Mohd. Hafeez
Head coach and chief selector, Misbah-ul-Haq specifically mentioned Mohd. Hafeez’s name and his ability to negotiate the spinners during the post series press conference. Hence, Ahmed Shehzad is likely to make way for “Professor” who should be all geared up by now to stage a yet another comeback.

Shoaib Malik
Shoaib Malik was another senior cricketer whose name was mentioned by Misbah during the same press conference. The management then it seems will sack Umar Akmal once again and bring in the 37 year old Malik for the three match series.

Shaheen Afridi
Shaheen Afridi did not participate in the home series owing to dengue fever. After regaining full fitness, Shaheen is likely to replace Faheem Ashraf for the all-important series.
Who Else?
Hasan Ali too might make it to the squad if selectors feel that he is match fit and in good rhythm again. Similarly, rumors suggest that Misbah and company are seriously pondering the idea of either selecting Sharjeel Khan or Abid Ali for Pakistan’s T20 series in Australia.
