Salman Butt, the young left-handed batsman, and Shahid Afridi, the mercurial allrounder, have been included in Pakistan's squad for the Videocon Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy. Afridi replaces Danish Kaneria, the legspinner, while Butt comes in for the out-of-sorts Imran Nazir.

"Basically these 14 players will play in both tournaments because we want to give continuity to the captain and coach. The squad has been finalized after consulting both of them," Wasim Bari, the chairman of selectors, is reported as saying in The News.

Both Afridi and Butt are making comebacks to the Pakistan team. Afridi was dropped after playing in four of the five one-day internationals against India in March, while Butt last year played for Pakistan against Bangladesh in Multan but has since been in the Pakistan A team.

Squad Yasir Hameed, Imran Farhat, Salman Butt, Yousuf Youhana, Inzamam-ul-Haq (capt), Younis Khan, Moin Khan (wk), Shoaib Malik, Abdur Razzaq, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Sami, Shabbir Ahmed, Naved-ul-Hasan.
