since everybody knows how selection is made at PCB, our team, whatever composition they make, will bring disgrace to this nation. they can only win against minnows like holland, canada (though canadian kabadi team beat ours pretty badly last year) and zimbabwe. history is full with examples of legends of pakistani cricket, and everyone of them made his entry into the team with the help of people who werent selectors.
