Wicket-keeper batsman Kamran Akmal was named in the preliminary squad after getting clearance from the Pakistan Cricket Board, but former captain Shoaib Malik and leg-spinner Danish Kaneria were not.
Also missing from the early list of probables was Fawad Alam, which former spinner Iqbal Qasim said was a bad move.
“There are two parts of the World Cup announcement, the first 30 players and then the final 15, and I think the selectors concentrated on the final squad and did not care for the 30, which is wrong,” Qasim told AFP.
“I think Alam should have been in the initial squad, while young all-rounder Hammad Azam brought as a future prospect is nowhere,” said Qasim, who resigned as chief selector after Pakistan’s disastrous tour of Australia last year.
