Kirsten, Sohail to lead

Brian McMillan with a strained tendon in his left foot is a late withdrawal.

Allan Donald, fit again after missing the last Test in Adelaide a mere nine days ago with a strained left hip, is back to lead the attack.

For Rashid, however, bitter disappointment was the only emotion after taking over the captaincy replacing Wasim Akram, who did not even make the final tour party.

Waqar Younis will now lead a three-man seam attack including all rounder Azhar Mahmood and Mohammad Akram.
