When a new set of selectors were assigned, I thought that there would perhaps be some semblance of sanity to the selection process. First they decide to hold a series of matches in the middle of July in Karachi, Lahore and Abbotabad. Anyone with half a brain can tell you that playing cricket in 40 C + weather is not exactly a bright idea. Yet, that is what the selectors had the squad do.
And now, comes news that Razzaq and Yousuf may be dropped from the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup squad. Now, while I may be equivocal about dropping Razzaq, dropping Yousuf is tantamount to lunacy. Yousuf is to the Pakistani squad what Chanderpaul is to the West Indies or what Ponting (the batsman, not the captain) is to Australia. He is the lynch pin of our batting lineup, and currently the most senior and most experienced batsman in our squad. I hope that all this talk of potentially dropping Yousuf is just a lot of hot air.
