Justin Bour Angels Jersey . That means 20-year-old Sami Aslam could be recalled for the Edgbaston Test, so here is a bit of background to the young batsman.Is it certain that Aslam will play? Misbah-ul-Haq was being coy in his press conference, saying he wanted to keep England guessing, but that his players knew what the team would be. However, the suggestion has been that Pakistan do not want to offer up Masood to Anderson again. If they do make the change, it is like-for-like in that Aslam is a left-handed opener.Hes only 20. Whats his career been like so far? He has played two previous Tests, against Bangladesh last year, but made just 47 runs in three innings. In 30 first-class matches he has scored more hundreds (six) than he has half-centuries (four) which suggests he has the hunger to convert into big scores (three of his centuries are over 150) although his first-class average is a modest 35.47 at the moment. He was prolific at Under-19 level and is currently the second-highest run-scorer in U-19 ODI history with 1695 runs. He was captain of the Pakistan U-19 side when they toured England in 2013 and made two centuries in a tri-series, including 110 in the final against England, before catching the eye with another hundred in victory over India at the 2013-14 U-19 Asia Cup. In January of this year, he played for Pakistan A against England Lions, who were captained by James Vince.What is his current form? Thats hard to say, because he has barely played of late. He made 17 against a friendly Worcestershire attack at New Road a few days ago but his last first-class innings was in December. Misbah, though, said any player had to be ready to be called on during a tour. I think anyone who is here in the Pakistan squad is capable. We expect everybody to deliver.Why would he come into the side? Masood has been a walking wicket for Anderson, who has removed him in every innings they have faced each other. In 57 balls, Anderson has conceded just 15 runs to Masood and claimed him six times. While it will be a tough ask for Aslam, there is probably a thought that the innings will not be any worse off for giving him a chance. Pakistans opening stands in this series have been 32, 2, 27, and 7 - their last 50-plus opening stand against England in England was in 1996 when Aamir Sohail and Saeed Anwar added 106 at The Oval.Could Pakistan have taken another route? The last time Pakistan dropped Masood, in Sharjah during Englands visit to the UAE last year, his replacement was Azhar Ali who had missed the first two Tests of that series due to injury. He and Mohammad Hafeez put on a stand of 101 in the second innings. They could promote Azhar up one spot, but he actually has fewer runs than Masood so far in this series (39 in four innings) so he, too, is low on confidence. Moving Azhar up would also force other changes, perhaps Asad Shafiq to No. 3 with another batsman in the middle order, so the straight swap of Aslam for Masood would be less disruptive.
J. C. Ramirez Jersey .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team.
Andrelton Simmons Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have recalled forward Kevin Porter and defenceman Chad Ruhwedel from the minors as part of a five-player roster shuffle made by the NHLs worst team.

Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front. PARIS -- Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emerys tough stance with his key players is not paying off.His side is struggling to keep up with surprise leader Nice, and if PSG loses at Lille on Friday and Nice beats Nantes, then PSG will slip nine points behind in the title race.The pressure is mounting on Emery, who needs a convincing win to silence critics following three mediocre performances, the most recent of which exposed tension with some players.Sundays 0-0 draw against Marseille also failed to give any assurances that Emerys side is ready to stamp its authority on a league it so easily dominated last season.The two games before that were equally underwhelming.PSGs 2-1 win at last-place Nancy was laborious while the 3-0 home win against FC Basel in the Champions League came with a huge slice of luck, as the modest Swiss side hit the post three times and squandered chances before PSGs first goal. On balance of play, it could easily have ended in a draw or worse.It is not what was expected of a new coach hired to replace Laurent Blanc, who was fired despite guiding the club to consecutive domestic trebles.Emery, who coached Sevilla to three straight Europa League titles, likes to impose a stringent work ethic on his teams.There are no favorites under Emery. He made that clear as soon as he arrived, saying he considered each player to have the same status, and underlined that point again against Marseille.First, he took off Marco Verratti after just 59 minutes, prompting a bewildered response from the highly-coveted Italy midfielder.Im bad? Is he saying Im bad? a pitch-side camera from Canal Plus television heard Verratti asking teammates as he walked to the PSG bench.Argentina winger Angel Di Maria, who had been jeered by the crowd, was the next to be hauled off with 15 minutes to go.

He was one of PSGs best players in the last three seasons under Blanc.Matuidi tried to leave before the season, but the club blocked his move to Italian champion Juventus with Emery insisting that he counted on him.Yet Matuidi, who has made more than 50 appearances for France, has started only half the league games so far.While Emerys methods gained unanimous approval at Sevilla, he did not work with many big names there.At star-studded PSG, his long training and video sessions are not to everyones liking.His choices, too, have caused confusion.When he left out winger Hatem Ben Arfa for several games -- despite signing him in the offseason -- some players publicly backed Ben Arfa.Last month, Matuidi, Brazilian left back Maxwell, club captain Thiago Silva and defensive midfielder Thiago Motta reportedly held a meeting with Emery to air their frustrations.Under Blancs stewardship, some exceptions were made for key players. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, for example, was occasionally allowed to go back home to his native Sweden on hunting trips, while Silva enjoyed tailor-made modifications to his training program.Players listen to you when you have won their respect, Emery said Saturday in an interview with Le Parisien newspaper. Right now, we havent reached that point. But it comes through hard work and results. ' ' '
