Razzaq recalled for ODI series

All rounder Abdul Razzaq was recalled to the Pakistan squad on Saturday for the first two matches of the one-day international series against England.

There were also recalls for batsman Yasir Hameed and all rounder Yasir Arafat who replaces the banned Shahid Afridi.

Razzaq missed the Test series due to an elbow injury.

Chief selector Wasim Bari said. "Razzaq had a bowl in the nets last evening and he looked fine. But we feel he needs some match practice and we have asked him to play in the one-day warm-up against England on December 7."

Arafat took eight wickets against England in the tour match at Rawalpindi.

Senior batsman Younis Khan, who missed the final Test in Lahore due to the death of his brother, is also back.

The first of five one-dayers is next Saturday in Lahore.

Squad: Inzamam-ul-Haq, Younis Khan, Salman Butt, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Yousuf, Abdul Razzaq, Kamran Akmal, Arshad Khan, Yasir Arafat, Rana Naved, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Asif, Yasir Hameed, Mohammad Sami and Danish Kaneria.
