    JAIPUR: The International Cricket Council has allowed Pakistan to replace fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif, who were withdrawn on Monday from the Champions Trophy following positive drugs tests.
     
    All-rounder Yasir Arafat and left-arm spinner Abdul Rehman have been cleared to join the squad in India, the ICC said on Tuesday.   
     
    Pakistan have been reduced to 12 players for Tuesday's opening Group A fixture against Sri Lanka in Jaipur after Shoaib and Asif tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone. 
     
    Pakistan replaced skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq before the tournament with fellow batsman Faisal Iqbal.   
     
    Inzamam was banned for four one-dayers last month for bringing the game into disrepute after his team forfeited the Oval Test in August following a ball-tampering row.
