Left-arm fast-medium bowler Rahat Ali has been roped into Pakistan's squad for the upcoming World Cup in place of injured Junaid Khan.

Earlier in the week, Junaid was ruled out of the World Cup following his failure to clear a fitness test.

However, Rahat Ali has played only one ODI match against Sri Lanka two years ago in June 2012, the Dawn reported.

Junaid picked up a hamstring injury in his right leg while practicing during the third day of the national training camp at the Gaddafi Stadium before the team travelled to New Zealand last month.
