West Indies team has given strong warning before next match. They showed how well they can bat and bowl in practice match against Pakistan Shaheens. Alick Athanaze scored 99 runs and Amir Jangoo scored 63 runs helping their team get good total of 346 runs. West Indies bowlers were just as good with Kevin Sinclair getting 3 wickets and Jayden Seales and Gudakesh Motie getting 2 wickets each. They stopped Pakistan from scoring a lot and got 9 of their players out for 212 runs. This very good performance shows that West Indies team is very strong and should not be taken lightly.
Muhammad Abbas who find his way back in team after 3 years and gave good performance in two test against South Africa is dropped once again from the squad. Abbas picked 10 wickets in two test series. Muhammad Ali has been recalled once again in the team, he has picked 6 wickets in his 7 innings. It's difficult to digest why Abbas has been dropped despite giving good performance in South Africa. Fast bowler Kashif Ali has been included in the squad for the first time. Three spinners were included in the squad, which means Pakistan will rely mainly on spinners.
This series will be very tough for Pakistan International test cricket team because they are doing decisions on the reference basis and now Iam thinking that Pak team will lose this series and credit will go to the management because they are selecting the third class team . I think there should be only players which are in excellent form but Pak selectors only want money and they only want more money and after the selection of merit team ,they will get nothing. Pak spinners will be flop on these wickets and Pak will lose and draw these test matches and I know West Indies is not quality team but Pak team will lose due to bad decisions of authority.West Indies International test cricket team will try to win this match as they will play in the foreign country but Pak selectors are not loyal to the country.
