what's your opinion?

Haris hasn't played a first class game for 3 years, I'm a bit hesitant including him, would have liked him to play a few first class matches first. Wanted him in ODIs first.

I'd go for Sami, Usman Salahuddin and Fawad Alam. Fawad's performances of late might be underpar for him as of late, though they still aren't terrible, but it's hard to ignore a guy who's been consistently performing year after year for 10 or so years. Whilst others you might fear are simply having a purple patch.

Will people ever tire of making this false claim that Haris hasn't played red ball cricket in three years?

when did he play first class cricket in those three years?

[mak36]

when did he play first class cricket in those three years?

Already discussed in two other threads.

He played grade 2 cricket for his team ZTBL (for which he always played) which recently got demoted to Grade 2 after Haris' injury. Scored 300 runs in 3 matches with average of 60 with 2 centuries and 1 fifty. A technical giant like Haris doesn't need to play seasons of first class cricket to prove his form.

Shehzad, Sami, Masood

Play the natural openers first before trying to insert middle order batsman there...

 

[Yaasir]

Shan Masood, Harris Sohail and Usman Sallahuddin.

Sami Aslam should be one of the first players on the team sheet; even in the Misbah - Younis era. It still angers me how he was dropped for the WI series. Alam isn't going to be given a chance realistically so I guess Haris Sohail and Salahuddin can replace YK and Misbah

azhar is going to bat at 3 so the management won't introduce two new middle order batsman to replace yk and misbah
