AUS vs PAK series: Babar, Shaheen, Naseem return to Pakistan team for series against Australia
The Hindu
Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah return to Pakistan team for white-ball series in Australia.
Former captain Babar Azam, pacers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah on Sunday (October 27, 2024) returned to the Pakistan team for the upcoming white-ball series in Australia after being sidelined for two Tests against England.
The Pakistani selectors announced the One-Day International and T20I squads for the tours of Australia and Zimbabwe starting next month.
Many new faces have been brought into the squads, while senior players like Fakhar Zaman and Shadab Khan missed out on selection.
Fakhar is facing an inquiry from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for tweeting in support of Babar before the selectors dropped him for the England Tests.
The chairman of the PCB, Mohsin Naqvi, will announce the new captains for the limited-overs formats later this afternoon at a media conference.
Wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha are expected to be named the new white-ball skippers.
In some bold steps, the selectors have decided to use the ODIs and T20s in Zimbabwe to test new players.
