Malik Out of Pakistan World Cup 2011 Probables

Lahore: Pakistan selectors on Tuesday included spot-fixing suspect Kamran Akmal in a preliminary 30-man squad for the World Cup but left out former captain Shoaib Malik and leg-spinner Danish Kaneria.

The committee twice deferred the announcement of the squad as they sought clearance from the Pakistan Cricket Board ( PCB) on players who were reportedly under suspicion of match-fixing during Pakistan's tour of England last year.

Shahid Afridi is expected to retain the one-day captaincy for the World Cup.

The 10th World Cup will be hosted jointly by Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka from February 19 to April 2, with 14 teams competing.

A squad for six one-days against New Zealand will be announced next week.

The Pakistani team, currently in New Zealand, lost the three-match Twenty20 series 2-1 last week and now play the first of the two Tests, at Hamilton from January 7. The Tests will be followed by six one-day internationals.

World Cup 2011 preliminary squad: Shahid Afridi, Ahmed Shahzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Taufiq Umer, Nasir Jamshed, Mohammad Yousuf, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq, Umar Akmal, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Naved Yasin, Kamran Akmal, Sarfraz Ahmed, Salman Ahmed, Abdul Razzaq, Yasir Arafat, Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, Abdur Rehman, Saeed Ajmal, Yasir Shah, Zulfiqar Babar, Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz, Sohail Tanveer, Tanveer Ahmed, Junaid Khan, Aizaz Cheama, Asad Ali.
