Shaheen Afridi will continue to lead the national side in the limited-overs format, bringing stability and experience to the squad. However, the announcement has raised eyebrows as key names including Babar Azam, Saeem Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Haseebullah, and Hasan Nawaz have been dropped.
The revamped 15-man squad features a mix of emerging talent and seasoned campaigners. Abdul Samad, Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Faisal Akram, Haris Rauf, Hussain Talat, and Moaz Sadaqat are among the fresh inclusions, signaling Pakistan’s intent to experiment and broaden its bench strength.
Complementing them are reliable players like Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Mohammad Ghazi Ghori, Saad Masood, Sahibzada Farhan, Salman Ali Agha, and Shamil Hossain, ensuring a balanced lineup poised for competition in Dhaka.
Cricket enthusiasts will be keenly watching how this reshuffled squad performs, especially with the absence of marquee stars. With Shaheen Afridi at the helm, Pakistan aims to blend youthful energy with strategic acumen as they lock horns with Bangladesh.
