Building Pak Team for Champions Trophy & World Cup 2015

[ali hussein]

First of all, where will be the Champions Trophy & 2015 world cup going to be played? If its in Australia, England or South africa, than we should get technically sound batsmen and give them a run so that they peek by 2015.

Players that might not be there from the current team due to retirement or will be too old for it by than or simply not good enough for ODI cricket.

Shoaib Akhtar - Retired
Younis khan
Misbah ul Haq
Abdul Razaaq
Mohamad Yousuf
Abdur Rehman
Kamran Akmal

Who should replace them? Any names? New faces are needed to make sure we win 2015 world cup and champions trophy in two years time

[asadee]

where will the champions trophy take place and when?

[SAF]

Kami and Rehman would most likely be still playing.

Champions trophy has been stripped for the test championship.

Not true, it's still on the calendar I believe 2013 in England. They might decide to scrap it later, not official yet though.

heard basit ali on ARY, and he said that sarfaraz ahmad should be given a chance as a wicket keeper and apparently his batting has improved and has scored a double hundred in domestic cricket. surely he can replace kami

Safaraz keeping has looked suspect and as for his batting, last time I saw him play, he was trying to sweep fast bowlers, what a man

haha what do u expect from basit, the guy is mqm fanboy. if he had a choice he would pick 11 players from
Karachi to represent Pakistan

Champions trophy will be stripped out, because of the test championship. ICC is trying to have 1 tornament every year and leaving one year free.

Why no team building for T20 World Cup? In terms of tournament standings World Cup > T20 World Cup > Champions Trophy.

But Champions Trophy is the most exciting of them all because of no minnows.

T20 is different. We can't those players. ODI is the main problem right now. We are trying to get good batsmen here.
