We don't need any of the Akmals please.

Where is Fawwad Alam who has average of 56 in domestic cricket. He is no where to be seen other than ODI. He is a top class middle order test material with a huge century on his test debut.

Usman Salahuddin, Hammad Azam and Naved Yasin have been due a chance for a long time. And on what grounds have they named Anwer as captain. He didn't get wickets even in A-team against lowely team like UAE and got hammered in every match.

We need a new of spinner and an allrounder. That's what they should have tried out in this match. Hammad Azam is getting better with his bowling now that he opens the bowling for his team. He should have been included in this A-squad. And secondly, all those who have been playing regularly for Pakistan ie. Anwer should not have been in this team.

Dear Dawn sports editor: Please highlight the state of our U19 national teams. Which has lost 2 matches to Afghan U19 at home grounds. All batsmen failed badly and all major bowlers got smashed for more than 9 per over by non other than Afghan kids. PCB have to take responsibility and fire the selectors who are leaving the deserving talent out and only playing those who have unjust backings. While people are busy in celeberating younis Khan and Pakistan performances against Australia, A-team is getting hammered by second rated UAE and U19 is just been smashed badly by another second rated team Afghanistan. Do people know that our U19 lost their first match by 10 wickets, and in the third they are bowled out for 157. Apart from dishonesty of our selectors, PCB is paying the price for not providing our U19 and A-team any competetive cricket for last 3 years where as all major teams are regularly playing each other. Media needs to play its part and should require Shaharyar for statement on the matter. Please do not let it be burried under the buzz of national team performances.

Come on PCB, team need practice on fast Australian & green NZ wickets for World Cup prep. What is your plan? Playing in UAE will not help

@Shahid sir great points, what else can you expect from a corrupt Govt. They hijacked the elections and now you see every department of Pakistan is in doldrums. The point is they have PMNL is the root to all corruption andust be discarded forever.
