Pakistan drops Afridi, Umar Akmal for Champions Trophy

The national selection committee today, as expected, axed experienced all-rounder Shahid Afridi and batsman Umar Akmal for the ICC Champions Trophy in England in June.

Chief selector Iqbal Qasim announced the 15-member squad in Lahore today after lengthy deliberations although the selectors had finalised the squad last week and submitted it to the PCB chairman for approval.

At the end of the day, it transpired that the selectors made two changes to their submitted squad replacing the injured middle order batsman Haris Sohail with Umar Amin and preferring to pick left arm pacer Wahab Riaz to Aizaz Cheema.
