Lahore: Pakistan fast bowler Sohail Khan is doubtful for the upcoming series against Bangladesh as he was complaining of a stiff back while practicing at the national camp. Sohail had a decent outing in the recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, which included a fibe-wicket haul against India in Pakistan’s opening match of the tournament.
