Pakistan expands squad for 2nd Test

Karachi (AP): Pakistan has added five players to an expanded 20-man squad for the second Test against Sri Lanka.

The second Test begins at Lahore from Sunday after the first Test ended in a draw on Wednesday on a flat batting wicket at National Stadium.

All-rounder Shahid Afridi, off-spinner Saeed Ajmal, opening batsman Nasir Jamshed and fast bowlers Sohail Tanvir and Abdul Rauf were added as stand-by players in addition to the 15-man squad named ahead of the first Test.

``The purpose (of naming reserves) is to give captain and coach more choice after looking at the wicket in Lahore,'' chief selector Abdul Qadir told reporters. He said reserve players would not accompany the original squad to Lahore but can be called up if required.
