It is indeed surprising that a test match specialist, Faisal Iqbal, was ignored for first test and an untested Ayub was drafted. Faisal was indeed one of the best players against spin bowling. Moreover, It is also surprising that selectors ignored Hammad Azam, which is the best available talent in the country for 5day cricket.
Hafeez and Junaid should be dropped. Sami and Faisal Iqbal should be in.
