The veteran batsman's ability to scrap and take on the short ball will be a huge asset as Pakistan attempt to rebuild after the damage caused by the spot-fixing scandal Since England and Pakistan last met — or acrimoniously clashed — in September 2010, Pakistan have assembled a virtually new team. It is just as good as their previous team in cricket terms and better, one trusts, in ethical terms.
Pakistan concluded their training camp in Lahore yesterday and fly to Dubai tomorrow for their Test series against England. The ‘host’ country will be favourites to win the one-day series of five 50-over internationals, and while England have to be favoured to win the three-Test series, it is not by much: at the moment 1-0 to England looks the likeliest result.
This is a remarkable tribute to Pakistan’s ability to regenerate their cricket, thanks to their depth of resources, and makes you wonder what the Test rankings would be if the whole world were at peace.
Take away all but three players from England or India or any other country, and you would not have a team that could win six and lose one of their next 12 Tests, as Pakistan have done since their captain Salman Butt orchestrated the spot-fixing in the Lord’s Test of August 2010.
Pakistan’s new team could even claim to be better than the one they have replaced, and not simply on ethical grounds.
