While Umar Gul and Sohaib Maqsood have also been snubbed, in a surprise inclusion, the selectors have named uncapped left-arm seamer Rumman Raees in the 15-man unit.

"The T20 team has been selected keeping in mind the conditions during Asia cup and World T20 and the recent performances of some players in domestic and A Team tours. The team is a fine blend of experience and youth and the selectors believe that team will do well in both tournaments."
