PCB's selection panel has announced the following squad for the first two tests:

Pakistan
1. Salman Butt
2. Shoaib Malik
3. Younis Khan(v-c)
4. Inzamam-ul-Haq (Captain)
5. Mohammad Yousuf
6. Asim Kamal
7. Shahid Afridi
8. Kamran Akmal(w)
9. Mohammad Sami
10. Danish Kaneria
11. Arshad Khan
12. Mushtaq Ahmed
13. Shoaib Akhtar
14. Naved-ul-Hasan
15. Shabbir Ahmed
16. Hasan Raza

Only surprise i think is the exclusion of Umar Gul, and inclusion of Shoaib Akhtar. Shoaib is not inform right now and Gul has not played for a while, so it would be better to give the younger guy a chance hwo has a chance of improvement rather than have a guy find his form in the test. Other that that its a good team.
