OPPurtunites for some new faces & for some new come back in national side...

Pakistan has announced the squad which has a good mixture experience and youth. Even if you look at the squad you get a feeling that leaving out Umar Gul and Wahab Riaz will make bowling weak.The return of Sohail Tanvir is a boost for Pakistan bowling attack,
because this time around sohail tanvir will want to secure his place for longer period of time, As Shahid Afridi and Abdul Razzaq both failed to make it to the squad for various reasons this provides golden opportunity for Sohail Tanvir be the regular feature of Pakistan Cricket Team.

Along with Sohail tanvir, Junaid khan the young fast bowler who made a lot of noise during his county stint with the Lancashire. He is just two series old and will have a huge role to play in Zimbabwe to ensure that he is not just a stock bowler but a front-line seamer who is good enough to lead the prestigious Pakistan pace attack. Junaid khan is just seven games old and this is his big opportunity to prove himself as to be good enough bowler in ranks of
Pakistan Fast Bowlers.

Asad Shafiq and Azhar Ali has the same point to prove, both are lacking the same thing, which is to cross a hundred-Run barrier, Due to his terrific temperament he is now a permanent member of the test squad but after some significant scores he has still failed to reach a milestone of 100 run which every batsman dreams of out of the 12 test matches played he has gone past 50-run mark 8-time but still not able to convert those scores into century.
Though you might say the pressure is building on him for not scoring a century but I believe his calmness n cool head overcomes all such factors and you ll still see him focused as he has always been. Asad shafiq has even more to prove in comparison to Azhar Ali because he has failed to make a century in both formats (TESTS & ODIS).This is the time for both of them to make a huge impact in international cricket arena and also a perfect opportunity for to prove themselves long race horses.

Rameez Raja Jnr has given a go at the international cricket , probably people will have less expectation from him but the point is he must learn from what has happened with Usman Salahuddin ,Umar Amin, Shahzeb Hassan and many others .Seeing the trend in Pakistan Cricket this might be his first and last chance to prove himself. I really hope he is sensible enough to make full use of this opportunity provided & score runs because only runs will keep your place in the Pakistan side , (if you are not AN Imran Farhat.)

Now turning to another department that needs to be corrected as soon as possible, off course I m talking about Wicket keeping. Adnan Akmal will have a full-series to play ,he has shown a lot of commitment behind the stumps and this time if he can perform with his willow too then all his competitors can sell there gloves because Adnan Akmal will be answer to long problem of Pakistan wicket keeping. I Hope he shows his strength with the bat also and close the door for his elder brother Kamran Akmal !

Sohail Khan, after impressive domestic season and a lot of hard work is finally backed in contention. Zimbabwe will be an easier opponent but you have to bowl those wicket taking balls .Sohail khan has pace and due to his good height he will be able to generate bounce from most of the surfaces. He would also like to cement his place in the Pakistan side as the senior duo of Umar Gul and Wahab Riaz are rested for this tour of Zimbabwe, This provides a golden opportunity for Sohail khan to make his mark in the international Cricket.

As for Aizaz Cheema & Yasir Shah, I think the opportunities will be very limited and they might have to wait for the proper chances.Yasir Shah might get a chance in the only test match to be played.

Wishing all the best to all Youngsters for the tour.
Play With Pride Pakistan!
