Pakistan have picked 30-year old fast bowler Sohail Khan in their 15-man squad for the 2015 World Cup. Sohail had played the last of his five ODIs in Zimbabwe in 2011, but took ten wickets in two of his most recent games, and was the highest wicket-taker in this season's Quaid-e-Azam Gold League - 64 at an average of 22. Apart from Sohail, the other World Cup inclusions not part of the squad for the series against New Zealand in December 2014 are batsman Shoaib Maqsood and fast bowlers Junaid Khan and Ehsan Adil. All three missed that series because of injuries but have now recovered. The players who were part of the New Zealand series but excluded from the World Cup squad are: Anwar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Nasir Jamshed, Sohail Tanvir and Zulfiqar Babar. The Squad: Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Younis Khan, Harris Sohail, Misbah ul Haq, Umar Akmal, Shoaib Maqsood, Shahid Afridi, Yasir Shah, Mohammad Irfan, Junaid Khan, Ehsan Adil, Sohail Khan, Wahab Riaz
