Veteran Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez has withdrawn his name from the upcoming Bangladesh series, and Iftikhar Ahmed has been named as his replacement.

The real reason behind Hafeez opting out of the series is he wanted a youngster “to perform and gain international experience and exposure” in his place.
