Fast bowler Umar Gul was on Sunday included in the Pakistan squad for the one-day international series against Bangladesh.

Gul has been out of action for four months with a back injury but returns for the first two games of the five-match contest, which was scheduled after Australia pulled out of a tour of Pakistan over security concerns.

“The squad is for the first two matches and as the series progresses we will consider those players who are doing well in the domestic cricket,” said Pakistan’s chief selector Salahuddin Ahmed.

The Pakistan squad is: S Malik (captain), S Butt, N Jamshed, Y Khan, M Yousuf, Misbah-ul-Haq, S Afridi, K Akmal, U Gul, S Tanvir, R Iftikhar, S Khan, W Riaz, F Alam, B Khan, S Ahmed.
