Younis Khan former Pakistan captain has been picked up in the 17-men squad for the ODIs against Australia.

Mohammad Yousuf will continue the captaincy job and Shahid Afridi will be the vice-captain of the team. Kamran Akmal is in the side for the ODIs who didn’t play the 3rd Test at Hobart due to his bad wicket keeping from. Khalid Latif will also join the team for the ODIs
