Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Drafted into the ODI side in 2011 in both ODIs and Tests, Khan had his big moment under the sun when he became Kohli's nemesis in the historical ODI series between India and Pakistan in late 2012. In all the three ODIs, Junaid had Kohli's number. He announced his arrival on the big stage with pomp and glory deceiving one of the stalwarts in the shorter format with pace and swing.
The initial jump at the start of the delivery stride followed by a smooth run up to the crease and then an impeccable release point with the flex of the wrist to give the ball the flick that gets it to move. A strong wrist position and the ability to bowl quick forces the batsman to adjust to movement at a fast clip.
However, injuries have already plagued his career and his appearances since 2015 have been on and off. Fitness concerns ruled him out of the 2015 World Cup. And in 2016 when he was ignored for the ODI series in England, there were strong rumours that Junaid, who had qualified to play for England, might as well look at that option. But he came out and cleared the air saying his loyalties still lie with Pakistan cricket.
Having not played a single Test since 2015, Junaid came back into the ODI team for the tour to Australia but his bargains were highly below par. Then the series in the Windies as well did not go as per expectations for the left arm swing bowler. He has been though selected for the 2017 Champions Trophy. A good strong performance from Junaid can certainly bring back memories and usher Pakistan deep into the tourney.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
At U-19 level Junaid Khan was among of a crop of the most promising young fast bowlers in recent years, alongside Mohammad Amir. Good pace and better stamina and an ability to move the ball around if the conditions are right, Khan finally made it to national contention when he was called up for Pakistan's 2011 World Cup squad as a late replacement for Sohail Tanvir. His Test debut, against Zimbabwe in 2011, was uneventful, but in his second Test he showed his class with a five-wicket haul against Sri Lanka on a flat surface in Abu Dhabi.
Next year he was even more impressive in both Tests and ODIs, as he enhanced his reputation as an extremely skillful swing and seam bowler, who was also pacy and accurate. In three Tests in Sri Lanka, he took 14 wickets at 21.78, twice taking five-fors and achieving an outstanding strike rate of 43 balls per wicket. In the three-match ODI series in India, he troubled all the top Indian batsmen, taking eight wickets at an economy rate of 3.66.
Junaid is from the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province and has built up an impressive domestic career with Abbottabad, for whom he debuted in January 2007. The record acquires greater sheen given that Abbottabad are among the weaker sides on the circuit. Those performances led him to Pakistan A selection, for whom he was impressive in two series, never more than when taking nine wickets in a 'Test' against Sri Lanka A in Hambantota in September 2010.
