Malik was banned in 2000 by the Pakistan Cricket Board on the recommendations of a judicial committee that held an inquiry into match-fixing allegations.
However, he was still named in the Pakistan veterans squad leaving for a tour of Sri Lanka later on Friday.
The President of the Pakistan Veterans Cricket Association, Fawad Ijaz Khan, said they had hurriedly withdrawn Malik from the party.
"We didn`t know he was still under a ban. We were informed by the President of the Punjab Veterans Cricket Association about this," Ijaz told Reuters.
End.
