The 30 man provisional squad for the Champions Trophy was announced recently by the PCB.

However it's worth noting that the final 15 players do not have to come from the original list of 30 players.

Use this thread to add the names of players that weren't in the 30 man squad but you feel should be included in the final 15, but rather than just listing names add your thoughts on why those players should be included.

Just saw his stats and he is in the top 5 of most productive Pakistani batsman batting at no. 3 in ODIs. Solid strike rate and the average doesn't look too bad either. Surely he's a better option than Hafeez at no. 3 right?

Following his good form in the on-going President's Cup, does Sharjeel Khan deserve a spot in the ODI squad?

We know that the Champions Trophy is on its way, and we don't have a complementary opening pair.
We know one thing for sure, that Hafeez will play no matter what. But other than Hafeez out of these guys which would you prefer to open?
I would prefer Shehzad and Jamshed, like the T20s and have Hafeez at three, but if Hafeez isn't willing to give up his opening spot in ODIs then have Shehzad for sure. 

Ahmed shehzad has 2 centuries which were both out of the sub continent, he averages more than all the other openers I have listed including Hafeez, out of the sub continent, to be precise he averages 36.33.

Furthermore he is in form at the moment looking at the Presidents Trophy, he has played 3 innings so far, and got over fifty all three times with a century today.

Just read in a thread that there is no entry at Gaddafi stadium today due to security concerns. (Port Qasim A v Sui Gas )

I mean how on earth will they get international cricket back when they don't have security for domestic cricket?

And how can you promote domestic cricket if public can't watch their heroes playing?

Hope this is some one-off incident.

Not that easy but how would the relative performances of some of our legends compare with each other?

Tough call by Wisden or justified?

We should rather look for 5 good bowlers who can bowl a team out for less than 250 on any pitch rather than one whizz kid who can do that on his own!
