Asif to be considered for Pak's last two ODIs against B'desh

KARACHI, April 13: Pakistan pacer Mohammad Asif will be considered for the last two One-Day Internationals and the Twenty20 match against Bangladesh by the national selection committee.
Chief selector Salahuddin Ahmed told on Sunday that Asif had shown impressive recovery from his chronic elbow problem and he would be considered for the remaining matches against Bangladesh.
"We will sit down with the captain and coach and discuss Asif's recovery and selection. It is time he was eased back into international competition and this is the best time to do it if he is 100 per cent fit," Salahuddin said.
Asif made a comeback to competitive cricket last week after a six month layoff due to his elbow injury, bowling in a domestic limited overs match here.
He last played his international match against South Africa in October last year before breaking down with his elbow problem that required surgery in Australia earlier this year.
After the domestic game, Asif had said he was ready to make a comeback to international cricket but the final decision was with the selectors.
Bangladesh are currently playing a five-match ODI series in Pakistan.
