ODI squad for 5 odis v england - youre choices??

Yes there is still 1 test match to play in the test series but the focus turns to the ODI series and pakistan are likely to pick a 15 man sqaud for the 5 ODI games. Shoaib malik is touted as being still unfit and is likely to miss out. Alot of players in current series are likely to stay on but some reinforcements will come in possibly those who did well in "A" team tour to Australia.

so what would be your ideal 15 man odi sqaud.

muhammed Hafeez
Rafatullah Mohmand
Younis khan
Muhammed yousuf
Inzamam
Shahid yousuf

Kamran Akmal

Mansoor amjad
Shahid afridi
Abdul razzaq
Yasir arafat

Muhammed asif
Shoaib akthar
Rana naveed
abdur Rehman

i think Butt, Farhat,Iqbal, Kaneria, sami need to go back home and sadly S nazir/Gul may have to miss out.

Lets done with the 4th test first.

too early for Mansoor Amjad

why? id pick him over kaneria for odis.

Kaneria doesnt deserve to be in the odis although i would give abur rehman a chance over amjad just because of his experience

I think we have enough spin options for ODIs, If there isnt Malik and Afridi we have Hafeez who can come in.

moyo

razzaq
akmal
akhtar
rana
asif

Akmal
Malik (Hafeez if he is injured)
Y.Khan
MoYo
Inzi
Bazid Khan/Hasan Raza/ Shahid Yousuf
Afridi
Razzaq
Akhtar
Rana (Gul if he is injured)
Asif

I would like to see the fast bolwers heavly rotated.

So Akhtar, Asif, Rana, Gul, Nazir, Sami should all be in the squad if possible.

I'm a little unsure about Mansoor Amjad being called up. Perhaps if he does well at Leicestershire, he should be brought into the squad for perhaps the last couple of games.

I would personally like to to see Bazid Khan back in the side, he didn't do a lot wrong when he last played.

1. Mohammed Hafeez
2. Shoaib Malik (Farhat/Butt if Malik is not fit)
3. Kamran Akmal
4. Younis Khan
5. Inzamam Ul Haq
6. Mohammed Yousuf
7. Hasan Raza/ Bazid Khan/Shahid Yousouf
8. Shahid Afridi
9. Abdul Razzaq
10. Umar Gul
11. Shoaib Akhtar
12. Mohammed Asif
13. Mohammed Sami
14. Naveed Ul Hassan
15. Shahid Nazir

butt - showed promise before being idiotically run out because of younis
taufeeq - good fielder and better than farhat who keeps getting out for duck
younis
moyo
afridi - monty troubled the batsmen because of his bounce and pacy spin, afridi can do it better
razzaq - pace option and an ok batsman
hafeez - he's in good form but he starts at 7 because you don't hire a fresh new employee and put him store manager
kamran - disappointing series but he's just going through a rough patch.
nazir - superb bowling, very impressive considering the circumstances he's been re-introduced under
sami - he was ok we don't have anyone better
gul - at times fooilsh bowling but gets wickets

well id take 14 as only 14 in champs trophy.

younis
hafeez
razzaq
yousuf
inzamam
akmal
afridi
rana
shoaib
asif
kaneria
sami
asim
salman

no point picking those not in the 30 man prelim squad.

is shahid yousouf in the 30 man prem squad for champions trophy

yes he is and welcome to pakpassion.
by sounds of ur ID u should check sports corner out!

thnx mate, im an avid united fan and would do anything for them!!!

thnx for the info mate.

nice to know ur footballing heart is in the right place.

maybe i should have had one more bowling option in my squad but seeing as they omitted yasir from the squad i just went for an opener in salman.

yasir arafat doen a good job for sussex replacing the wicket machine rana naved so maybe he deserves his chance

yep he had big boots to fill and has filled them - joint top wicket taker in 20 20 and doing well in the championship - i would love bari to explain his omission.

Anything less than 5-0 in the ODIs will not be tolerated.

A Rehman should be given a chance, we need a specialist spinner for the ODIs.

any chance you change your name?

Kamran Akmal

Shahid afridi
Abdul razzaq

Muhammed asif
Shoaib akthar
Rana naveed
Umar Gul
abdur Rehman

I think mansoor haven't dont enough to justify his place in pakistani squad. He gives way too many runs and he is not a decent batsman as of yet. He need to spend more time with A team.

When i picked Gul, I thought about arafat too but i think Gul need to give more chances. He is a bright prospect and he is coming good now.

If malik is still not fit, i will keep faisal in the team. I think he is better suited to short version of a game
