Because theres no room for him in the team. The obvious choice would have been to have him in place of Afridi, but that seems very unlikely now. Replacing him for either of the other two would not be smart either as Malik provides a lot with the bat, and Naved apart from recently has been a world class one day bowler. Also taking Naved out for him would probably leave Pakistan a seamer short.
