Asif included in champions league trophy squad
Fast bowler Mohammad Asif has been named by Pakistan selectors in a list of 30 probables for the Champions Trophy in South Africa.
Asif, currently serving a ban for a failed drugs test during the Indian Premier League last year, last played a one-day international in April 2008.
Asif will complete the ban handed out by the IPL and endorsed by the Pakistan Cricket Board on September 22, the opening day of the Champions Trophy.
The PCB said it had secured permission from the International Cricket Council to include Asif's name in the preliminary list.
Asif's former fast bowling partner Shoaib Akhtar, however, was overlooked by the the interim selection panel headed by PCB's human resources director Wasim Bari.
Akhtar was dropped from Pakistan's World Twenty20 squad last month because of a skin condition. He was overlooked because of fitness concerns.
Wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed, left-arm fast medium bowler Wahab Riaz and opener Mohammad Hafeez have also earned recalls, while selectors have included 23-year-old uncapped left-hand Karachi batsman Shehryar Ghani.

My soul knew and loved You before I was born
And without Your mercy is lost and forlorn
Wherever I may wander down the pathways of life
My cry to You, oh my Lord, is 'guide me to light'
