This squad has been cherished by Pakistan  cricket fans due to the fact that most of the players have got the chances who are performing at domestic level.

If this is to be considered, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe also apply the same rule before selecting any side for their any tour. But have they got what they want to ? NO ! simply they can’t because every player isn’t born to rule the cricket. Even if they, they need at least 4 to 5 years to become what Babar Azam is today. Will Pakistan afford this to lose 5 years not only on just 1 player but on 11 debutant players?
