• Feb26-2020--Pakistans squad for the world T20... Imran Nazir, Imran Farhat, Khalid Latif, Mohammad Hafeez, Salman Butt, Shahzaib Hassan, Shoaib Malik, Umar Akmal, Naveed Yasin, Hasan Raza, Kamran Younis, Misbah-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Fawad Alam, Abdul Razzaq, Shahid Afridi, Yasir Arafat, Hammad Azam, Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, Umar Gul, Mohammad Aamer, Mohammad Asif, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Sami, Saeed Ajmal, Raza Hasan, Abdul Rehman, Kamran Akmal, Sarfraz Ahmed, Zulqarnain Haider...pakistans t20 sqaud incudes one new batsman and one new bowler with a string of old and new old rounders with doubtful records and at least several sifarishis...aamer sajjad does not make the cut despite a good recent record... pakistans selectors have not learnt too much from the fiascos...imran nazir, imran farhat and khalid aziz were clear failures and hasan raza , sarfraz ahmed are not too great either...kamran akmal makes a comeback despite a poor disciplinary record...if players are allowed to play badly and demonstrate poor discipline and still get selected than the pakistan team wont improve...two or three players make it from the under 19 and two from the A team...the three wicketkeepers all have a doubtful record...mohammed hafeez, misbah and kamran younis come back as well...with naveed yasin and the three under 19/A players probably the only new guys...naveed yaseen, kamran younis,mohammed hafeez, hammad azam, shahzaib hassan expected to improve pakistans pathetic batting..the bowling looks stronger but they too could not display their talents when required...even omar gul was at best a failure given his earlier T20 form...
