The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is expected to reveal its squad for the upcoming limited-overs series against South Africa in the coming days.
The delay in the announcement is attributed to Pakistan’s ongoing commitments in the series against Zimbabwe. However, familiar faces are expected to return for the high-stakes showdown against the Proteas.

The young core of Pakistan’s T20I team has performed commendably when given the opportunity. However, with South Africa—runners-up in this year’s T20 World Cup—posing a tougher challenge, PCB is expected to bring back seasoned players.
Unfortunately, rising stars such as Arafat Minhas, Omair Yousuf, and Sahibzada Farhan may miss out but remain pivotal to Pakistan’s cricketing future.
