according to Chief Selector Mr. Moeen Khan
While announcing the squad, chairman selection committee, Moin Khan said:
“The squad for the Twenty20 match against Afghanistan is a balanced one – a decent blend of seniors of proven caliber but trying to regain fitness and form as well as youngsters knocking at the door of international cricket on the back of performances in our first class cricket.
“The inclusion of Umar Gul is part of the selection panel’s strategy of slowly bringing him back into international cricket. Umar is an experienced campaigner who has recently struggled with a knee injury, but his 23 wickets in 102 overs in the ongoing Quaid-e-Azam Trophy is an indication that he is getting up to speed in terms of being match-fit as well as wicket-taking form”.
