LAHORE, Nov 19: Twenty-five probables and 10 medium pacers will attend the two-day fitness training camp starting in Lahore on Saturday for finalising the team for the forthcoming Australian tour.
The 16-member team is scheduled to be announced on Wednesday which will depart for Australia on Nov 27. Pakistan will play three Tests besides participating in tri-series one-day event, involving Australia and the West Indies.
The national selection committee has invited 10 bowlers to appear before coach Bob Woolmer. Earlier, nine bowlers were invited but later Junaid Zia was also included.
One or two fast bowlers are likely to be inducted in the final team to strengthen the department which looks weak due to fitness problems witnessed in the past with strike bowlers Mohammad Sami, Shoaib Akhtar and Shabbir Ahmed. All the 25 probables have to prove their fitness in the camp before being selected for the team.
