February 06, 2006 10:40 IST

Pakistan won the toss and elected to field in the first one-day international against India in Peshawar on Monday.

India dropped Gautam Gambhir [Images], Rudra Pratap Singh and Harbhajan Singh [Images] from the eleven and named Suresh Raina as the Super sub. Middle order batsman Mohammad Kaif, left arm spinner Murali Kartik [Images] and swing bowler S Sreesanth [Images] have been included.

Pakistan sprang a surprise by resting fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar [Images] along with Faisal Iqbal [Images], opener Imran Farhat [Images] and all-rounder Yasir Arafat.

Playing his first game in Pakistan since April 2004, pacer Umar Gul replaced Shoaib.

Inzamam also returned to the side after recovering from a back injury that forced him to miss last week's third and final Test against India in Karachi.
