Pakistan
Pakistan selected their squad on 6 September. Captain Inzamam-ul-Haq have been suspended for four matches due to "bringing the game into disrepute" during the fourth Test of the 2006 series between England and Pakistan, and was thus withdrawn from the squad, and was unable to take any part in the tournament, as Faisal Iqbal was called up as replacement. Younis Khan was named replacement captain, only to resign two days before the tournament began, leading Mohammad Yousuf to take over. However, on 7 October, the new Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Naeem Ashraf announced that Younis would captain the side.
On 16 October, before Pakistan had started playing any games in the tournament, it was revealed that two Pakistani players, Mohammad Asif and Shoaib Akhtar had failed a drugs test for the banned anabolic steroid nandrolone. Abdur Rehman and Yasir Arafat were called up to replace them.
