Umar Akmal has been recalled for the South Africa ODI's

Pakistan batsman Umar Akmal and seamer Wahab Riaz have been recalled to the ODI squad for the five-match series against South Africa in the UAE. Sohaib Maqsood, the right-handed batsman who played two T20s in Zimbabwe recently, was also named in the 16-member squad.

Sarfraz Ahmed, who was named as Akmal’s replacement in Zimbabwe, was retained in the squad, giving the team two wicketkeeping options.

The ODI series begins on October 30 in Sharjah.

The selectors left out three players who featured in the Zimbabwe ODIs, including seamers Anwar Ali and Asad Ali and batsman Haris Sohail.
