Kamran kept as Moin's standby


Pakistan have called up wicketkee-per Kamran Akmal as a backup for Moin Khan for the second match of a triangular one-day series against Zimbabwe on Sunday.

"Moin is down with severe 'flu and he might miss the match tomorrow. Kamran has been called as a backup to replace him if required," Pakistan manager Haroon Rasheed told Reuters on Saturday.

Akmal, 23, has played six Tests and 12 one-day internationals. The series also features Sri Lanka.
