There are strong chances that all-rounder Shoaib Malik is likely to regain his place in the Pakistan team as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) integrity committee has summoned him on Aug 15 to defend himself in connection with the charges levelled against him which led to his ouster from the national squad.
Dawn learnt on Saturday that the name of the all-rounder was included in the standbys list after the PCB convened its integrity committee meeting.
Also, the integrity committee has summoned leg-spinner Danish Kaneria on Aug 15. He will have to submit the opinion of his British lawyer before the committee on the order of the Sindh High Court which will hold hearing of the case on Aug 18.
On the other hand, Malik will have to give a clear reply about the transaction of a large amount of money transferred into his account in a foreign bank.
However, it seems the road has almost been cleared for Malik to be part of the national team in the near future.
First, Malik’s name was included in the standbys list considered by many as a big favour then the integrity committee called its meeting on Aug 15, a day before the national training camp begins here to prepare the team for the tour of Zimbabwe, starting from Aug 26.

Sources said Malik is likely to regain his place in the national side because the team needs an experienced all-rounder, especially, against strong opponents like Sri Lanka and England, who will meet Pakistan after the series of Zimbabwe.
