Cricket: Pakistani pacer Imran Khan to replace Sohail Khan for Bangladesh test-series

Fast bowler Imran Khan will replace Sohail Khan, who has not recovered sufficiently from his back injury, for the two-test series in Bangladesh, the Pakistan Cricket Board said.

The 31-year-old Sohail suffered back spasms and missed the three-match one-day international series, which Pakistan lost having gone down in the first two matches. Imran, 27, has played three tests for Pakistan, who have also lost Sohaib Maqsood and leg-spinner Yasir Shah for the Bangladesh tour through injuries.

The first of the two tests start in Khulna on April 28 with the second match in Dhaka from May 6.
