What would be your T20I squad for the Sri Lanka series?

[hadi123]

Pakistan haven't lost a single series in T20Is since the World T20 2016. Our next assignment in this particular format is the 3 match series against Sri Lanka next month, with at least one of the matches in Lahore. What would be your changes, if any, from the squad that beat World XI in the recently concluded series? I would keep the same 16 man squad (including Mohammad Amir). If they decide to name a 15 man squad as there is no doubt about Amir anymore now his wife has given birth so they feel cover is not needed I guess either Sohail Khan or Aamer Yamin will be omitted from the squad.

My 11 would be:

1) Fakhar Zaman
2) Ahmed Shehzad
3) Babar Azam
4) Shoaib Malik
5) Sarfraz Ahmed (C) (WK) - although I would like him and Malik to switch places in the order
6) Imad Wasim
7) Mohammad Nawaz
8) Shadab Khan
9) Hasan Ali
10) Mohammad Amir - can come back in for Usman Khan, even though he bowled well
11) Rumman Raees

Yamin for.nawaz if it is a road of a wicket

 

[UN talkz]

Nawaz shud not be there... He has done nothing to be there... shud play domestic instead and look to improve his game.. bcz he has got a lot of time to learn...

As far as Yamin and Fahim are concerned... The selectors have to select one for Odis and one for T20Is simply bcz both cannot be in the same 11 bcz of being too much similar... I would like to see Fahim in ODIs and Yamin for T20Is...

Amir shud not play T20 maybe they shud give him a game which is to be held in Lahore as that will be gud for him since he missed independence cup...
Also Sarfaraz has to play as an opener... He cannot bat at any other position. Babar is great at 3 so no need to change his position... Maybe Fakhar or Shehzad shud move to 4, man it's T20 and there is nothing like specialist opener in T20 so one of them have to move to 4. Malik is excellent and guys like Sohail Khan, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Amir (if seletors decide to continue with him in T20Is) need to bat higher than Imad wasim.

[Ikhlaq ayoub]

Hafeez in place of nawaz becoz he can bowl n bat much better than him. And hafeezs recent performance in cpl with ball is much better than any other spinner. Also hafeezs inclusion in squad will provide us depth in batting line.

 

[htariq25]

Fakhar
Shehzad (can't be dropped cos PCB)
Babar
Sarfraz
Malik
Fahim
Imad
Shadab
Amir
Hasan
Ruman

Personally would prefer a power hitters opening with Fakhar instead of shehzad who got 3 sixes and claims he has put in "So much" hard work. The guy had a strike rate of around 100 in the other 2 games on rather flat batting wickets.

 

[hadi123]

anything but shehzad and we're fine

Not a fan of Shehzad but that innings in the last game has cemented his place and we just have to live with that

 

[todfod 11]

kick out shehzad.
bring in Amir and faheen ashraf should play. Pakistan is doing well in shorter format and its time to try new players.
