Pakistan will play two Twenty20 matches and five one-day internationals against South Africa in the United Arab Emirates from Oct. 26.

The Pakistan Cricket Board said “the captain of the team will be announced later.” Afridi led Pakistan as it lost 3-2 in a ODI series and both Twenty20 matches on a scandal-plagued tour of England.

The 15-player squad features the return of veteran batsman Misbah-ul-Haq, who last played an ODI against South Africa in the 2009 Champions Trophy before he was dropped due to poor form.

Pakistan dropped wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal and recalled Zulqarnain Haider, who flew back home from the tour of England after injuring a finger during the third test.

Intikhab Alam has replaced Yawar Saeed as manager.

The three cricketers — Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir — suspended and charged last month by the International Cricket Council under its anti-corruption code over fixing allegations were not available for selection.

They will appear before an ICC hearing on Oct. 30-31 at Doha, Qatar.

Imran Farhat, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Yousuf, Misbah-ul-Haq, Umar Akmal, Asad Shafiq, Fawad Alam, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, Umar Gul, Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman, Shoaib Akhtar, Tanveer Ahmad, Zulqarnain Haider.
