Skipper Babar Azam, wicket-keeper batsman Mohd. Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali were once again able to perform big during the series and hence, there is no doubt whatsoever that the men in green now rely heavily on the four of them across formats.

Additionally, Nauman Ali and Mohd. Abbas too have managed to establish their place in the Test team. Fawad Alam on the other hand has had another good outing and so, he is now one of the more reliable players in Pakistan’s Test XI.

The fact that Pakistan drew the Test series against an inexperienced West Indies side is likely to raise eye brows once more. Also, prior to the tour Pakistan lost the ODI series to an inexperienced English side and now that, Misbah-ul-Haq has been in the office for a while; desired results haven’t really come and so, he will be under massive pressure to retain his place.

Test specialists Abid Ali, Imran Butt and Yasir Shah for sure, have had a disastrous series. All three of the them then might not feature the next time Pakistan announce a Test squad! Mohd. Hafeez too has been out of form with the bat for a while now. The T20 specialist is likely to face the axe particularly if the bosses at PCB decide to ignore his performances with the ball.
