When Pakistan take on Australia in the first match of their one-day series here on Wednesday, Andrew Symonds and Shoaib Akhtar will face what could be the last chance to revive their careers.
Australian all-rounder Symonds, who was previously told to seek counselling after a series of alcohol-related incidents, has made a comeback to the squad after being dropped for a recent one-day series in South Africa.
Shoaib Akhtar has played only three Twenty20 internationals and two one-day matches in the last 16 months, which saw him mainly sidelined for fitness and disciplinary problems.He was axed after taking just one wicket in two one-dayers against Sri Lanka in February, a tour that ended after an attack on Sri Lanka's team in the Pakistani city of Lahore.
