Pakistan has named Misbah-ul-Haq as captain for the test, one-day and Twenty20 teams against Zimbabwe.

The selectors also named three uncapped players — middle-order batsman Ramiz Raja, legspinner Yasir Shah and fast bowler Aizaz Cheema — in the 16-member squad.

Chief selector Mohsin Khan says senior players Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz and Abdur Rehman have been rested for the tour of Zimbabwe in September during which Pakistan plays one test match, three ODIs and two Twenty20 games.

Left-arm fast bowler Sohail Tanvir, wicketkeeper Adnan Akmal and opening batsman Imran Farhat, who all missed the series against West Indies, have been recalled.
