Sri Lankan pacer Chaminda Vaas and Australian all-rounder Ian Harvey are also part of the MCC team.
"We are delighted to welcome to Lord's a Pakistani side who have a proven track record in Twenty20 cricket. Shahid Afridi's men will face an exciting MCC team comprising world-class performers and up-and-coming talent," said MCC head of cricket John Stephenson.
