Karachi: Pakistan's experienced all-rounder Shoaib Malik is in line to make a comeback to Test cricket after more than five years. According a reliable source close to the national selection committee, Malik is being considered as a serious candidate to be drafted into the Test squad for the series against England in the UAE.

Malik was not named in the squad of 15 announced last month for the three match series and he last played a test in England in August 2010. "Malik is a strong candidate to make a Test comeback because of his seniority and current form and because of the worries the selectors have over the form of Ahmed Shehzad and
Muhammad Hafeez and also the latter¿s inability to weigh in with his off-spin bowling," the source told PTI.
