There is no doubt the position of Shan Masood at the top of Pakistans order is under severe scrutiny after his continued problems against James Anderson. 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.

MOSCOW -- Russia named 68 athletes on Tuesday it wants to send to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro if its global ban from track and field is lifted.The list approved by the suspended All-Russia Athletic Federation appears to contradict an earlier promise not to send any athletes who have previously been banned for doping offenses.Former world indoor champion triple jumper Yekaterina Koneva makes the list even though she served a ban from 2007-09. Other notable athletes with past doping offenses have been left out.ARAF promised in May not to select former dopers as it tried to persuade the IAAF to lift its suspension. That attempt failed last month when the IAAF upheld the ban.Any potential participant in the Olympics who has been found to have taken banned substances in previous years cannot be a member of the Russian national Olympic team in Rio, the federation said at the time.ARAF said all 68 met Olympic qualifying standards and registered as plaintiffs in the Russian Olympic Committees suit at the Court of Arbitration for Sport aiming to lift the ban on the Russia team. They have also been confirmed by the ARAF main coaching council and presidium, the federation said.CAS is due to hear the claim on July 19 and rule by July 21.Russia was suspended by the IAAF in November after a World Anti-Doping Agency repoort detailed widespread doping allegedly supported by the Russian state.ddddddddddddThe list of 68 includes numerous potential medal contenders in Rio such as two-time Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva, world 110-meter hurdles champion Sergei Shubenkov, and Olympic high jump gold medalist Ivan Ukhov.Olympic high jump gold medalist Anna Chicherova was cut from the Rio team after she was provisionally suspended by the IAAF for failing a retest of her sample from the 2008 Olympics, the Russian Olympic Committee has said.In a sign of the damage wrought by Russias doping scandals, the list contains a severely weakened team of race walkers and no 800-meter runners. Russia won gold and bronze in the womens 800 in London, but both Russian medalists from that final were suspended after undercover footage appeared to show them confessing to doping.Numerous other Russian medalists from the 2012 Games have been implicated in doping scandals. Two walkers were stripped of gold and silver medals by a CAS ruling this year, while 3,000 steeplechase champion Yulia Zaripova is set to lose her gold medal after being banned. Discus thrower Darya Pishchalnikova lost her silver medal in 2013. ' ' '
