  • Hafeez ruled out of west indies ODI's
Mohammad Hafeez, Pakistan all-
rounder, is set to miss next month's
One-Day International (ODI) series
against West Indies after having failed
to sufficiently recover from the calf
muscle injury, sustained during the
recent England tour.

Hafeez was diagnosed with a calf
injury before the second ODI, played at
Lord's, which ruled the batsman out
for the rest of the England tour. He is
currently undergoing rehabilitation
but has been told to rest for a further
period of three weeks - effectively
ruling him out of the three-match ODI
series and casting doubts over his
availability for Pakistan's first ever
day-night Test, due to be played in
Dubai, from October 13th.
"He is undergoing a rehab programme
at the national cricket academy but
needs a further three weeks to make a
complete recovery," Dr Muhammad
Riaz, who is on the Pakistan Cricket
Board medical panel, said.

Pakistan retains Azhar Ali as ODI skipper for West Indies series

Pakistan on Monday announced Azhar Ali will lead the one-day team in their forthcoming series against the West Indies, despite calls for his removal following a 4-1 ODI defeat against England earlier this month.

Azhar has been widely criticised for his unimaginative captaincy since taking over from Misbah-ul-Haq, who retired from the 50-over format following the World Cup last year.

He has led his country to 15 losses in 25 matches, with nine wins and one no result. The team have dropped to ninth in the one-day rankings.

Sarfraz Ahmed, who had been tipped to replace Azhar as one-day skipper, will lead the side in the three-match Twenty20 series starting in Dubai from Friday.

That will be followed by three one-day matches with Azhar as captain and as many Tests -- all in the United Arab Emirates, where Pakistan have played most of their home matches since 2009 for security reasons.

Media had reported that the Pakistan Cricket Board wanted Azhar to step down but he resisted the move.

PCB chief operating officer Subhan Ahmed said a decision on whether to give former Twenty20 captain Shahid Afridi and off-spinner Saeed Ajmal a farewell match would be taken at a meeting on September 26.

There were reports the PCB`s selection committee headed by former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq wanted to give Afridi a swansong match, but the move was opposed by other officials.

Afridi stepped down as Twenty20 captain following Pakistan`s first-round exit in the World Twenty20 in India in April. He vowed to continue as a player but has not been picked since.

Ajmal has lost his place in the team after failing to deliver wickets with a remodelled action following a chucking suspension in 2014.

Ahmed also said the PCB had not ruled out picking ex-captain Salman Butt, one of three players punished for spot-fixing in 2010.

Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir had their bans lifted in September last year. But so far only Amir, who was 18 at the time of his ban and garnered widespread sympathy, has staged an international comeback.

Butt`s remarkable form since his return -- scoring 536 in seven one-day cup matches last year and 350 in eight Twenty20 games -- has put him back in the running especially given Pakistan`s paucity of batting resources.
"There is no bar on Butt`s selection," said Ahmed. "Our selection committee can select any player."
