The former Pakistan captain, Aamer Sohail feels that Misbah ul Haq has made the correct decision by bringing back http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shoaib-Malik-c90088 to the limited-overs squad, even though he has been miserably out of form since the last four months.
The Pakistani spinners bamboozled the English batsmen throughout the Test series, and it is likely that Pakistan will look to spin to trouble http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026 and the much changed English side in the One Day International series once again.
The Pakistan Cricket Board did not include Shoaib Malik in the initial ODI or the T20 squad, but was later brought into the team at the request of Misbah Ul Haq.
Malik did not play any international cricket for about a year between 2010 and mid-2011, as the integrity committee of the PCB had not given him a carte blanche, following the spot-fixing controversy. As soon as he got the clearance, he was included in the
team for the tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045, where he failed to impress at the opportunities he was afforded.

“There has also been a lot of discussion about the potential batting order of the Pakistani team, but I don’t have any issues with it. The argument can be made for more attacking players like Shoaib Malik or Umar Akmal being pushed up the order,” former
captain added.
