Eight players who were part of the squad in the Australia Twenty20 series -- opener Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq, paceman Mohammad Irfan, Amir and Riaz, batsmen Asif Ali and Haris Sohail -- have been dropped. Bangladesh will also play a one-day international and two Tests on two separate visits to Pakistan. "When Malik and Hafeez were dropped for the Sri Lanka series we had said that both are experienced and doors were not shut on their selection," he said. His 16 wickets in seven matches of the ongoing Big Bash Twenty20 league in Australia opened his way on to the team. Squad: Babar Azam (captain), Ahsan Ali, Amad Butt, Haris Rauf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Khusdil Shah, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Rizwan, Musa Khan, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Usman Qadir.
