Which 7 batsmen should Pakistan take to the World Cup?

[gazza619]

I know this is a busy season for polls. Every other thread is a poll. I am creating yet another poll and the reason is because of the changing scenarios. For example before the Aus ODIs, Rizwan had not secure a spot. Abid is now at least being discussed and guys like Shan Masood and Umar Akmal have pretty much blown their chances. I was looking at the combinations and options and we need to pick 7 batsmen out of 12.

Please pick which 7 batsmen you will take to the WC. I also did a little analysis of their ODI hundreds attached here.

1. Imam Ul Haq
2. Fakhar Zaman
3. Babar Azam
4. Haris Sohail
5. Shoaib Malik
6. Asif Ali

7. Abid Ali
8. Mohammad Hafeez

You mean 7 + the wicketkeeper right?

Now that Saud is out of equation:

Abid
Fakhar
Babar

Haris
Rizwan
Umar/Hafeez (just because he can bowl too)
Asif

Sarfraz

I have mentioned Umar and Asif because we need atleast 1 batsman with firepower even though both are not in good form in internationals!

I think Sarfaraz is an automatic choice.

So we need to pick 8 batsmen.

The combo will be 8 batsmen, 1 WK, 7 bowlers.

That makes it a squad of 16 but 15 players are allowed, right? Or ICC allows 16 players too (one as a backup or something)?
