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.

“Nobody else deserves to get there. It’s only Sachin who deserves to scale that peak. 200 is a big score in one-day cricket. It’s not easy to get there,” Anwar told PTI from Quetta in Pakistan.

Saeed Anwar and Charles Coventry who held the record before Sachin said no one deserves more than him.

“It took him 20 long years to get there. He has come a long way. It’s Sachin’s greatness,” he added.”He is a man of dedication and modesty, so God has been kind to him. Records are meant to be broken. I heard somebody equalled my record sometime ago. But I did not know him (Coventry). It’s great that my friend from Mumbai Sachin broke it. I am very happy for him,” said Anwar.
