Shoaib fit for Glasgow one-dayers

Paceman Shoaib Akhtar has been named in Pakistan's 15-man squad for one-day matches against India and Scotland in Glasgow next month.

Shoaib has played just one Test and four one-dayers since February 2006 because of recurring fitness problems.

Shoaib was prevented from playing in the Afro-Asia Cup series but secured his place on Pakistan's tour after proving his fitness at a training camp.

Shoaib Malik will captain the team in the matches on 1 July and 3 July.


Pakistan squad: Shoaib Malik (capt); Shahid Afridi; Younis Khan; Mohammad Yousuf; Yasir Hameed; Fawad Alam; Salman Butt; Imran Nazir; Abdul Razzaq; Kamran Akmal; Shoaib Akhtar; Mohammad Sami; Mohammad Asif; Umar Gul; Iftikhar Anjum
