Rawalpindi (Pakistan), Sept 19: Pakistan's selectors today dropped the son of Pakistan cricket board chairman Tauqir Zia from the team for the fifth and final one-day international against Bangladesh. Junaid Zia, 19, was a controversial choice when selectors chose him over other notable performers for the first one day match in Multan on September 9 and retained him for the next three matches despite poor form.
With Pakistan leading 4-0, the two sides will wrap up the series in Karachi on Sunday. In the four matches played so far Junaid only managed to take three wickets for 127 runs at a cost of 42.33 runs per wicket. He came away wicketless from the fourth match, conceding 46 in his six overs.
The selectors have made one change in the 15-man squad with uncapped pacer Abdul Rauf replacing Junaid. Squad: Inzamam-ul Haq (captain), Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir Hameed, Imran Nazir, Yousuf Youhana, Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik, Abdul Razzaq, Mohammad Sami, Abdul Rauf, Shabbir Ahmed, Umer Gul, Kamran Akmal, Salman Butt, Danish Kaneria.
