Shoaib Malik to replace Afridi in the 2nd Test
Monday, July 19th, 2010
Former Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik is all set to replace Shahid Afridi in the Pakistan playing eleven for the second Test against Australia at Headingley
After the lost in the 1st Test by 150 runs Pakistan is looking to make 2 changes to there team 1 would be replacing Afridi with Malik and other would be playing Saeed Ajmal in place of Danish Kaneria.The thing going in favour of Ajmal is his doora which disguises well to the batsman as compared to Danish Doosra.
Ajmal who has performed well in the last 2 T20 matches against Australia seems to be the 1st call selection of the new Pakistan captain Salman Butt who rates him quite high.
Malik has apparently convinced the team management that he can still contribute to the side after being axed from the first Test squad following his lack of seriousness in practice sessions.
