Pakistan will play their first one-day international match of the five matches series against England here today.
Pakistan has selected for the national side gigantic left-arm seamer Mohammad Irfan. Although his exact height has not yet been verified, he is undoubtedly very tall indeed and the awkward bounce he will generate – allied to the left-arm trajectory – could prove challenging for an England line-up.
Andrew Strauss and Jonathan Trott have returned to the English side for the one-dayers.
Asad Shafiq is likely to remain a reserve batsman, and while Fawad Alam froze under pressure in the Twenty20s, he showed in Pakistan’s warm-up against Somerset that, given time at the crease, he can be an effective limited-overs batsman and will probably be retained. Given his greater experience at the top of the order, Mohammad Hafeez could also be preferred to Shahzaib Hasan.
