While naming the probables, the selectors refrained from announcing the captain. Mohammad Hafeez, who led Pakistan in their T20 International series in Sri Lanka last month, is widely expected to retain his place, especially after the retirement from the T20 game of Misbah-ul-Haq, the Test and one-day captain.
