Our cricket board is completely confused. Have no vision at all. I am not against giving chances to young lads but the current scenario demands faces that could give both threat and challenge to teams like England and Australia. After all these court appeals and self-mockery of PCB that put our cricketers into this mess have produced no positives. The current PCB doesn't have the potential to unify 11 Pakistanis. Whom to blame?

This is a very biased selection and no wonder that the selectors were not consulted. It is biased selection because a lot of Karachi based players who deserved to be selected on the basis of domestic performance and talent were ignored, names like Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), Younis Khan, Mohammad Sami, Faisal Iqbal, Khurram Manzoor, Fawad Alam. In their places you have mediocres like Umar Amin, Zulqarnain Haider, Azhar Ali, Wahab Riaz and surprise, surprise all of them have underperformed in domestic cricket. The sole reason for dropping Younis, Sarfraz & Co. seems to be that they are from Karachi, the greatest sin in the eyes of Pak cricket. Very sad.

PCB should have selected Younus Khan & Muhammad Yousuf, Our middle order will be exposed in Eng Bouncy and seeming tracks, I don't know why PCB Board is running by one person all decisions are made on his recommendation,this is shame for Pakistan cricket that all Pakistan Cricket is in one hand. Although Chief Selector Mohsin Khan has been indicated that he have no objection over Younus selection it totally depends on Ejaz Butt Decision. In these circumstances Allah Bless our Cricket.

Squad for the tests in forthcoming England tour looks as hight of mockery to our beloved nation, proven failures i.e, Y Hameed, I Farhat, Kamran Akmal r still in the side, even hight of unfairness is Sarfraz Ahmad, the wicketkeeper who replaced the culprit K Akmal is not included, probably bcaz of his flawless keeping in the last test match against Australia. This team looks like a club level team and after that tour hopefully England will never allow Pak team a status to play 4 tests, base on agony/anger from their cricket fans, who beleive value of money, i dont know what would happen to Pak fans who r living in England and r great supporters of Pak team. PCB is kept running on Adhocism like Pakistan is managed by PPP Govt on same lines. I strongly urge to bring players like Yousif, Younis Asim Kamal back regardless reign of team should be given to S Afridi, probably he is the right man for the job, but he should have good resources to keep the Pak flag high. Good luck to PK.

Very poor Selection Test Squad, there should be Younis and Yousuf or one of them, because in test matches Pakistani players can't stay more than 50 overs, so for that Younis and Yousuf should have to be selected.

Dear Avicenna Fawad Alam has no technique to play in conditions... I think you have mistyped the name!

Yet another shameful display of biased selection by PCB …!!! Batsmen like Farhat, Hameed, Amin, Butt and Malik with no technique, no footwork and finally no talent would prove too easy a prey for the english attack (mediocre as it is) in seaming conditions. Absence of F. Alam, Asim Kamal, Navaid Yasin & Junaid Khan and the selection of U. Amin, W. Riaz and Y. Hameed again proves that inability to perform is the sole criteria of being selected in Pak team.
