Speaking exclusively to Cricistan.com, Pakistan Team Manager Intikhab Alam has put to bed the idea that Asad Shafiq is a wicket keeper. I asked Intikhab if the information on Asad Shafiq’s Cricinfo’s profile is correct and whether Asad has ever kept wicket.

“No, it’s not true. Asad Shafiq isn’t a wicket keeper, he doesn’t keep wicket and so he’s not an option for us.” replied Intikhab.

I then asked Intikhab about Umar Akmal’s finger injury and whether he would be playing tomorrow.

“Umar has recovered and is fully fit and available for tomorrow’s game, it’s up to the captain and coach whether or not they pick him or who they replace him with if they do.” Intikhab confirmed to Cricistan.com

Finally I told Intikhab Alam that everyone at Cricistan.com send their best wishes to the Pakistan team for tomorrows game.
