The change apparently coming after Asif, who was in the preliminary squad was dropped after failing a dope test during the Indian Premier League.
"We want to give Shoaib a legitimate chance to prove his fitness and win back his place in the team," Naghmi said.
The Lahore High Court earlier this month suspended the 18-month ban imposed on Shoaib by the appellate tribunal.
Naghmi also disclosed that all the selected players would undergo dope tests in Lahore on the July 19 and 20 of this month.
"Any player who fails the test or avoid giving a sample would not be considered for the final Champions Trophy squad and will also face disciplinary action under our anti-doping regulations," Naghmi said.
The list of probables: Shoaib Malik (captain), Misbah-ul Haq, Salman Butt, Nasir Jamshed, Khalid Latif, Ahmed Shahad, Khurrum Manzoor, Yasir Hameed, Younis Khan, Azhar Ali, Bazid Khan, Shahid Afridi, Sohail Tanvir, Fawad Alam, Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir Arafat, Mansoor Amjad, Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul, Mohammad Ali, Rao Iftikhar, Sohail Khan, Abdur Rauf, Wahab Riaz, Anwar Ali, Mohammad Amir, Kamran Akmal, Sarfraz Ahmed, Abdul Rehman, Saeed Ajmal.
