Musa Khan Ahead Of Naseem Shah

Naseem Shah impressed with his pace and control during the Brisbane Test. Nevertheless, media reports suggest that Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis don’t want to over work the young lad and hence, Musa Khan is likely to debut during the second and last Test of the series.

If it happens, it would be another poor decision of the selectors concerned. Naseem can be a handful under lights and therefore, if his workload was a concern; Pakistan should not have played the sixteen year old at Brisbane and instead should have waited for the day and night Test of the rubber.

Abbas Ahead Of Imran Khan

Perhaps the most stupid of all selection blunders that have been committed ever since Misbah became the chief selector was to drop Mohd. Abbas. The 45 year old has received plenty of criticism over the move and thus, is likely to make amends by playing Pakistan’s number one pacer at the Test level during the Adelaide Test.
