ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s team for the upcoming tour of New Zealand is anticipated to be released tomorrow, according to sources on Monday.
Insiders claim that the National Selection Committee has decided on the series’ T20 and ODI squads. Players’ fitness levels and recent performances were taken into consideration during the selection process.
According to additional sources, the squad will be publicly announced during a press conference by Chief Selector Aqib Javed. Pakistan views the visit as essential as they get ready for future international competitions.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s T20 captain Muhammad Rizwan is probably going to be fired as the squad makes major changes in preparation for the forthcoming tour of New Zealand, according to sources on Monday.
Salman Ali Agha and Muhammad Haris are reportedly being considered by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as possible successors to the T20 captaincy.
It is anticipated that a number of veteran players, including Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, will not be included in the T20 team for the New Zealand series.
Additionally, it has been stated that Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf will not be included in the ODI squad as the PCB aims to try out fresh players. Instead, wicketkeeper-batter Muhammad Haris is anticipated to be included in the squad, along with young pacers Akif Javed and Muhammad Wasim Jr.
