Sami recalled
Pakistan paceman Mohammad Sami was Tuesday recalled for the tour of Australia following team management's request for an additional fast bowler, giving him a chance to revive a dwindling career.
"The selection committee has agreed to send Sami as reinforcement player to join the Pakistan team in Australia," a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) statement said.
The addition of Sami was requested to help ease the burden on the team's fast-bowlers in what is expected to be a demanding tour in Australia, the statement added.
He will supplement an attack featuring Umar Gul, Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Aamer and Abdur Rauf.
The 28-year-old right-arm fast bowler played the last of his 33 Tests against India at Bangalore in December 2007 before he was sidelined for poor form.
He then joined the unofficial Indian Cricket League (ICL) and was banned from international cricket in early 2008.
