Haris Sohail replaces Umar Akmal in Pakistan's Champions Trophy squadPhoto: AFP New Delhi: Haris Sohail has been named as replacement for Umar Akmal in Pakistan’s Champions Trophy squad.  Umar Akmal was asked to take the flight back home after the right handed batsman failed two fitness tests during a pre-tournament camp in Birmingham. Pakistan's national selection committee headed by Inzamam ul Haq had called Umar Amin, Sohail and Asif Zakir for fitness test at National Cricket Academy. "The NCA trainer conducted the test of all three players and based on the reports submitted by the trainer and upon Pakistan's team management request Haris Sohail has been selected to replace Umar Akmal for the Champions Trophy to commence from June 1, 2017 in England and Wales," the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement. Haris, a left-handed batsman, has not played for Pakistan since mid 2015 as he sustained a knee injury, for which he had to undergo a surgery in Australia and has only recently returned to domestic cricket. The 28-year old has an impressive average of 43 in his 22 ODI appearances for Pakistan. Pakistan will open their Champions Trophy campaign against arch-rivals India on June 4.
