The selectors have decided NOT to allow members to imitate players. So, usy57_pak, RoboRocks, Wildwil and Bilal91, the answer is unfortunately no.

The selectors will be announcing the Test match squad this evening. The Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar WILL be in that squad, despite missing out on the One-day International one.

Pakistan are scheduled to announce their squad shortly. Meanwhile, the ICC World XI squad has landed in Lahore.

After settling into their hotel before the first One-day International, the ICC World XI arranged a press conference to talk to the media for the first time. The captain, Adam Gilchrist, was interviewed by ARY Digital.

ARY Digital: "Good afternoon, Adam. Are you surprised that you have been selected as captain of the ICC World XI's One-day International team?"

Adam Gilchrist: "Yes, I was. Shaun Pollock is a great leader so it was a nice surprise to be selected as captain instead of him!"

ARY Digital: "Are there any security fears ahead of the first One-day International?"

Adam Gilchrist: "None what so ever. We have come to Pakistan purely to focus on this series."

ARY Digital: "That's nice to hear. Thank you, Adam."

Adam Gilchrist: "It was a pleasure."
