Pakistan have named their final 15-member squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup.

Fast bowlers Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz have come in place of left-arm pacer Junaid Khan and all-rounder Faheem Ashraf.

Amir and Riaz had been left off the initial squad named in April but chief selector Inzamamul Haq said the team's recent performance in England was taken into consideration when making the changes to the lineup.

In the other major change, middle-order batsman Asif Ali replaces Abid Ali, while leg-spinner Shadab Khan has also retained his place after recovering from a viral infection.

Full Squad: Sarfraz Ahmed (c), Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Haris Sohail, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Hasnain
