Pakistan recalls Gul for ODI series

Experienced pace bowler Umar Gul has been recalled by Pakistan for the upcoming ODI series against England and Ireland.

Pakistan has recalled fast bowler Umar Gul for its ODI series against England and Ireland.

The 32-year-old Gul last played a one-day international against Bangladesh in 2015. He went to New Zealand in January where he played only in the Twenty20 format.

Pakistan is scheduled to play two ODIs in Ireland on August 18 and 20 in Dublin, before a five-match ODI series against England, starting in Southampton on August 24.

The selectors have also included rookie 22-year-old Hasan Ali after the right-arm paceman performed well for Pakistan "A" during its tour of England.

Left-handed opener Sami Aslam has been rewarded for his half centuries in the third test against England.
