Lahore: Pakistan have recalled Ahmed Shehzad, Umar Akmal and Faheem Ashraf for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka beginning Saturday.
- Ahmed last featured in a T20I in June 2018 against Scotland, while Umar's last appearance in the same format was in September 2016 against the West Indies. Faheem last played for Pakistan in a five-match away ODI series against England in May this year.
- The trio have replaced Abid Ali, Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq who are currently part of the ODI squad. Imam has been left out of the T20I side due to an injury he sustained in his left-hand while fielding in the second ODI of the three-match series against Sri Lanka in Karachi.
