Pakistan WC2007 squad

[MCG 1992]

This would be my 15 for the worldcup:

1.HAFEEZ
2.AFRIDI
3.YOUNIS
4.YOUSUF
5.INZIMAM
6.MALIK
7.AKMAL
8.RAZZAQ
9.RANA
10.SHOIB
11.ASIF
12.HAMEED
13.FARHAT
14.REHMAN
15.GUL
(Assuming all players are fit at time squad is announced)

Openers: Hafeez, Fahrat, Afridi (Akmal can play here aswell)

Middle order: Younis, Yousuf, Inzimam, Hameed

All-rounders: Afridi, Malik, Razzaq, Hafeez

Wicketkeeper: Akmal

Bowlers: Rana, Shoib , Asif, Gul, Rehman

To me this seems very balanced squad with players for each role and backups incase of injuries. Only exception being just the 1 wicketkeeper but i think Younis can keep aswell.

What would be your squad? I think most of us will agree on the same 12 or 13 players.

[Easa]

Good squad, I'd go in with the same.

[Ahmad]

Gives us a good long batting line up without compromising on the bowling much. Though do Malik and Afridi interchange in the final XI or is there room for both?

I To Agree Mashallah What A Squad

[Amir]

My squad as follows in no particular order:
Hafeez
Butt
Afridi
Younis
Yousaf
Inzamam
Akmal
Razzaq
Gul
Asif
Akthar (Sami if Akthar is not fit)
Rehman
Rana
Fawad Alam
Shoaib Malik

So just one new name. I want to put Hasan Raza in my squad but I could not find a spot unless I either drop Rana or Afridi.

In all honesty, I think you are Wasim Bari But seriously, knowing our selectors, this probaly is the squad our selectors will pick. My squad is different and probaly will never happen!

[Ahmad]

Amir your squad is decent, but what bothers me is how can you throw a untested player like Fawad Alam into the deep end, WC 2007? I don't know how good he is, as I haven't seem him bat, but its asking a little to much off him isn't it? And a bit of experimentation which our selectors aren't known for.
