Not that new. Guys like Saeed Ajmal, Umar Gul, Hafeez are quite regular and Wahab Riaz, Junaid Khan both have over 50 ODIs to their name. Also, a lot of our players too are inexperienced.

Give Them some time. Saeed ajmal is back with a new bowling action; as well as hafeez. Umar Gul just back as well. Junaid khan is a good bowler but it's some time since he's playing international. Wahab riaz is the best one of them all.. and btw if Bangladesh tours Pakistan, then you'll see for sure..

With the way England are playing at the moment, Pakistan has nothing to worry about from us!

Thats the dhoti excuse, they are scared of facing the wrath of the best team in Asia.

Bangladesh, not being in the number 1 position is utter blasphemy.

Bangladesh should play home series for a long time to improve their ranking.
