Why not make use of Haris Sohail's form and let him continue in the ODI team?

Not a great fan of criticizing team management as I believe they are fully capable of taking good decisions but not playing Haris Sohail in 1st ODI is silly!

Here is a batsman who seems to have found his feet in international cricket and is hungry for success - why not make use of his form?
 
Poor decision. Haris is a must.
Only reason i can think is they wanted a similar team to CT and don't want to disturb batting order. But thats a poor reason imo.

That tournament is over. I can understand mid-tournament!
 
Because apparently, Shehzad with his average of 16.XX and SR of 67.XX is a better option.

I think if one can deduce anything it's that Mickey has no faith in Hafeez as opener and dropping him after he scored 65 in his last odi outing would have been harsh. Inzi should make a call and drop Hafeez from the squad if he's not in Mickey and Sarfraz's game plan going ahead. Haris will get his turn hopefully after the first game.

meri dil k bat keh di..spoke my heart..
 
I'm banking on Ahmed Shehzad having a shocker.
 
Pathetic decision.

Haris is a class act so it's poor not to play him.

The fact Shehzad and Hafeez are playing makes this decision even worse.
 
Haris, Babar, Hafeez and Malik in the same line-up isn't ideal. Hafeez provides Pakistan with an extra bowling option. Very difficult to fit him into the line-up right now. Also why change a winning combination?
