball? We usually lose t20s in the opening powerplay with our fast bowlers regularly going at 10 an over especially on the 150-160 pitches.
Shaheen is still very slippery with the new ball. Hasan still can't open the attack like he does in PSL.
Would be happy to have a Santokie, Badree, McLaren sort of bowler who can keep it tight in the powerplay instead of having a 60-1 at the end of powerplay. We essentially lost the 3rd t20 against England in the first 6 overs again.
11 members of the Pakistan Test squad now in the West Indies
They will isolate for one day and have their on-arrival test tomorrow - once clearing that test, they can start their training

Pakistan clearly needs some practice before the T20 world cup and this was probably our last series to try out combinations. Its a shame it has been subjected to covid culling and washouts.
Should PCB request WICB to play the remaining matches after the tests? Or if there is bubble fatigue, then can the tests be scrapped and 4 t20s played instead? The tests could be rescheduled later next year.

Given the fortunate scheduling in the next FTP cycle, Pakistan have a better chance of qualifying for the World Test Championship final than of progressing in the World T20 this year.
In any case, there are several test cricket fans in the country, including myself, who have been looking forward to this tour for a while. Pakistan play a handful of test matches as it is.
