Veteran seamer Umar Gul has been called into the Pakistan squad for the remaining one-day internationals with Bangladesh.
Gul replaces another pace bowler Ehsan Adil, who has been ruled out of the series with a hamstring injury, Adil becoming the fourth player to withdraw from the squad because of fitness concerns.
Adil was not part of the Pakistan team which went down by 79 runs in the first of the three matches, their first ODI defeat by Bangladesh in 16 years.
Gul, who has played 125 ODIs, is himself returning from an ankle injury that kept him out of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Team manager Naveed Cheema revealed Adil's injury had worsened as he said: "Adil had a minor injury while coming to Bangladesh, we thought he would be fine. Today we examined him again and found that he has aggravated the hamstring injury.
"The physio is of the opinion that he cannot recover sufficiently in the next seven days, so we are sending him back."
On Friday, Pakistan added left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar to their party as a replacement for leg-spinner Yasir Shah, who is struggling with a cut on his thumb.
Two other World Cup squad members - Sohaib Maqsood and Sohail Khan - had earlier been ruled out of the tour with injuries.
