Banned Yousuf recalled by Pakistan

10:50 am on 5 August 2010

The former Pakistan cricket captain Mohammad Yousuf has been granted a visa and will be considered for selection for the second Test against England starting tomorrow night in Birmingham.

Four months after being banned indefinitely for undermining team morale, the experienced Yousuf has agreed to come out of retirement after Pakistan's humiliating 354-run defeat in the first Test when they were bowled out for 80 in their second innings.

Yousuf scored three centuries on his last England tour in 2006.
