Openers - Ahmed Shehzad & Nasir Jamshed
Jamshed, Mohammad Hafeez’s replacement should join Shehzad at the top of the order as the only other specialist opener in the squad.
Middle order - Younis Khan, Haris Sohail, Misbah-ul-Haq(c), Umar Akmal(wk)
With Umar Akmal accepting the responsibility as wicket-keeper there is no space for Sarfraz Ahmed in the XI. Haris Sohail might tip Sohaib Maqsood to bat in the middle order.
All-rounder - Shahid Afridi
The leg-spinning all-rounder is expected to bat in the lower middle order, also contributing some crucial middle over spells.
Bowlers - Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Irfan, Yasir Shah, Sohail Khan
In all probability, Pakistan will play both Wahab Riaz and Mohammad Irfan along with the leg-spinner Yasir Shah. Sohail Khan, being the senior pacer, at least in age, might edge Ehsan Adil for the final place available.
Reserves - Ehsan Adil, Sarfraz Ahmed, Sohaib Maqsood, Rahat Ali.
