(Reuters) - Pakistan have left out former captain Shoaib Malik and leg-spinner Danish Kaneria but recalled wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal to their World Cup 30-man preliminary squad.

Senior batsman Mohammad Yousuf and all-rounder Rana Naved were also included in the squad named on Tuesday after the Pakistan Cricket Board's integrity committee had investigated Shoaib, Kamran, Kaneria and Naved.

The committee was set up after Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir were suspended last year after a newspaper report alleging they had arranged for deliberate no-balls to be delivered in the fourth test against England. The trio will face an International Cricket Council anti-corruption tribunal in Doha this week.

Pakistan squad: Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Hafeez, Ahmed Shahzad, Nasir Jamshed, Umar Akmal, Younus Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Misbah-ul-Haq, Umar Akmal, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Sohail Tanvir, Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul, Tanvir Ahmed, Wahab Riaz, Junaid Khan, Abdul Rehman, Abdul Razzaq, Kamran Akmal, Salman Ahmed, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Taufiq Umar, Zulfiqar Babar, Rana Naved, Yasir Arafat, Yasir Shah, Aizaz Cheema, Naved Yasin, Asad Ali.
