Karachi: Pakistan has recalled Haris Sohail for the two-match Twenty20 International series against Scotland in place of the injured Babar Azam.
Azam suffered a broken arm during the first Test of the recently concluded series against England, when a Ben Stokes bouncer stuck him on the forearm. He is a significant loss for the touring side, having struck half-centuries in his two most recent Test and T20I innings, including an unbeaten 97 off 51 balls opening the batting against the Windies.
Sohail last played a T20I against New Zealand in January. He made his debut five years ago against the Windies but has played only seven T20Is in total.
Scotland will host Pakistan at the Grange in Edinburgh for two games on 12 and 13 June.
Pakistan Squad: Fakhar Zaman, Ahmed Shehzad, Haris Sohail, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Hussain Tallat. Sarfraz Ahmed (c, wk), Faheem Ashraf, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali, Rahat Ali, Usman Shinwari, Shaheen Shah Afridi.
