KARACHI, (Reuters) – Pakistan have called up Asad  Shafiq and Mohammad Irfan as replacements for the suspended  Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif for the one-day  series in England.

“Both the players are currently playing with the Pakistan A  team in Sri Lanka and will now join the senior team by next  week,” a Pakistan Cricket Board official told Reuters yesterday.

Tall left arm pacer Irfan has yet to play for the senior  team while batsman Shafiq made his one-day international debut  in the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka in June.

Pakistan test captain Butt and opening bowlers Amir and Asif  face possible life bans after they were charged on Thursday  under the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) anti-corruption  code.

British police confiscated the three players’ mobile phones  following allegations of corruption in a British newspaper. They  were accused of taking bribes to fix incidents in the fourth  test against England which finished at Lord’s last Sunday.
