Karachi, May 28 (PTI) Shoaib Malik may be in the list of probables for Asia Cup but sources say Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi is not keen to have him back as he fears the all-rounder would create disharmony in the side.
Malik is in the shortlist of 35 probables for the Asia Cup and the tour to England but Afridi is among those who don't want Malik back.
"There are others as well including some selectors and board officials who feel that it would be better for the team if Malik is kept out for the moment," one source disclosed.
He said Afridi did not push for Malik's inclusion like he did for Muhammad Yousuf and Younis Khan.
"Afridi's reaction is natural considering that he knows well that Malik can be a very negative influence on the team when things don't go according to his liking," the source said.
