September 3, 2012: Pakistan’s team management has decided to make star
all-rounder Shahid Khan Afridi part of the playing eleven in the third and
final One Day International match against Australia to be played on Monday.
Sources told this scribe that the team management, after
getting assured of fitness of the former captain, made the decision and Shahid
Afridi will replace the left-arm fast bower Sohail Tanvir, who has failed to prove his worth in the playing eleven.
It is important to mention here that Shahid Afridi didn’t play the second One Day International against Australia after getting injured during the net practice session prior to that match.

Interestingly, Pakistan looked a different side in the second
match and outplayed Australia completely by winning the match in a professional
fashion by seven wickets.
After losing the first match of the series, captain Misbah
ul Haq had criticized the lower middle order for not putting up a great show
with the bat which gave hints of something fishy in the Pakistani team and it
would be interesting to see how Pakistan look on the field in the final
encounter of the three-match series tonight.
