Pakistan's ODI and T20 squads: Shahid bhai is back

For some strange reason Shahid bhai is back in the ODI team(i don't think he is needed). Overall, it looks like a very fine side to me


ODI squad: Misbah-ul-Haq, Mohammad Hafeez, Nasir Jamshed, Asad Shafiq, Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik, Kamran Akmal, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Irfan, Junaid Khan, Wahab Riaz, Umar Gul, Imran Farhat, Abdur Rehman.

Twenty20 squad: Mohammad Hafeez, Nasir Jamshed, Shoaib Malik, Kamran Akmal, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Irfan, Wahab Riaz, Umar Gul, Ahmed Shehzad, Umar Amin, Zulfiqar Babar, Asad Ali, Junaid Khan

Had he emotionally retired for the 27th time? Or was he dropped and now recalled?

what's that? his 8th comeback? 10th?

all at the age of 16. legend

Shahid bhai was dropped for the tour of India. He wasn't missed at any stage during the series( speaking purely from a performance point of view) so it is a little strange that he is brought back. With such large personalities like Shahid bhai it is quite difficult for the captain to have him on the "bench" for too long, he is a sort of a cricketer who should either be in the final 11 or not in the squad and currently he isn't good enough to be in the final 11.

For me Hafeez was the biggest disappointment in the test series, probably the selectors don't want to give him too much responsibility anymore(10 overs plus opening the batting) which is probably why Shahid bhai is back. So let me guess what the T20 team will be

1- Nasir
2- Hafeez
3- Kamran
4- Umar Akmal
5- Malik
6- Umar Amin
7- Afridi
8- Gul
9- Ajmal
10- Junaid
11- Irfan

Thankfully Tanvir is dropped( he is rubbish)

Great news coming out the Pakistani camp, Junaid Khan is fit and will play the T20 series.

Now that IS progress. The boy has talent.
