Sohail fury at omission The Electronic Telegraph - 8 March 1999 Aamir Sohail, the former Pakistan captain, yesterday claimed he was left out of his country's World Cup plans after refusing to drop match-rigging allegations against team-mates. Aamir said the Pakistan Cricket Board told him that if he wanted to play in the cup in England in May and June he would have to withdraw the corruption allegations he made against Wasim Akram, the current captain. The Pakistan selectors, meanwhile, said Sohail, out of favour since walking out of the team during the series with Zimbabwe last year, had been excluded from the squad as he had not played enough domestic cricket this season. Pakistan World Cup Squad: *Wasim Akram, Saeed Anwar, Shahid Afridi, Ijaz Ahmad, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Yousaf Yohanna, Wajahatullah Wasti, Imran Nazir, +Moin Khan, Waqar Younis, Azhar Mahmood, Abdul Razzak, Muhammad Wasim, Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Nazir, Sajid Shah, Saqlain Mushtaq, Mushtaq Ahmed, Arshad Khan.
