Spin central to Sialkot plans

Shoaib Malik will lead Sialkot Stallions' 15-man squad in the Champions League with spin set to be a major part of the game plan.

Sialkot are Pakistan's one representative in the tournament after receiving a late invite following the expulsion of Kent, the English Twenty20 runners up, because of their ICL players.

Malik, Abdur Rehman and legspinner Mansoor Amjad will provide frontline spin options for a tournament where the slow bowlers are likely to play a major role.

Squad Shoaib Malik (capt), Abdur Rehman, Adeel Malik, Ali Khan, Bilal Hussain, Faisal Naveed, Kashif Raza, Kamran Younis, Mansoor Amjad, Mohammad Ayub, Mohammad Ali, N Qazi, Qaisar Abbas, Sarfraz Ahmad, Shakeel Ansar
