  • Pakistan will focus on up-and-coming talent for next month's New Zealand tour, the chief selector said Wednesday, dropping three big names from the 35-strong squad after lacklustre performances in England. Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Amir and Asad Shafiq will stay home for the Twenty20 international and Test tour, chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq said. "We have opted to invest, develop and focus on the promising and emerging players," Malik told a press conference in Lahore. He said the big-name omissions were due to a "lack of performance" on the summer England tour. Pakistan lost the three-test series 1-0, and the Twenty20 series was tied 1-1 with one no result. Shafiq, who has played a Pakistan record of 72 consecutive Tests in his 77-match career, managed just 67 runs in five innings in England. Malik made 14 in one of the three T20 internationals, while he did not bat in the other two. Amir failed to get a wicket in two T20 internationals in England. Uncapped Amad Butt, Danish Aziz, Imran Butt and Rohail Nazir are all solid young domestic performers included in the squad -- larger than usual in case players have to drop out because of coronavirus. "These unprecedented Covid-19 times provide a unique opportunity to select a larger squad," Misbah said. The Test squad will be captained for the first time by Babar Azam, who was appointed Tuesday. The team will depart November 23 for Lincoln, where they will spend two weeks in quarantine. T20 internationals are scheduled for Auckland on December 18, Hamilton on December 20 and Napier on December 22. The first Test is at Mount Maunganui from December 26-30, with the second at Christchurch from January 3-7. Squad: Babar Azam (captain), Abid Ali, Abdullah Shafique, Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Shan Masood, Zeeshan Malik, Azhar Ali, Danish Aziz, Fawad Alam, Haider Ali, Haris Sohail, Hussain Talat, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imran Butt, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Rizwan, Rohail Nazir, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Usman Qadir, Yasir Shah, Zafar Gohar, Amad Butt, Faheem Ashraf, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Abbas, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Musa, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Sohail Khan, Wahab Riaz sh/wat/fox
