What if Bumrah, Shami and Kumar were Pakistani - Would Pakistan have selected all three of them?

[Major]

Going into the India vs Pakistan match, for the first time ever India has the advantage in the bowling department, as their bowling looks strong while Pakistan's bowling looks quite weak.

India has always chosen bowler based upon their skill with the ball and what they offer.

Pakistan has always chosen a bowler based upon its pace alone, its one of the reasons why a guy like Wahab RIaz is still part of the team.

Now (i'm really just assuming here) this Indian trio isn't as pacey as Wahab, but would they still had been selected in the Pakistan team? Or would had they rotted away just to allot the spots to more pacey bowlers?

Remember, Sadaf and Abbas have been ignored for quite long time, and the latter only got his chance as he was lucky to be bowling to the national captain in a grade 2 match.

If they could select Rahat Ali than I cannot see why they cannot select Bumrah, Shami and Kumar

 

[PakLFC]

Kumar perhaps. Not the other two.

 

[Ellipsism]

Shami yes.

Bumrah and Kumar no.

 

[ads101]

Shami and Bumrah yep. Kumar no. Kumar when he's in form has been great, but been too inconsistent over his career.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shami - yes. Bumrah too maybe because we played the likes of Anwar Ali.

 

[Hasan123]

Shami would have definitely been selected.

 

[nextover666666]

Umesh Yadav the selectors love pace from that list though I would say Bumrah

 

[GrandMaster]

As PCB is fond of pace, I expect Yadav and Shami.

 

[aloo paratha]

Yes to Shami and Bumrah, no to Kumar

Pakistan has a lot of promising fast bowlers in their domestic teams. That's never been a problem for us. Problem is meritless selection. exceptionally talented bowlers like irfan and sohail debuted at an age when fast bowlers retire.
