For test match team, which is where the real competition will happen, Younis Khan is absolutely essential. He is still ranked among the top 5-6 test batsmen in the world.

One thing is for sure that aizaz cheema has no place in pak squad. every fast bowler is better than him. There are a lot of new comers e.g tanvir ahmed, mohammad talha, junaid khan, anwar ali, mohammad irfan, and wahab riaz. All of them are better than that guy aizaz cheema. I cant understand how he remained persistant in the team last year and early this year. He may have some secret links in the PCB.

For god sake move on from these failures and give chances to the young talent. People like you must be running PCB as well who are keep selecting failure over and over in the name of special series where they do not want to experiment much. We have abundance of talent but people like you destroying them over and over………………….Imran Farhat, Taufiq Umar, Younis as middle order batsman……….what the hell are you thinking or you are not even capable of doing such thing……………huh

To South Africa I would take Umar Gul, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Irafan, Aizaz Cheema and Zia-ul-Haq as fast bowlers, Said Ajmal, Zulfiqar Baber and Rehman as spinners, Hafiz, Imran Farhat, Taufiq Umar as opners, Misbah, Younis, Umar Akmal, Haris Sohail and Asad Shafiq as middle line. As Keepers I’ll take Adnan and Akmal. I’ll play Haris Sohail in playing 11 in India as well as SA. My second choice spinner will be Zulfiqar.

Ever enthusastic fans should not just be so sure about Mohammad Youssef. It is not his yesterdays which count, it is the form and condition of the day. Look at Ponting and tandulkar and try to calculate, how a great player can become a liability when age effects his reflexes. Also otherwise, great Youssef has rarely performed in SA or AUS. Iqbal Kasim should avoid selection all time failrues like Sami and Faisal Iqbal and should include the shining talent of Haris Sohail. Mohammad Irfan could be a positive inclusion on bouncy pitches if he is taught to bowl at the good areas and avoid short balls. You need batsmen who can score big fifties and hundreds not the 30′s and 40′s which Umar and Asad are used to do.
