ISLAMABAD: Pakistan opening batsman Mohammad Hafeez has been ruled out of the remaining three one-day internationals and one-off Twenty20 against England due to calf injury.

The Pakistan Cricket Board says in a statement that Hafeez hurt his left calf before Saturday's second ODI at Lord's.

The team management has asked for Hafeez to be replaced by fast bowler Mohammad Irfan before the third ODI on Tuesday.

Hafeez has had a poor run on tour, scoring only 102 runs in the first three tests before being dropped for the fourth test at The Oval, which Pakistan won to level the series.

He scored only 11 runs in the first rain-affected ODI at Southampton, where Pakistan lost.-AP
