Iftikhar Ahmed replaces injured Haris Sohail in Pakistan ODI squad

Iftikhar Ahmed will replace Haris Sohail in Pakistan’s one-day international squad for the last three matches against New Zealand in Karachi, said a statement issued by Pakistan Cricket Board Saturday.

The replacement was named after Sohail suffered a shoulder injury on the eve of the first ODI. The middle-order batter landed awkwardly during a fielding drill that injured his left shoulder.

Pakistan team, which is currently playing the second ODI against New Zealand in Rawalpindi, will fly to Karachi on Sunday.

Pakistan won the first ODI on Thursday by five wickets, courtesy a century by opener Fakhar Zaman, and lead the five-match series 1-0.

Iftikhar Ahmed will join team for the remaining three ODIs in Karachi. The ODI matches in Karachi are on May 3, 5 and 7.
