Pakistan have dropped seniors Younis Khan and Umar Gul from the one-day squad for the three-match series against Australia in the UAE later this month. Kamran Akmal, who was recalled for the Twenty20s, also made it to the one-day leg of the tour and the other notable inclusion is Junaid Khan, the left-arm fast bowler who had an impressive Test series in Sri Lanka recently. Anwar Ali, the fast bowler who has played one Twenty20 international back in 2008, is the only relatively new face in the team.

Gul, Pakistan's strike seam bowler, was selected for the Twenty20s but ignored for the ODIs. He had a disappointing tour of Sri Lanka, taking only four wickets in five games. Younis was out of sorts throughout the series, scoring just five runs in four games.

The selectors also ignored the unpredictable seamer Mohammad Sami, who played two one-dayers but was expensive in the fifth match in Colombo, leaking 75 runs in a thrilling encounter. Rahat Ali, the rookie left-arm seamer, was also left out after getting just one opportunity.

The allrounder Shoaib Malik also gets a recall, after being ignored for the one-dayers in Sri Lanka. Malik played an ODI in February this year against England. Kamran Akmal's inclusion was on expected lines after he was named in the Twenty20 squad for the UAE tour and the World Twenty20 next month in Sri Lanka. He last played an ODI during the 2011 World Cup. Pakistan selected three wicketkeepers - one for each format - in Sri Lanka, picking Shakeel Ansar and Sarfraz Ahmed for the Twenty20s and ODIs respectively. Both were left out in favour of Akmal.

Anwar made a name for himself during Pakistan's successful Under-19 World Cup campaign in Sri Lanka in 2006. He went wicketless in his only opportunity for Pakistan, against Zimbabwe in Canada. He is also a handy lower-order batsman, with a first-class century to his name.

However, the squad lacks an experienced seamer, with Abdul Razzaq too missing out, despite making the Twenty20 squad. Hammad Azam, rated highly by the likes of Ramiz Raja (the former Pakistan captain) as an allrounder with potential, was ignored yet again.

great decision by misbah and the selectors. finally sense has prevailed. expecting big things out of junaid khan, anwar ali, and asad shafiq this series. but it has to be said that the team looks incomplete without razzaq or hammad.

agree with adil we need razzaq or hammad
yk decision was bound to happen
gul probably has been rested to give a chance to some other bowlers

excited to see anwar ali, memories of his u19 wc "swing" matches are always live in my mind and i hope he makes the most of his chance!

If Nasir Jamshed will open with Kamran Akmal than which place will hafeez bat

kamran has played one down too so i think thats where he will play or come down the order as a pinch hitter!

I'm glad both Younis and Gul got dropped.. Gul seemed to have taken his place in the sdie for granted... Younis has gone on too long without scoring..

Kamran is bettet as an opener.. Hé is good in the power plat so hé should open

Umer Gul and YK drop was long due. No performance, no place.

Though on Anwer Ali, he is no more the same Banana Swing bowler. He was told by NCA coaches to develop Out Swing as they thought him as a new ball bowler, but in doing so he become an ordinary bowler. Thanks to his hard work he was able to make a come back in side, and best of luck to him. But expecting U-19 performance from him is a bit far reach.

Though it's time for Junaid Khan to shine. He has a bit experience under his belt as well, and that's exactly when bowler shines and bring recognition. Aizaz Cheema and Sohail Tanveer will be same old. Kamran Akmal will play lower in the order because we are in desperate need of game finishers in lower order. He may suit better as opener but he's needed more at no. 7. No Hammad Azam is a bad decision, and I just can't get it why Selectors and Board is doing that to him.

fixer fakmal is back...i'd have a one-legged blind keeper than kamran fakmal in the side....get ready for dropped catches and 'ghooomaaaaygeee' in a pre-pubescent monkey sounding yelp.
