Opener Salman Butt [Images] has been excluded from Pakistan's 14-member squad that will play India in two one-day internationals later this month in Abu Dhabi.

Butt was dropped by Pakistan's selectors after a string of poor scores in the series against India and in Sri Lanka [Images].

Uncapped left arm spinner Abdul Rahman was named in the touring squad for the matches on April 18 and 19.

The first one dayer is being played to aid victims of the October 8 earthquake that caused major devastation in parts of northern Pakistan. The proceeds from the second game will be shared by the two boards.

"We will donate 75 percent of the earnings of the first match for the Pakistani earthquake victims in the President's relief fund and 25 percent will go to those affected by the quake in India," a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official Asad Mustafa told Reuters.

This is the first time that one-day internationals sanctioned by the International Cricket Council are being held in Abu Dhabi.
