Pakistan team for the 3rd test at Karachi..

Filed under Article Cricket News

Pakistan have announced their team for the third and final test at National Stadium in Karachi from 29th of January to 2nd February. They have recalled Middle order batsman Faisal Iqbal, who is the nephew of former Pakistani batsmen Javed Miadad, has played 10 test matches to far. He has scored eight centuries this season in Pakistan's home cricket. They have also recalled Umar Gul, the man behind our loss at Lahore in 2004 series. He took 5 for 31 in the first innings and this will be his first test since then. PakistaniPakistanSquad.jpg selector said that Faisal and Umar are selected on the basis of their recent form in the domestic cricket.

One thing to be noted is that they have selected a 16 men squad and have 3 spinners (Kaneria, Arshad Khan and Shahid Afridi) and 5 seamers(Shoaib, Sami, Razzaq, Mohammad Asif and Umar Gul) which clearly shows that even they are not certain of what kind of pitch will be at National Stadium in Karachi.

Opener Shoaib Mallik has been releaved to be with his family as his father just passed away, and Injamam has been retained in the squad despite doctors advice to stay away from the game for 5 more days. Another batsman - Asim Kamal, who played against us in the 2004 series has been not included because of the illness of his father and Middle order batsmen Hasan Raja(the youngest Pakistani batsmen to score a century) has been left out because of a fracture.

The Pakistani Squad - Injamam-ul-haq(Captain), Younis Khan(vice captain), Mohammad Yousuf, Abdul Razzaq, Shahid Afridi, Salman Butt, Imran Farhat, Faisal Iqbal, Kamran Akmal, Shoiab Akhtar, Mohammad Sami, Mohammad Asif, Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, Umar Gul, Danish Kaneria and Arshad Khan.
