Sarfraz won the toss and good decision to take on field but failed in team pick
Wahab Riaz, Ahmad Shahzad and Immad Waseem need long rest
Hafeez has cleared the test but Sarfraz not used him even he is best against left handers

The most disgusting match of Pakistan India clashes history was completed at Edgbaston Birmingham which lost the green team by 124 with (D/L) application. there is number of reasons in match lost to India but the most important is the team management who completely failed to pick team as per need.
The under performed fielding, fitness problem , lack of professionalism and unpredictability are the symbols of Pakistan Team and always carry with the team but more than all those there is major blunders from the team management which showing PCB has to U Turn on policy basis.
The first and far-most blunder
Pakistan playing eleven surprised the people, Cricket Lovers, Cricket experts and every one who have bitter interest in cricket. the 12 players announced by the management a day before which was good to gave confidence to the boys, but unfortunately Junaid khan was missed and the preference given to Wahab Riaz which was accepted a mistake by coach Micky Arthur in post match press conference.
After 12 players the big task to choose playing eleven as per pitch and suitable match conditions, again on this team management totally failed as they chosen two spinners, Immad Waseem and Shadab khan against India.
they preferred Shadab Khan on Faheem Ashraf who is equally good with bat and bowl as compared to Immad also and proved himself in warm up game against Bangladesh.
Team management completely forgot that Indian team is always very good at spinners, on the other hand Indian team management made a fantastic decision by putting out Ashvin from playing eleven who is the best spinner in the world.
There were rumors about the differences between Kumble (Coach) and Virat (Captain ) but they proved there were nothing true in all.
The Use of Bowlers
It was the first major task as captain for Sarfaraz Ahmad to prove his captain abilities but he completely failed and it was also cleared by the Head coach Micky Arthur in post match press conference that chose and rotation of Bowlers is purely captains decision.
Sarfaraz who misread the pitch and try to put on pressure with Immad Waseem on Indian openers but failed even after 6 overs he did not changed the pair or single Immad Waseem with Hassan Ali who can produce well at that time even Wahab can do better when Indian openers batting on the average four runs per over.
its look like Sarfaraz forgot about Hafeez that he has cleared from ICC for Bowling and can bowl for his team. he always very good against left handed like Youveraj Singh and others but captain not bothered him.
Sarfaraz also did two more blunders in rotation of bowling Shoeb malik two overs was good as he cost only 10 runs but he was not preferred in death overs.
Filed placing
The leader of the team captain always do some wonders to avoid lost of match but Sarfraz forgot all the planning it was just because of his lacking in it, he not inspired any one with his keeping, batting and captain planning.
In the first bowling power play Muhammad Amir was doing short pitch but the deep leg fielder was up in the circle.
D/L method reading
Pakistan who was going to chase 324 in the rain effected match, but the openers was not aware about the method that if they made 120 runs in 20 overs without loss of wicket than in case of rain they were won the match easily.
Similarly Sarfraz has to manage the D/L planning as he won the toss and chose to filed to get advantage of D/L method.
Maturity and competency
No doubt Indian team has better planners and mature players in his team like MS, Youveraj and Virat but Pakistan team also has Shoeb Malik and Hafeez as the most experienced and ex captains of the team but no one asking them in and out the field which showing the lack in cooperation from the captain.
