Pakistan have recalled batsmen Umar Akmal and Asad Shafiq for the upcoming three-match ODI series against West Indies in the UAE. Fast bowlers Sohail Khan and Rahat Ali have also been included in the 16-member squad. Sami Aslam and Umar Gul, who were in the squad for the England ODIs, have been excluded, while Mohammad Hafeez will miss the series due to an injury. Both Shafiq and Akmal last played in the format in 2015. While Shafiqs previous match came in October 2015 against Zimbabwe in Harare, Akmal has not been part of an ODI XI since the 2015 World Cup.Shafiq was picked after a strong showing in the recent National T20 Cup. He was the fourth-highest run-scorer with 310 at an average of 51.66 and a strike rate of 139.01. Akmal was recently recalled to the T20I side after assuring the PCB that there would not be any further issues with his conduct. He had been left out of the training camp in May, before the England tour, due to disciplinary reasons.Hafeez has been rested after suffering a calf injury. Earlier, a similar injury had forced him out of the England series after the first ODI. The injury also kept him out of the T20I series against West Indies. Sharjeel Khan, Babar Azam and captain Azhar Ali will fulfill the top-order responsibilities. Azhars captaincy will also be under scrutiny in the series, following the 4-1 series defeat to England earlier this month.Sohail, who has played 12 ODIs between 2008 and 2015, with the last one during the 2015 World Cup, was picked in place of Gul who had a disappointing series against England. Gul took 3 for 23 against Ireland but had a tougher time in the ODIs against England. He took three wickets in as many matches at an average of 54.The squad also includes a specialist spinner in Yasir Shah and three spin-bowling allrounders - Mohammad Nawaz, Imad Wasim and Shoaib Malik.The first and second ODIs will be played in Sharjah on September 30 and October 2 respectively, with the third match scheduled for October 5 in Abu Dhabi. Both teams will be looking to improve their rankings. West Indies are currently eighth on the ICC ODI Championship table with 94 points, while Pakistan are ninth on 86 points.Andy Pettitte Jersey .

Not pushing through when having chances (French Open, Doral) has been puzzling. After missing St. Andrews with an ankle injury last year, this will be his first British Open since he won.---JASON DAYAGE: 28COUNTRY: AustraliaWORLD RANKING: 1WORLDWIDE VICTORIES: 10MAJORS: PGA Championship (2015)BRITISH OPEN MEMORY: Leaving a 30-foot putt short on the 18th green at St. Andrews to get into a playoff. That proved to be the catalyst to the Aussie winning the PGA Championship and taking over firmly at No. 1 in the world.BACKSPIN: Now that he has a major and is clearly the No. 1 player, expectations rise at each major. And he has started slowly at both of them, raising questions whether hes trying too hard to get off to a good start. Coming off Firestone, where he lost the lead on the back nine, should help.---JORDAN SPIETHAGE: 22COUNTRY: United StatesWORLD RANKING: 3WORLDWIDE VICTORIES: 10MAJORS: Masters (2015), U.S. Open (2015)BRITISH OPEN MEMORY: Coming within one shot of a playoff at St. Andrews in his pursuit of the Grand Slam last year.BACKSPIN: For a two-time winner this year who already had a great chance to win one major, this sure feels like a struggle for Spieth. Never rule out a guy who putts this well, especially on links greens.---DUSTIN JOHNSONAGE: 32COUNTRY: United StatesWORLD RANKING: 2WORLDWIDE VICTORIES: 11MAJORS: U.S. Open (2016)BRITISH OPEN MEMORY: Hitting a 2-iron out-of-bounds from the 14th fairway at Royal St. Georges in 2011 when he was closing in on Darren Clarke.BACKSPIN: Now that he finally has a major, the question is whether this leads to more -- and how soon. The strength of his game -- driving -- would seem to give him an advantage on the tough closing stretch at Royal Troon. It might come down to how he chooses to play off the tee on the front nine.---ADAM SCOTTAGE: 35COUNTRY: AustraliaWORLD RANKING: 8WORLDWIDE VICTORIES: 27MAJORS: Masters (2013)BRITISH OPEN MEMORY: Losing a four-shot lead with four holes to play at Royal Lytham & St. Annes in 2012.BACKSPIN: Scott might have peaked too early this year, winning back-to-back in Florida. Except for the Masters and Colonial, he really hasnt been that far off. He is skipping the Olympics because they are not the same priority as majors, so he would do well to make a strong run at this one.---HENRIK STENSONAGE: 40COUNTRY: SwedenWORLD RANKING: 6WORLDWIDE VICTORIES:: 17MAJORS: NoneBRITISH OPEN MEMORY: He was one of four players who had a share of the lead in the final round at Muirfield in 2013.dddddddddddd He wound up in second place.BACKSPIN: Stenson has been streaky in recent years, and perhaps his victory in the BMW International Open was a sign he is ready to go on another tear. He hasnt finished in the top 15 at a major since he tied for third in the 2014 PGA Championship, so hes due.---LEE WESTWOODAGE: 43COUNTRY: EnglandWORLD RANKING: 39WORLDWIDE VICTORIES: 39MAJORS: NoneBRITISH OPEN MEMORY: Having a one-shot lead with four holes to play at Turnberry in 2009 and missing an 8-foot par putt on the 18th that ultimately kept him out of a playoff.BACKSPIN: He has put together a resurgence, and his bid for a major might not be over yet. The bigger question is who plays with him in the final round if he makes the cut. Westwood has played the final round with both major champions this year -- Danny Willett at the Masters and Dustin Johnson at the U.S. Open.---DANNY WILLETTAGE: 28COUNTRY: EnglandWORLD RANKING: 9WORLDWIDE VICTORIES: 5MAJORS: Masters (2016)BRITISH OPEN MEMORY: Playing in the final group at St. Andrews on Sunday -- even though it was only the third round. He was one shot behind 36-hole leader Dustin Johnson, shot 72 and fell three shots out of the lead.BACKSPIN: He has been relatively quiet since his Masters victory. Willett had a chance to win the BMW PGA Championship and wound up third with a 76-71 weekend. He tied for 37th in the U.S. Open and missed the cut in successive weeks at the German Open and French Open.---PHIL MICKELSONAGE: 45COUNTRY: United StatesWORLD RANKING: 21WORLDWIDE VICTORIES: 45MAJORS: Masters (2004, 2006, 2010), British Open (2013), PGA Championship (2005)BRITISH OPEN MEMORY: Winning the third leg of the career Grand Slam at Muirfield with a 66, considered one of the best closing rounds in Open history.BACKSPIN: The British Open marks the three-year anniversary of Mickelsons last victory. Most times he has played well, his putter has let him down. Royal Troon is where he had his first good chance at the claret jug in 2004 when he missed the playoff by one shot.---BRANDEN GRACEAGE: 28COUNTRY: South AfricaWORLD RANKING: 10WORLDWIDE VICTORIES: 10MAJORS: NoneBRITISH OPEN MEMORY: Opening with a 67 in his British Open debut at Turnberry in 2009, then having to wait until 2012 before he qualified for his next one.BACKSPIN: South Africas highest-ranked player keeps taking big steps toward the elite in golf. He challenged in the last two U.S. Opens, and he won for the first time on the PGA Tour at the RBC Heritage. And he is aware that the last non-American to win the claret jug at Royal Troon was a South African, Bobby Locke. ' ' '
