Iqbal Qasim defends the new squad selection – Cricket News Update
After throwing in a number of surprises in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 Cricket Board (PCB) expressed that the team has been selected keeping in mind the desired role of each individual.
PCB announced a 15-man squad for the mega event yesterday through a press release, surprising the cricketing fraternity by recalling the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kamran-Akmal-c70122, Imran Nazir and Abdul Razzaq.
Some of the youngsters like Hammad Azam and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ahmed-Shehzad-c42359, the young opening batsman,
has been dropped, despite a spirited knock on his comeback at Hambantota.
Many pundits have slammed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 last year.
While talking to ESPNcricinfo, the former left-arm spinner; expressed that the veteran all-rounder still has a role to play in the game’s shortest format, with handy medium-pace bowling to compliment his ability to strike
the ball hard. The former cricketer also has faith in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Nazir-c64248’s abilities to perform at the world stage.
"Each player in the side has a role and has been selected accordingly," Qasim expressed. "http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-c64193 are utility players and can make a difference. Imran is a good fielder, while Razzaq can also be useful as a seamer on Sri
Lankan pitches [during the World T20] and can score some quick runs."
Another surprise has been the preference of young left-arm spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdur-Rehman-c41691. Qasim however, thinks that the 20-year-old has a lot of experience at the domestic level, making him a surprise
element in the illustrious tournament.
"Raza, though young, isn't a new name," the chief selector mentioned. "He has been performing and [taking into account] the need for a left-arm spinner, he is the best [option] at the moment.”
The same team will take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE) prior to the global event.
