Pakistan have included all-rounder Shahid Afridi in their ODI and T20 squads for the upcoming series against England in United Arab Emirates.
The former national captain was not part of the Test squad that whitewashed Andrew Strauss' side 3-0 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi but returns for the shorter formats.
The one-day squad shows few changes, with Afridi, Imran Farhat, Umar Akmal and Wahab Riaz the only players not to have figured in any of the Tests.
Opening batsman Taufiq Umar has been overlooked, though, and will return home after playing his part in the three-Test series.
Rawalpindi batsman Awaiz Zia and all-rounder Hammad Azam have been named in the T20 squad, with victorious Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq leading the side in all formats once again.
The first of four one-day matches will be played in Abu Dhabi on February 13. The ODIs will be followed by three Twenty20 internationals.
One-day squad: Misbah-ul-Haq (captain), Younis Khan, Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Hafeez, Imran Farhat, Umar Akmal, Asad Shafiq, Adnan Akmal, Umar Gul, Junaid Khan, Aizaz Cheema, Saeed Ajmal, Abdul Rehman, Wahab Riaz, Azhar Ali.
