You’ve got to feel for Imad Here is a man who has put his medical degree on hold to represent his country. His wife is also a doctor in training I believe. Clearly, one of the very few in the current set up who is well educated and with a thinking brain on his head. To top that off, he is one of the most reputable T20 players from Pakistan and can land a T20 contract nearly anywhere besides India due to political tensions. And above all of this, he just lead his Franchise to a dominating PSL...

You dont phucking play t20 and odi before a major test series. In England we lost yes and yet again we played T20 and odi before. Major test series with a serious injury crisis. Its not excuses. Its the truth. When India start losing with their full strength team despite preparing solely for a major test series without a...

10 Thread(s) Interesting... suddenly it looks like Iftekhar has become quite popular after youngsters have shown their talent.... I’ll stick to the same XI bar two - Rizwan & Wahab. There has to be a consistency- if you go for youth, you must stick to that. In any case, PAK was never expected to even compete here, let alone win it.
