Saqlain Recalled
Sunday, August 31 2003
Pakistan have recalled world-class off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq to their squad for the third Test against Bangladesh.
Also recalled is Younis Khan, who missed the first 2 Tests due to family commitments.
Shoaib Akhtar commutes back to Durham, while Misbah-ul-Haq and Saeed Bin Nasir have been released from the squad.
Akhtar's absence leaves the pace bowling cupboard thin, with Shabbir Ahmed and Umar Gul the only capped quicks.
Meanwhile, Shoaib Malik is under an injury cloud and will miss the Test as a precaution.
The full squad is:
