Shoaib Akhtar
named in Pak's Squad for India Tour |
 Controversial
fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has been named in a
16-man squad for next month's One Day Series
against India. The fast bowler who was slapped a
13-match by the PCB is all set to make a
comeback in the fifth and final ODI at Lahore of
the ongoing One Day Series against South Africa.
According to a PCB
release, the Pakistan team will leave India on
November 1st. Pakistan is scheduled to play a
warm-up one dayer the next day at New Delhi.
They then travel to the eastern part of India
where they play the first ODI of the series at
Guwahati which is on the 5th. The tour is going
to consist of 5 ODIs and 3 Tests to be played in
the 42-day long tour.
The surprise omission in
the Pakistani One Day Squad is that of all
rounder Mohammad Hafeez. His place has gone to
another opening batsman Yasir Hameed, who is not
a multi-dimensional player like how Hafeez is.
There is also place for the young all rounder
Fawad Alam, the left arm spinner who can bat
usefully down the order.
