Pakistan's inability to score over 200 runs more than once led to three consecutive defeats and their ouster from the Champions Trophy. Their experienced batsmen, barring Misbah-ul-Haq and Nasir Jamshed, came a cropper why is why Osman Samiuddin writes in the National that the Pakistani setup, including the selectors, Misbah and Dav Whatmore, lack vision and must have a fresh look at their batting to have a better future.
To persist with this order, with men who have failed to establish themselves and have actually regressed over a decade is, essentially, cowardice and an example of the worst form of defensiveness that Misbah's sides are accused of. If the batting is to fail, should it not do with fresher options?
Why should Pakistan not try to learn something new from Ahmed Shahzad's failures, or Umar Akmal's? Or Fawad Alam? Or, as the all-rounder they direly need, Hammad Azam? Or another wicketkeeper?
