The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the team for the three-match ODI and T20 series against Australia. The selectors have appointed wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan as the new captain of the team. Former captain Babar Azam, fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah have returned to the team.
Pakistan has to play a three-match ODI series against Australia from November 4. After this, a three-match T20 series will be played between the two teams from November 14. A 15-member team has been announced for both formats. Senior players Imad Wasim and Mohammad Aamir, who played in the T20 World Cup, have been dropped from the team.
Mohammad Rizwan will be the next captain of Pakistan in ODIs and T20s. Earlier some reports claimed that Salman Ali Agha has met the PCB chairman, and he is also in the race to become the next captain.
Babar Azam, who was dropped from the team for the last two Test matches against England, has returned to the team. Apart from this, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah have been included in the team. Senior players like Fakhar Zaman and Shadab Khan are not part of the team. Fakhar is facing investigation by the Pakistan Cricket Board as he tweeted in support of Babar after he was dropped from the Test match against England.
PCB selectors have announced the team for the ODI and T20 series to be held in Zimbabwe. It has been decided to try new players in this series. All the main players will take part in the match to be held in Australia. Babar Azam, Shaheen and Naseem will return to Pakistan after the Australia tour. They have been rested for the Zimbabwe tour. The three-match ODI and T20 series will be played in Bulawayo from November 24 to December 5. Pakistan will also tour South Africa for 3 ODIs, 3 T20s and 2 Tests in December-January.
