The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the squad for the upcoming T20I series against the West Indies, with the board sticking with most of the names that took on Bangladesh.
Salman Ali Agha will continue to lead the side for the three-match series, scheduled to take place in Lauderhill, USA, later this month. The matches will be played on 31 July, 2 August, and 3 August at the Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium.
The 15-member squad, however, features several returning pacers, including Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, as Pakistan look to finalize their T20 core ahead of the Asia Cup and next year’s T20 World Cup.
While Mohammad Haris, Khushdil Shah, and Saim Ayub have retained their places, Abbas Afridi, Salman Mirza, and Ahmed Daniyal have had to make way despite impressing against Bangladesh.
Pakistan’s T20I Squad for West Indies Tour:
| Salman Ali Agha (captain) | Abrar Ahmed | Faheem Ashraf | Fakhar Zaman |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haris Rauf | Hasan Ali | Hasan Nawaz | Hussain Talat |
| Khushdil Shah | Mohammad Haris (wk) | Mohammad Nawaz | Sahibzada Farhan (wk) |
| Saim Ayub | Shaheen Shah Afridi | Sufyan Moqim |
T20I Series Schedule:
| Date | Match | Venue | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| 31 July | First T20I vs West Indies | Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium | Lauderhill, USA |
| 2 Aug | Second T20I vs West Indies | Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium | Lauderhill, USA |
| 3 Aug | Third T20I vs West Indies | Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium | Lauderhill, USA |
With a crucial stretch of fixtures up next, Pakistan will be hoping these names can perform against the West Indies to finalise their core for the upcoming major tournaments. Mike Hesson’s tenure has begun as a mixed bag, and the West Indies series provides his side another chance to get things back on track.
