Right now we already have a consistent opener in Hafeez. We need someone like Sharjeel at the top, who can give us a quickfire start.

Yes, Junaid should've replaced Raees, but Afridi dropped him from the Peshawar team, so he wasn't going to get selected.

Hasan Ali from Zalmi Team also seem a good prospect but i guess the squad is fine and balanced for now. I have high reservations on Shoaib Malik though. His inclusion has always been forced. Let's see how he performs in the Asia Cup. He is in a bad nick as usual

It is not about stats, I don't see things based on stats.. Its about how and when you perform in critical situations and matches

After World T20, I would back Sarfraz Ahmed as T20 captain and Aaqib Javed as head coach. No supporting coaching staff is indeed. For batsmen technique, there should be work on the academies and on nets before tours by legendary batsmen like Inzamam-ul-Haq, Muhammad Yousaf, Viv Richards etc rather than on the field.
And most importantly, Get rid of Shoaib Malik and Waqar Younis as quickly as possible

Why Malik? He was our best batsmen last Year, and has played maturely this year too. It's just the PSL in which He failed.

You can be right about the stats but in my personal opinion I don't consider one good player if he doesn't perform in crunch matches, important situations and against good teams without giving a chance. He has quite much technical flaws and he isn't consistent at all. With fit Haris Sohail and Babar Azam, Malik is the ultimate exclusion from the squad. His selection has always been forced throughout the history and this is one of the dilemmas of Pakistan Cricket

It has been confirmed via local news channels that Rumman Raees and Ahmed Shehzad have been brought back into the World Twenty20 squad for Khurram Manzoor and Mohammad Sami, respectively.
The only change they should make now is get Sharjeel Khan out and get someone deserving in.

There are rumours in the press that Salman Butt is being considered for the World T20. I sinceely hope that it's not true. I don't want that bastard to play for Pakistan again.
