Sohail, Latif in probables list

Pakistan's cricket selectors named former captains Aamir Sohail and Rashid Latif today in a list of 24 for a training camp for next month's three-match series against the West Indies in Toronto.

Sohail, 33, was dumped as Pakistan captain last November after Zimbabwe notched their first win outside their country at Peshawar. Latif, 31, was sacked as captain last March after the tours of South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Chairman of selectors Naushad Ali said he still believes that a lot of cricket was left in the two players.

''They have not been guaranteed selection but we will watch them with an open mind and if they impress us with their form and fitness, they will be considered for selection,'' he said.

The selectors retained 12 members of the World Cup squad but left out Wasim Akram, Salim Malik and Ijaz Ahmad who are suspended following the release of a ten-month-old report prepared by the Pakistan Cricket Board probe committee, in which the three were named as suspects in betting and match-fixing.

The probables:
Saeed Anwar, Inzamam-Ul-Haq, Moin Khan, Mushtaq Ahmad, Shahid Nazir, Shahid Afridi, Arshad Khan, Shoaib Akhtar, Abdur Razzak, Hassan Raza, Imran Nazir, Akhtar Sarfaraz, Aamir Sohail, Rashid Latif, Waqar Younis, Saqlain Mushtaq, Mohammad Wasim, Mohammad Akram, Azhar Mahmood, Yousuf Youhana, Naveed Qureshi, Wajahatullah Wasti, Yasir Arafat and Shabbir Ahmad.
