"Sohail Tanvir retained for Sri Lanka ODIs"

Pakistan fast bowler Sohail Tanvir has been retained for the ODIs in Sri Lanka and will replace the injured opening batsman Nasir Jamshed
in the squad. Tanvir impressed in the two Twenty20s in Hambantota,
bowling economically and taking four wickets. He also picked up the
Man-of-the-Series award.
On the request of team management, chief selector Iqbal Qasim in
consultation with the National Selection Committee has recommended the
inclusion of Tanvir in the ODI Squad for the series. The chairman of the
PCB has approved the replacement.
"In view of the request from the team management and keeping in
consideration the current form of Sohail Tanvir, the selection committee
has decided that he may be retained for the ODIs in Sri Lanka." Qasim
said.
Jamshed, who was originally named in the ODI and T20 squads, was ruled out before the team left for Sri Lanka due to a fractured left index finger. The PCB hadn't named a replacement back then.
Tanvir, who was named only in the Twenty20 squad for the current tour,
last represented Pakistan in ODIs during the tour of Bangladesh in
December 2011 where he played two matches but failed to pick up a
wicket. He will miss at least the first two matches of this season's
Friends Life t20 after signing up with English county Worcestershire.
The five-match ODI series starts on June 7 in Pallekele.
