Opener Shahid Afridi and middle-order batsman Younis Khan were dropped from the Pakistan squad for the three-Test series against India, starting in Multan on Sunday.
Leg-spinner Danish Kaneria is back in the side as the selectors opted to go for specialists in the longer version of the game.
The 16-member squad, announced by chief selector Wasim Bari, retained off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq, who was part of the 15-member one-day squad. However, Saqlain did not play in any of the five matches of the series, won 3-2 by India in Lahore on Wednesday.
Besides Afridi and Younis Khan, Rana-Naveed-ul Hasan was also left out as the selectors opted to go in for specialist bowlers in Kaneria and Umar Gul and middle-order batsmen Misbah-ul Haq and Asim Kamal.
"We have given the team enough options for Test matches," Bari said.
India have never won a Test match in Pakistan.
Squad: Inzamam-ul Haq (captain), Imran Farhat, Taufeeq Umar, Yasir Hameed, Yousuf Youhana, Abdul Razzak, Moin Khan, Shoaib Malik, Asim Kamal, Misbah-ul-Haq, Danish Kaneria, Saqlain Mushtaq, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Sami, Shabbir Ahmed, Umar Gul.
