Pakistan have recalled all-rounder Shahid Afridi for next month's ICC Champions Trophy in England.


The 24-year-old played against India in March but was left out of the Pakistan Asia Cup squad last month.
Opener Imran Nazir and leg-spinner Danish Kaneria, who played in the Asia Cup, both miss out.

Also included in the team is left-handed opener Salman Butt, who has played one Test against Bangladesh in Multan last year.

"We have recalled Afridi because of his experience and for the need of a leg spinner in the team, who can also bat," chief selector Wasim Bari said.

"We had two choices either to select off-spinning all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez or Afridi, but since we have Shoaib Malik, who also bowls off-spin, we preferred Afridi," he said.

Pakistan will also play in a three-team warm-up series in the Netherlands later this month along with India and Australia.


Squad: Inzamam-ul Haq (captain), Yousuf Youhana (vice captain), Imran Farhat, Salman Butt, Yasir Hameed, Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, Moin Khan (wicket-keeper), Mohammad Sami, Shoaib Akhtar, Shabbir Ahmed, Rana Naveedul Hassan

We should let the flukes go . too many chances for afridi if they give me those many chances there is every possibility that i will be better than afridi after playing a dozen or so tests and about 200 one day matches.

afridi 6 ya 7 place par batting nahi kar sakta...wo opener hi jayega..they wanted to have another spin bowler..so they had two choices..mohammed hafeez of afridi..so their choice was afridi
Posted 16 Aug 2004

Freddy says
choice of afridi is as a bowler not batsman and woe 6,7 paar he khelay ga lugi shart
Posted 16 Aug 2004

yaar bowler aur batsman...he is a hitter....6 or 7 par us ne 10 se zaida runs nahi banaye...jab ball shining hoti hai tu shots sahi lagti hain...

Rain Man says
they picked Afridi because hez an all rounder, n agar wo opener nahin to 1 down jayega, 6 or 7 pe uska kya kaam hai, they send him early to get some quick runs in the start...
