Apart from Amir. And Hasan who seems to be better middle overs/death. Strictly talking new ball, i.e. ability to share the new ball overs with Amir in LOI.
 
What is so special about Amir's new ball bowling? He can contain runs and bowl defensive lines in the middle overs. Let Hasan and Usman share the new ball and.

OR

Drop Amir, Bring in Shaheen Afridi and make him open the bowling with Usman and let Hasan do what he does best in the middle overs.
 
I’d have Amir and Shinwari opening the bowling

Hasan is best coming in after, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

Junaid shouldn’t be discounted in Odis either, people act is if he is a ttf, he wouldn’t be in my 11 but I’d have him in the squad.

Off course Shaheen is the wild card here. Depending on how is development goes I’d love to see him opening the bowling with Amir. Would be a great combo

Hasan was really getting a fair bit of movement with the new ball in some of the PSL games. With Fahim likely to become a regular, Hasan should open the bowling with Fahim bowling in the middle overs

Would like a lethal pace option at each point of the innings, open, middle, end. If Hasan bowls with the new ball, he likely won't be able to do mid overs much, thus it feels a bit like easy pickings/the pressure isn't kept on.
 
Why is everyone forgetting about Rahat Ali? He swings the ball a mile with the new ball!
 
left right combo needed to open bowling

We do. A right hander with ability to bowl with the new ball is what we need. Unfortunately seems like everyone is left handed, Raees, Shinwari, Junaid, Amir, Riaz, Rahat, etc.
