Pakistan have recalled Shaheen Shah Afridi for their Super Eight fixture against England in Pallekle at the expense of Faheem Ashraf, and will bat first after Salman Agha won the toss on a fresh pitch.

Afridi's nine overs at the T20 World Cup have cost 101 runs and he has been left out for consecutive matches after Pakistan's heavy defeat to India in Colombo, including their no-result against New Zealand to start the Super Eight stage. But he has been recalled to face England, perhaps due to their top order's perceived vulnerability against left-arm seam.
