Pakistan squad for Cricket World Cup 2011

Question

Pakistan Cricket team is going through a worst crisis situation and Cricket World Cup 2011 is just one month away ,I want to know the date on which Pakistan squad for Cricket World Cup 2011 was finalized.

Answer 1

All participating teams of World Cup 2011 were asked to name their preliminary squads by Dec 19, two months before the quadrennial spectacle gets underway in the sub-continent. But Pakistan were unable to meet the deadline because their three key players are seeking a 'clearance' for national duty. Following a PCB request, Pakistan were allowed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to name their squad by Jan 5.
