Pakistan have named a 16-man squad for the Tri-Nation One Day International series in Bangladesh which begins on June 8th.

"We have picked the best possible squad for what would be a tough tournament," chief selector Salahuddin Ahmed said.

"We have also picked a few young players to give them exposure."

Left-arm fast bowler Wahab Riaz and batsman Nomanullah are included.

Pakistan: Shoaib Malik (Capt), Salman Butt, Nasir Jamshed, Younus Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal, Mohammad Asif, Umar Gul, Sohail Tanvir, Rao Iftikhar, Wahab Riaz, Nomanullah, Fawad Alam, Bazid Khan.
