Is this series happening? It's in the FTP but no fixtures appear to have been arranged.

 

[Aalay]

All the Sri Lankan players playing in IPL have been declared available for rest of the IPL matches. IPL is ending on May 27th and it is obvious that only 2 teams will make to the finals but DD and MI are looking pretty solid at the moment to reach till semi-finals. DD have Mahela and MI have Malinga. So I don't know if this series is starting on May 10th?

 

[barmyarmy]

Well according to my Sri Lankan contacts (!) the tour starts with a T20 on the 1st of June.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

well, this is definitely confirmed now. barmy has many spies with many eyes.

How many times will he come back?

He retired then he came back. He again retired? and now he is thinking about being back again on the field? Like decide already.

 

[Paki007]

idk what does whatmore want to do with the team.he wants kamran,malik and yousuf all back in the team.that's ridiculous

Surely you'd prefer any keeper to Adnan Akmal? And why shouldn't Yousuf be in the team?

 

[puddleduck]

Are there any keepers in Pakistan who aren't from the Akmal family? Adnan can catch but he can't bat, the other two can't catch.

Although without meaning it to sound like a troll I guess the jury is out on Kamran as he could certainly catch when he first established himself before the events which I shan't name were linked to him. Anyone aware of how his keeping has been in domestic cricket?

 

[sami ullah khan]

^Still pathetic. He could not perform with gloves or bat in Domestic T20 cup. Sarfaraz did more than a handy job in both aspects. It will be ridiculous to drop him now. He should also play in test for Pakistan as Adnan Akmal is too lame with the bat. About yousaf, I think its time for Pakistan to get over him now. We have already done it. To bring him back at cost of someone Like Shafique or Azhar will be a travesty.

 

[Rehan_24]

Nazir should be back for T20. Still best than hafeez and other younger openers.

 

[sami ullah khan]

On what grounds those f***ng selectors have selected tried and tested crap like Mohammad Sami and Faisal Iqbal for test and Imran FarSHIT for ODIs. I thought Whatmore will bring back some sense to our cricket but those old bastard selectors have ruined it once again.
