Pakistan call up Raffatullah for India camp
Afp, Lahore
Pakistan included uncapped opener Raffatullah Mohmand in their provisional squad of 18 players for a pre-India series camp starting this week, the Pakistan Cricket Board said Monday.Mohmand, 29, scored 444 runs including three hundreds in Pakistan's premier domestic cricket tournament last year and has particularly impressed Pakistan captain Inzamamul Haq. He also scored an impressive 55 against England in a limited-overs practice match last month. There were also recalls for fit-again paceman Umar Gul and opener Yasir Hameed for the tune-up camp starting from January 5. Gul played last of his five Tests against India two years ago before being sidelined due to a back problem. Pakistan Monday announced a final itinerary for the Indian team's tour, which includes three Tests and five one-day games. India are scheduled to arrive in Pakistan on January 5 and the first Test in Lahore starts on January 13.
