The chairman of the PCB Khalid Mahmood, however, said he was not aware of the development (request for substitute players).

``I have not been informed of this development. I don't know who was the spokesman (to release the news),'' he said from Lahore.

Zaheer Abbas, member, selection committee, admitted that he received a telephone call from Lahore. ``But I have asked for details about the injuries. Hopefully, we will reach a decision (about the replacements) on Tuesday afternoon.''

Further queries revealed that the PCB has contacted middle-order batsman Akhtar Sarfaraz, allrounder Abdul Razzak, and paceman Aqib Javed.
