I saw a tv news thing where ataher, Faruk and a journalist came to the show. and some one asked faruk why zea was not in the team.
This was his answer (some what in this line).
1. to him zea and reza r same 19/20
2. they were looking for pace bowler allrounder, zea is a batting pace bowler allrounder!
3. zea bats better reza bowls better but at number 8 we don't need a better batter we need a bowler who can bat
4. when the team was declared zea's form was bad where as reza was doing supperve in domestic.
5. After the team declaration zea started doing well hence they got him in the SL series (not sure why reza couldn't get in!!!)
6. All the above logic goes out the windo when they talk about sunny and razzak... razzak's experience is next to saqlain (i made it up they didn't say it). thats why they don't need saqlaine anymore as coach as razzak will be coaching: how to ball 2 bad ball in a over...
