The Test win against Zimbabwe has raised the morale of Pakistani cricketers. It was surprising to see a totally unexperienced bowling squad featuring Aizaz Cheema, Junaid Khan and Sohail Khan. The bowlers Aizaz Cheema, Saeed Ajmal and Mohammad Hafeez played an important part in the victory but PCB management should reconsider bowling line up.
The conspiratorial elimination of mainstream bowlers like Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer has led Pakistan to a tough time and Pakistan has lost the front pacer pair. PCB's decision to give Umar Gul and Wahab Riaz rest seems illogical. How could they give rest to the mainstream pacers and replace them with newbies? On the other hand Pakistan is also missing an expert spinner like Shahid Afridi to accompany Saeed Ajmal. Mohammad Hafeez is not the
ir category. Sohail Tanvir, much experienced, is surprising taken but not included in final 11 yet. Sohail Khan should be immediately replaced by Left armer Sohail Tanvir for ODIs and T20s. Experienced Leg spinner Danesh Kaneria is also a better option for Test matches to accompany Saeed Ajmal. He can replace one pacer as as effective tool.
PCB should not consider Zimbabwe a minnow team and make the best available squad. I hope theres a better bowling line up in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka and then England.
