My Pakistan Probable 30 for ICC Champions Trophy-Part 1

Pakistan team will soon announce 30 probable for ICC Champions Trophy. In this post I will discuss the specialist batsman who should be the Part of probable 30 and in the next part about all rounders and bowlers.
Pakistan since the birth of cricket is missing a strong batting order. Although many great individual batters were born but not as a unit. Pakistan team once again facing with same problems. They need batsman who can play well as a unit.

Probable Batters(Should Be):
Nasir Jamshed
Ahmed Shehzad
Asad Shafiq
Khurram Manzoor
Umer Akmal
Younus Khan
Misbah-ul-Haq
Imran Farhat

Azhar Ali
Sohaib Maqsood
Shahzaib Hasan
Faisal Iqbal

Nasir Jamshed &Ahmed Shehzad:
They look to be as a future openers for Pakistan Cricket team. Nasir Jamshed will definitely be the key player when Pakistan team will play against India in the group match. Ahmed Shehzad he scored a good 46 knock against South Africa in an only T20 match and every one was surprise why he is not catch for the ODI's?

Asad Shafiq, Misbah-ul-Haq, Younus Khan, Azhar Ali & Umer Akmal:
As a consistent team players they might be in the probable 30 for Pakistan. Asad Shafiq scored a century against South Africa in test matches. But he was not opted regularly for the ODI's. Misbah-ul-Haq is currently Pakistan one of the best batsman in terms of averages. He is the only player in Pakistan team who averages above 30 in all the three formats of cricket. Younus Khan disappoints in the ODI's against South Africa. But his experience will definitely help Pakistan team in ICC champions trophy. Azhar Ali, although his performance against India is not so satisfying but he will be consider for Pakistan probable 30.Umer Akmal was not given any chance against South Africa while he was the part of the squad. Misbah didn't pick him in any of the ODI's against South Africa. He will make a silent entry in Pakistan probable 30.

Khurram Manzoor and Faisal Iqbal: 
Both played really well in Faysal Bank OD tournament and made Karachi Zebras to cruise for the finals. Khurram Manzoor looks to me as a perfect ODI batsman. He has work hard in last couple of months. And considering about the way he performed in the tournament, he should be the part of probable 30 of ICC champions trophy. Faisal Iqbal, he is in 30's and if he get a chance now this might be the last chance he will get. He was in the squad of test series against South Africa but he didn't played.

Sohaib Maqsood and Shahzaib Hasan:
Sohaib belongs to the city of Inzamam-ul-Haq. Sohaib is the top scorer in Faysal Bank OD tournament scoring 475 runs in 6 matches with an average of 95.00. Not only that, He hit 10 sixes against Karachi Dolphins and 17 in the tournament which makes him more special. Shahzaib Hasan is the second highest scorer of the tournament. Although far away from Sohaib Maqsood from runs and also sixes. Shahzaib has a special power of placing the bowl out of the park. He was the part of Pakistan team in ICC T20 world Cup in 2009 in England. 

A Surprise:It may be possible that Pakistan team may announce the name of Muhammad Yousuf for the probable 30. You can expect such kind of surprises from PCB.
