This B team talk is absurd.
All major cricket-playing countries have additional 11 players which can match their first choices.
Had Pakistan been in the same situation, we similarly could have fielded Abid Ali, Sharjeel, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed, Nauman Ali, Imad Wasim, Amad Butt, Wahab Riaz, and Sohail Tanveer. And yet could win the series if some of these players had a good form.
The Pakistan team surely has a few problems that need to be sorted out. Shaheen Shah is over-rated, Soaib Maqsood needs to bat among the top 4 and Pakistan needs a better spinner than Shadab.
