Shakib ul Hassan saga is also having very serious impact on this team performance he was a good player but just because of his behaviour now he is losing all respect and better future right now he is gaining money nothing else good in his credit.
The only concerns is his physical fitness, he was injured during the World Cup which had an impact on how they performed after that. I am not sure about his behavior and whether that is having an impact. He is the best player from Bangladesh ever and he should be given that respect which i think is lacking from the administrators as he is always fighting with the board.

So far Pakistan has announced only T20 squad. Hassan Ali is still part of the team, the only change is Hafeez is replaced by Iftikhar Ahmed. Hafeez voluntary refused to be part of this squad, leaving slot for young player. I was hoping same from Malik but he is going with squad.
It very sad to see Bangladesh team not performing good in any format. Hope they will take this opportunity to revive there performance.
Hasan Ali had a bad tournament but he was performing well before that, you should not crucify a player from one bad tournament and more over the UAE pitches were not helping seam bowlers, you need to be express quick or have subtle variations to be a good bowler in those pitches.
Shoaib Malik and Hafeez must be given the freedom on what they want to do with their career. You cannot replace them all of a sudden because of age, they are still performing well and if Pakistan can find a potential player that could replace him, then we can think about replacing him.
