LAHORE: Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has joined the ODI squad in New Zealand after initially being dropped from the format for a three-match series against the Black Caps.

Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi were named in the T20I squad but sidelined for the ODI series because of a sloppy outing in the Champions Trophy where host Pakistan ended without a win.

But Rauf emerged as Pakistan’s leading wicket-taker- with seven scalps- in the just-concluded T20I series, where the Kiwis won 4-1 as the team management had to rethink its decision.

According to a PCB source selector, Aaqib Javed had also requested for a reserve wicketkeeper-batter to be added to the ODI squad and Muhammad Haris or Usman Khan would also be retained for the ODI series beginning at Napier on Saturday. Agencies
