Without Babar, Sajjad and Lala. I think there is no hope.
Without Babar, Sajjad and Lala Pakistan is very poor no hope of even final.
i would like to express my feeling about exclusion of lala obaidullah from pakistani squad that who ever is looking after the team this time, the prime objective is to send a team that can win the world cup for our beloved country. but it is regretfully stated that we are engaged in dirty politics and liking and disliking which reflects that we have put behind prestige of our country. look at the indians who have changed their captain only to choose the best one on merit and in the best interest of their,country. atleast we can learn from them in a positive manner.
