ISLAMABAD (AP) Allrounder Haris Sohail has replaced an unfit Umar Akmal in the Pakistan squad for the Champions Trophy.
Akmal failed a fitness test in Birmingham, England, last week during Pakistan's training camp and was told to return home.
The Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement on Tuesday it conducted fitness tests on three players - Sohail, Umar Amin and Asif Zakir - in Lahore to select Akmal's replacement.
Because of a knee injury, Sohail played the last of his 22 one-day internationals in 2015 against Zimbabwe at Lahore.
