Former skipper back along with Naseem Shah and Shadab Khan for three-match series against reigning 50-over champions
Pakistan have recalled Babar Azam and named three uncapped players in a squad of 16 for the three-match one-day cricket international home series against Australia starting late next week.
Wicketkeeper-batter Rohail Nazir, fast bowler Ahmed Daniyal and allrounder Arafat Minhas have played handful of T20 internationals but have been selected for the 50-over format for the first time.
Nazir and Ghazi Ghori are the two wicketkeepers in the side after Usman Khan was not considered for selection due to illness.
Pakistan ODI squad: Shaheen Shah Afridi (capt), Salman Ali Agha, Abdul Samad, Abrar Ahmed, Ahmed Daniyal, Arafat Minhas, Babar Azam, Haris Rauf, Maaz Sadaqat, Ghazi Ghori, Naseem Shah, Rohail Nazir, Sahibzada Farhan, Shadab Khan, Shamyl Hussain, Sufyan Moqim.
The three-match series begins at Rawalpindi on May 30, followed by matches at Lahore on June 2 and 4.
Left-arm fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi will continue to lead the side.
The selectors have recalled former skipper Babar along with fellow experienced players Naseem Shah and Shadab Khan, who were not part of the team that lost the last ODI series in Bangladesh 2-1 in March.
Regular white-ball batters Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub were ruled out due to injuries and will continue their rehabilitation programmes under the supervision of the PCB medical panel.
Australia have been slated to arrive in Islamabad on May 23, although players featuring in the IPL will arrive later.
