Pakistan went down against West Indies in its opening match on Friday by 7 wickets at Trent Bridge Nottingham.
They are currently hoping to make a solid rebound with a superior group mix in the game against England.
Malik, a veteran of 284 ODIs and previous skipper, is probably going to be included squad alongside hard-hitting batsman Asif Ali in the last XI against Monday.
The couple will supplant Haris Sohail and Imad Wasim from the group that played against West Indies.
Haris Sohail could score only 8 while Imad scored only 1 keep running in Pakistan’s opening experience against West Indies prior.
Previous players had, prior, communicated shock over avoidance of Mohammad Asif in the group for WI game.
“Asif is an unadulterated hitter and Pakistan group needs a hitter in the line-up,” Wasim Akram had told this journalist before.
