A late call-up to replace another left-hand pace bowler Sohail Tanvir, Junaid Khan has been flirting with a Pakistan call-up for at least a year now. He was selected for Pakistan U-19 at the same time as the prodigy Mohammad Amir and observers at the time felt the two to be on level footing. Khan's development has been slower since but not unimpressive, as his first-class record proves. Over the last year, for Pakistan A, he has been equally impressive. Of good pace and stamina, he moves the ball considerably when conditions allow and at Hambantota last year, took nine wickets in a 'Test' against Sri Lanka A.
Strengths
Has good control but is also a wicket-taker and is able to bowl long spells. He will be, if he plays, an unknown factor entirely to opponents and team-mates alike.
Key stats
World Cup tracker
The 2011 World Cup is his first.
Expert view
"He was as good as Amir when picked for the Pakistan U19 side and though Amir developed far quicker from there, Junaid has also improved and fully deserves the call-up. He will not let Pakistan down" - Iqbal Qasim, former Pakistan chief selector
