However, the squad that will be further trimmed for the premier tournament in the Caribbean was missing two interesting names.

Shoaib Akhtar's hopes of a return were dashed as he was left out of the preliminary squad because of his lack of playing the game. Sohail Tanvir is supposedly scheduled to undergo a knee surgery which would put his participation in serious doubt.

Imran Nazir, Imran Farhat, Khalid Latif, Mohammad Hafeez, Salman Butt, Shahzaib Hassan, Shoaib Malik, Umar Akmal, Naveed Yasin, Hasan Raza, Kamran Younis, Misbahul Haq, Babar Azam, Fawad Alam (middle order batsmen), Abdul Razzaq, Shahid Afridi, Yasir Arafat, Hammad Azam, Rana Naveedul Hasan, Umar Gul, Mohammad Aamir, Mohammad Asif, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Sami, Saeed Ajmal, Raza Hassan, Abdul Rehman, Kamran Akmal, Sarfraz Ahmed, Zulqarnain Haider
