Speaking to PakPassion.net from South Africa, Pakistan Team manager Yawar Saeed confirmed that Pakistan will have a full squad to choose from for tomorrow's crucial encounter against New Zealand in Johannesburg.

"Imran Nazir has recovered from his hand injury and is ready to play, Misbah has recovered from the back problems that he suffered whilst fielding against Australia and Shahid Afridi has had stitches removed from a cut to his hand that he suffered whilst dropping a catch against Australia. So all in all, the boys are all fit and raring to go".

It will be interesting to see what final eleven the Pakistani think tank will opt for against the Kiwis, with intense competition for places especially in the pace bowling department - will Aamer return, will Asif keep his place after bowling an excellent second spell against Australia, will Umar Gul retain his place ?

As for the batting lineup, Imran Nazir has so far flattered to deceive, but the likelihood is that he will be recalled ahead of Misbah ul Haq with Pakistan opting for the same lineup that started the first 2 games of this tournament.

Responding to a question regarding who could be his replacement as team manager for the forthcoming tours, Yawar stated "thats up to the PCB. I will give them some recommendations and input, but at the end of the day the Board will make that decision".
