http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012 side.
Opening batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Asad-Shafiq-c46208 has also failed to recover from a finger injury.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ahmed-Shehzad-c42359, the right-handed opener from Lahore, who performed exceptionally well in the recently-finished Faysal Bank T20 Tournament 2012 in Lahore, has returned to the national team.
Four uncapped players, Umar Amin, Mohammad Irfan, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zulfiqar-Babar-c98673 and Asad Ali, have been included in the 15-man squad; whereas, Junaid Khan, who was surprisingly omitted from the World T20 squad, has made a comeback.
While announcing the squad, the former left-arm spinner explained that Irfan has been preferred over other emerging pacers because of his height, which can be extremely useful against the Indian batsmen. The chief selector is expecting the tall speedster to perform well in the neighbouring country.
“Irfan is a surprise package,” Qasim said while justifying the lanky fast bowler’s selection. “Nobody is discouraged, I know we have Ehsan Adil and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Irfan-c64444 currently is in good form and he has the height advantage and could be our surprise package. I am sure he will live up to our expectations and will perform very well.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-Tanvir-c90665, who have been dropped from the One Day International team, have been retained in the T20 squad.
Twenty20 squad: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Asad-Ali-c46178, Zulfiqar Babar, Ahmed Shehzad.
The first T20 of the series will be played at Bangalore on December 25.
