Good!
Experience... you are relying on experience. And No chance for newbies like Husnain , Abid or Shaheen in your XI.
I went for Shaheen/ Husnain at first because of their pace.
big matches...I said Shaeen & Husnain will be given chances the way we performed in ENG serious they might get chance in 2-3 match of world cup.....

Abid is too young...and he is no more in WC squad 1 century cannot make you big player.....Imam is for much better, but we need aggression in start Fakhar would be first pick if fail in two match go with Imam

Fakhar
Imam
Baber
Haris
Hafeez(captain)
Kamran Akmal
Asif Ali
Shadab
Wahab
Hassan Ali
Amir

Nice but its too late to change a captain or include akmal.. so we hv to select XI from available squad. Bcz changing captain or animal is not under consideration.

If you play 4 bowlers than you must have Hafeez and Haris both to bowl 10 overs between them.

Yeah most of specialist bowlers are also getting same economy as batting allrounders so no harm with playing 4 specialist bowlers and couple of batting allrounders.

میری الیون میں سرفرازکو میں نمبر 11 پر ہی بیٹینگ کرواتا ۔۔ بس

True .. keeping in view his recent batting form. But initially he got famous as a reliable batsman, remember the phrase Sarfraz Dhoka nai dey ga

please get rid of Junaid khan for good
tell me an instance when he played well
Junaid is decent bowler with good record against India and Kohli but
Yeah he don't deserve place among 3 seamers with his current bowling form.
Same is the case with Amir.

Ok not the captain but they still change players until 23rd May. In my opinion Wahab is much better than Hasnain, Shaheen Shah and Junaid. He has worked on his length and has improved a lot. I would prefer Hasan Ali, Amir and Wahab as our first choice bowlers.
I also thing that until start of June, the wickets will get more drier and will help spinners a bit more.

If wickets stay the same then Fakhar and Abid are the ideal opners. Imam is bit slow until he reaches 50.
But as the weather gets warmer, dry wickets will help spinners .

Interesting.... but if Sarfraz agreed, he mostly hold himself for late order and certainly he is not a big hitter.

No hope for Pakistan , it will be no.5 in overall final figure.

Yeah Wahab will atleast perform better than the current bowlers but don't know where is he playing these days.
Spin factor is important, Pakistan is also not playing spin very well these days.
