Pakistan have named uncapped fast bowler Mohammad Aamer and wicketkeeper Shahzaib Hasan in their final team for the World Twenty20 in England in June.
Aamer, who was named in the squad for the series against Bangladesh which was eventually cancelled, was picked following impressive performances on the domestic circuit.
The left-arm paceman claimed 56 wickets in 10 games for Rawalpindi.
The 19-year-old Hasan has played only 10 first class matches and is seen as a back-up to regular wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal.
Fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar was also named in the team while opening batsman Ahmed Shehzad, who made his one-day debut earlier this month in the series against Australia, retains his place.
Promising middle-order batsman Fawad Alam, who was overlooked for the series in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, earned a recall.
Squad: Younis Khan (Captain), Salman Butt, Ahmed Shehzad, Shoaib Malik, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal, Fawad Alam, Shoaib Akhtar, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Gul, Mohammad Aamer, Yasir Arafat, Saeed Ajmal, Shahzaib Hasan.
