Politics & Nepotism. Heard Imran Khan talk about it years ago.

But observing the PAK team, don't want to put he mockers on them, but they look like they could have a basis of good test XI. Openers Manzoor/Shezad have really good techniques & if they keep building, maybe finally PAK can have their 1st stable openers since Anwar/Sohail.

Azhar Ali should have never been dropped really for Hafeez - his hundred reinforced his talent.

Safraz look a solid # 7 & Mohammad Talha looks a good addition to pace depth alongside Junaid, Irfan & Gul.

Manzoor, Shehzad, Ali, Younis, Misbah, Shafiq, Safraz, Gul/Talha, Ajmal, Junaid, Irfan.
