Left-arm fast bowler Sohail Tanvir has been called in to assist Pakistan one-day squad as a cover for Mohammed Irfan and Umar Gul, ESPNcricinfo reported on Monday.
Tanvir, who is already in South Africa playing for the Lions franchise in the domestic Twenty20 competition, will have to juggle his participation in that event with any possible recall to the Pakistan squad.
Tanvir met with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) management during the third ODI at the Wanderers on Sunday.
Misbahul Haq said the team had been in discussions with Tanvir and were considering using him as back-up.
The Lions coach Geoffrey Toyana confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that Tanvir had been in touch with PCB but said he will turn out for the franchise on March 19 in Centurion, where they play the Titans.
