It may be recalled that national cricketer Sohaib Maqsood has been dropped from the T20 World Cup squad and has been replaced by all-rounder Shoaib Malik.
Sohaib Maqsood suffered a back injury during the National Twenty20, after which his participation in the World Cup was called into question.
The PCB says that Shoaib Malik has been included in the team as a replacement for Sohaib Maqsood.
