Pakistan has looked upto Inzamam-ul-Haq to save the Test Series against South Africa after the hosts had lost the first Test at Karachi following batting failures. What has been revealed by the Pakistan Cricket Board is the fact that Inzamam-ul-Haq will play the second and final Test at Lahore which is going to be the last match of his international career.

The 37-year-old Inzamam wasn't picked for the first Test at Karachi after he had made himself unavailable for selection. The Selectors have retained the same squad that was picked for the first Test with Inzamam-ul-Haq's name being an addition. Inzamam is also on the verge of creating history of becoming the highest run getter for Pakistan in Test Cricket as he is just 20 runs shy of overtaking Javed Miandad who had got 8832 runs. The second and final Test starts on the 8th. Interestingly Inzamam had signed a contract with the Indian Cricket League despite the warning of a ban from the Pakistan Cricket Board.

Pakistan Squad for 2nd Test : Salman Butt (Vice-Captain), Mohammad Hafeez, Taufeeq Umar, Yasir Hameed, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Shoaib Malik (Captain), Inzamam-ul-Haq, Misbah-ul-Haq, Faisal Iqbal, Kamran Akmal (Wicket Keeper), Abdur Rehman, Iftikhar Anjum, Umar Gul, Danish Kaneria, Mohammad Asif
