Pakistan Cricket Team For UAE Series Against Aussies

Lahore: Speedster Shoaib Akhtar recovered fully from a knee injury to get a place in the 15-man squad for this month's series against Australia announced on Monday.

The 33-year-old seamer was ruled out of last month's two-Test series against Sri Lanka because of the knee injury which healed without surgery.

Pakistan will play five One-day and a Twenty20 match against the world champions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi from April 22-May 7.

The squad also features batsmen Nasir Jamshed - he'll be making a return to international cricket after ten months - and Ahmed Shehzad, who averages an impressive 45.18 in 12 List A matches.

Australia were expected to tour Pakistan for a Test and ODI tour this year after their scheduled visit in 2008 failed to materialise over security fears. The PCB has sent a two-man security team to the UAE to assess the arrangements for the tour, in the wake of the Lahore attacks last month.

Squad: Younis Khan (capt), Salman Butt, Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad, Shoaib Malik, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal (wk), Fawad Alam, Shoaib Akhtar, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Gul, Rao Iftikhar, Yasir Arafat, Saeed Ajmal.
