As I had mentioned before, the Pakistan A selection process for the Australia A tour has been full of usual Pakistani cricket ridiculousness. I usually don't talk about A tours etc, but this time the situation has been so hilarious that I just couldn't resist.
After having only 12 players actually show up for the camp in Lahore, the PCB went ahead and announced a 16 member squad for the one day matches against the Australians. Very surprisingly, but perhaps in a weird sort of way, predictably for the PCB, they left out centrally contracted players Hasan Raza and Mohammad Sami, and also Asim Kamal who has been flirting with international selection for the past four years. Interestingly, Asim Kamal was one of the players who actually was at the camp, so this makes one wonder what kind of example the PCB is setting, specially as it relates to the importance of training camps. What I would love to know, is how many of the 12 players who showed up to camp were actually selected for the Australia A squad!
