The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced a 16-member men’s squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Bangladesh, set to begin later this month. Salman Ali Agha will continue as team captain, with Shadab Khan returning as vice-captain.
This series will also mark the debut of Mike Hesson as head coach of the national side. The selection panel has opted to rest key players including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, focusing instead on form players from the ongoing HBL PSL X, which concludes on May 25.
Experienced names like Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, and Hasan Ali return to the squad alongside fresh talent. The three T20Is are scheduled for May 28, May 30, and June 1, all to be played at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.
Pakistan T20I Squad:
Salman Ali Agha (captain), Shadab Khan (vice-captain), Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Hassan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Haris (wicket-keeper), Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Muhammad Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Sahibzada Farhan (wicket-keeper), and Saim Ayub.
