Pakistan have dropped senior batsman Misbah-ul-Haq from the squad to play New Zealand and recalled opener Imran Farhat after nearly three years out of the team.
Pakistan are scheduled to play four One-day Internationals and two Twenty20 matches against the Kiwis in Abu Dhabi and Dubai before travelling to New Zealand for a Test series.
"We have decided to give Misbah a rest and he will be considered for the tour of Australia and can concentrate on playing domestic cricket," chief selector Iqbal Qasim told a news conference on Thursday.
Farhat, 27, had last played for Pakistan in 2007.
"We have problems with finding a reliable opening pair and we have decided to give Farhat another chance," Qasim added.
They also recalled pace bowler Mohammad Asif, all-rounder Abdul Razzaq, Salman Butt and Khalid Latif.
