LAHORE: All the remaining 22 Pakistan probables for the World Cup appeared in the physical fitness test here at the National Cricket Academy on Monday.

The tests were conducted in a close-door session, where only head coach Mickey Arthur and some other members of the national team management were present.

Overall, 23 probables had been summoned for the test and among them all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz went through the test on Sunday.

Practice matches involving the probables will be held at the Gaddafi Stadium on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The final Pakistan squad for the May 30-July 14 World Cup and the five-match ODI series against England (April 27-May 19) will be announced by chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq on Thursday.
