Amad Butt earns Pakistan T20 call-up

PAK tour of ENG 2016, Cricket

Amad Butt, the uncapped 21-year-old fast bowler, has been included in Pakistan's 13-man squad for the one-off T20 against England, at Old Trafford, next week.

The match will be Sarfraz Ahmed's first as T20 captain after he was named in April as Shahid Afridi's replacement following the World T20 in India.

Butt, who was part of the recent Pakistan A tour of England, has 12 wickets in six T20 matches. He played in the Pakistan team that knocked out England in the semi-final of the 2014 Under-19 World Cup in the UAE.

The top-order batsman Khalid Latif is also included alongside left-arm pace bowler Sohail Tanvir. Mohammad Irfran, who was a late addition to the one-day squad after Mohammad Hafeez was injured, is retained for the T20.

From the one-day squad current playing in England, Sami Aslam, Yasir Shah, Umar Gul, Hasan Ali and ODI captain Azhar Ali are not included.
