@AsadRM and @Bevab missed their pick, I have the next pick Younis Ahmed.
Missed a chance to play for Pakistan during his peak due to his ban for participating in the South African tour, but does have an excellent record in First Class cricket, at one point was even recomended by Sir Don Bradman to play for South Australia

His bio from wiki
"The younger brother of Saeed Ahmed who played for Pakistan between 1958 and 1973, Younis made his first-class debut at the age of 14 for the Pakistan Education Board against South Zone in March 1962.
Younis arrived in England in April 1965 to begin playing cricket for Surrey. He played his first first-class match for the county two months later against a South Africa touring party and made his County Championship debut in 1967. He remained with Surrey until 1978 and was a key part of the side that won the County Championship in 1971. However, he left Surrey in acrimonious circumstances after the club did not renew his contract.
After leaving The Oval Younis was signed by Worcestershire and played there for four years between 1979 and 1983. However his contract was cancelled by the county when allegations arose that Younis had placed bets for his county to lose - allegations which Younis denied. He concluded his English playing career in Glamorgan where he played alongside fellow countryman Javed Miandad.
Younis also played for South Australia during the 1972/73 season, acting as the overseas player on the recommendation of Donald Bradman. He won the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy while playing for Pakistan International Airlines in 1969, matches which were used by Younis to get used to conditions ahead of his international debut.
Younis made two Test appearances against New Zealand in 1969. However, he was banned by the Pakistan Cricket Board for participating in the DH Robins' XI tour to apartheid South Africa in late 1973. The ban was rescinded in 1979, but Younis did not return to international Test cricket until 1987."

F it, Naseem Shah. What would a Pakistani team without an unproven '17'-year old fast- bowling prodigy be.

My number 4 slot is open, and there is no one more ideally suited to fill it than Haris Sohail. Yes, he has just played 14 Test for a batting average of 37, but if he hadn’t been plagued a knee injury for half his career, this guy would be a world class batsman. His ODI record proves that. Elegant through the off side, and solid against spin, he is almost a left handed version of Mohammad Yousuf.

Test Cricket is Best Cricket
Aamer MalikTest stats - 565 runs @ 35.31 (2 centuries, best 117) and 16 dismissals (14 ct, 1 st) in 14 matches
First-class stats - 7,770 runs @ 39.64 (22 centuries, best 200*) and 109 dismissals (102 ct, 7 st) in 135 matches
Well, I know absolutely nothing about Aamer Malik, but I know he was an unusually good batsman for a Pakistani keeping option, and also that he was never actually picked as a keeper. But having him in the side means that he and Arif can share the keeping and the batting duties between them. Is it insane? Unorthodox? Unexpected? Yeah, probably. And that's basically Pakistan cricket in three words.
I have no idea who I'm picking at number three.

Was undecided whether to pick a pacer or a spinner, but decided that a lone spinner was too much for Pakistan XI. So i've gone for Arshad Khan as the second fiddle to Iqbal Qasim. He was a competent player, good holding bowler, got good bounce thanks to his height, and on appropriate surfaces, could turn the ball properly. Took 32 wickets in 9 matches at an average of 30.
He is currently the head coach for the Pakistan women's team.

Test Cricket is Best Cricket
Wazir MohammadTest stats - 801 runs @ 27.62 (2 centuries, best 189) in 20 matches
First-class stats - 4,930 runs @ 40.40 (11 centuries, best 189) in 105 matches
Wazir Mohammad probably shouldn't be anywhere near this draft, let alone a number three batsman. His Test batting average was under 30, and was only the fourth-best batsman to come out of his mother's womb. But he was - and this is crucial - the brother of my team's recently reinstated captain, and nothing could be more Pakistan cricket than a healthy dollop of nepotism when it comes to team selection. In he goes.
