Pakistan add veteran Rafatullah Mohmand to Twenty20 squad

By , Features Editor
Uncapped 39-year-old opener Rafatullah Mohmand receives a late call-up to Pakistan's Twenty20 squad.

Uncapped Rafatullah Mohmand has been added to the Pakistan squad for their upcoming Twenty20 series against England.

The 39-year-old has been drafted in following the omission of Umar Akmal for disciplinary reasons.

"Having experience of playing first-class cricket for many years, with his form, sound technique and fitness, and also given his fielding credentials, Riffatullah Mohmand has been afforded an opportunity as he was considered to have potential to feature in an international T20 competition as an opener," said chief selector Haroon Rashid.

The official also confirmed that all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed has replaced the retired Younis Khan for the remainder of the ongoing one-day international series.
