England are due to name their squads for Twenty20 and one-day series against Pakistan at midday (1100 GMT) on Tuesday despite the spot-fixing row engulfing the tourists. Following allegations Pakistan bowled no-balls to order during England's series clinching fourth Test win at Lord's, as a result of a newspaper sting, there were calls for the two Twenty20s matches in Cardiff on Sunday and Tuesday and the subsequent five one-dayers to be scrapped. But Pakistan have been adamant the limited overs matches will go ahead and England's impending announcement suggests they will be played as scheduled. England Test wicketkeeper Matt Prior, in fine form with the bat in the five-day format, will hope for a recall into the one-day squad having been displaced by Craig Kieswetter for the matches against Bangladesh. Kevin Pietersen has been below his best in Test cricket during recent matches but should retain his place having been named player of the tournament during England's victorious World Twenty20 campaign in the Caribbean. Pakistan's next match is a tour game against county side in Taunton, southwest England, on Thursday. |
