Pakistan recall Alam and Rauf from Australia

Chief selector Iqbal Qasim told Reuters that a request by  the team management to send senior batsman Younus Khan to  Australia before the second test in Sydney starting on Sunday  had been put on hold.

“The team management had asked us to rush Younus to  reinforce the team but after discussing the matter with the  board chairman we have decided that a final decision would be  taken after the second test,” Qasim said. Pakistan lost the  first test.
