<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=6 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD>LAHORE: Pakistan selectors were Monday forced to add opener Shahzaib Hasan and paceman Wahab Riaz to their limited over squad for the series against South Africa.
Shahzaib, 20, was declared as the best batsman in the National Twenty20 tournament which concluded in Lahore on Saturday, while WahabRiaz, 25, was named the best bowler at the same event.
But neither had been included in the limited over squad when it was announced beforehand.
Pakistan play two Twenty20, five one-day and two Tests against South Africa starting on October 26. The series will be held in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Wahab is already part of the Test team announced earlier this month.
Pakistan's chief selector Mohsin Khan said both the players have been chosen after their extra-ordinary performance.
Former Pakistan players, including Abdul Qadir, had criticised the naming of the team before the National Twenty20 event.
"Why the selectors announced the team before the Twenty20 event is hard to understand," Qadir had said.
Limited over squad: Imran Farhat, Mohammad Hafeez, Shahzaib Hasan, Mohammad
Yousuf, Misbah-ul-Haq, Umar Akmal, Asad Shafiq, Fawad Alam, Shahid Afridi (captain), Abdul Razzaq, Umar Gul, Saeed Ajmal, Wahab Riaz, Abdur Rehman, Shoaib Akhtar, Tanvir Ahmed, Zulqarnain Haider.
