Mohammad Hafeez has been rewarded for his three centuries in four one-day internationals by being named in Pakistan’s 15-member test squad for a series against Sri Lanka.
Fast bowler Mohammad Talha was also recalled after playing his only test match against Sri Lanka in March 2009 in Lahore when gunmen attacked the tourists’ team bus.
The other test specialists include openers Khurram Manzoor and Shan Masood, middle order batsmen Younis Khan and Azhar Ali, wicketkeeper Adnan Akmal, and fast bowler Rahat Ali.
The three-test series begins in Abu Dhabi on December 31.
