Karachi: With top pacer Wahab Riaz ruled out of the first three one-day internationals against Sri Lanka due to a hairline fracture in his bowling hand, a fit-again Muhammad Irfan returned to the Pakistan cricket squad announced yesterday for the series.

Chief selector Haroon Rasheed, while announcing a 16-member squad for the five-match series beginning from July 11, said that Wahab and batsmen Haris Sohail and Sohaib Maqsood were ruled out due to injuries. "The rehab process of Wahab is being monitored and our medical panel is expected to rescan his injured left hand around the middle of this month to find out the recovery process," he said.
