The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the squad for the upcoming white ball tours of Australia and Zimbabwe on Sunday. The team is set to play three ODIs and three T20Is in each country.
Although the captain for the sides has not been revealed, Pakistan has decided to bring back their star trio of Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah. These players were rested during the last two Tests against England but will now join the squad for the tour of Australia. However, they will not be part of the contingent traveling to Zimbabwe.
Experienced wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan will be participating in the matches in Australia and the ODIs in Zimbabwe. However, he will be rested for the T20Is in Zimbabwe.
In addition to the established players, the team also includes some domestic performers and players on the fringes of the Pakistan white ball squads. Haseebullah, Haris Rauf, Muhammad Irfan Khan, and Salman Ali Agha will be part of the squads from the beginning of the Australia tour until the end of the Zimbabwe tour.
The Australia tour is scheduled to take place from November 4th to November 18th, while the matches in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, will be held from November 24th to December 5th.
