Controversial pace bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif have both been named in Pakistan's preliminary 30-man squad for the ICC Champions Trophy.

Shoaib has been cleared to play after his 18-month ban for breaches of discipline was suspended by a high court judge in Lahore until September.

Asif's inclusion is dependant on a report from the PCB investigation into his detainment in Dubai in May under suspicion of carrying drugs.

The duo and trouble seem to go hand-in-hand, with the pair at the centre of doping scandal ahead of the 2006 Champions Trophy - although both were later cleared on appeal.
