LAHORE: Pakistan fast bowler Junaid Khan has replaced injured Sohail Khan, who ruled out form One-Day squad due to back injury.
Now Junaid is now selected in all three form of the game.
Sohail suffered pain in his lower back pain after bowling four overs during a conditioning camp on Friday.
He was initially treated by the team physiotherapist, but later sent for a medical scan. After an initial report, it was decided that he rest for at least two weeks.
Sohail was recently called up for the 2015 World Cup, where he picked up 12 wickets including a five-for against India in the opening match in Adelaide. Before coming back into national contention, he had played the last of his five ODIs in Zimbabwe, in 2011.
Junaid had missed the tournament with a knee and thigh injury, and has been out of the team since October. He, however, recovered well ahead of the Bangaldesh series after undergoing a rigorous rehabilitation programme at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore
