Pakistan Announces Squad for T20I Series Against Bangladesh

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has unveiled a 16-member squad for the upcoming three-match T20 International series against Bangladesh, scheduled to be held later this month in Lahore. The squad has been selected based on player performances during the ongoing HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10, which wraps up on May 25.

The series will also be the debut assignment for Pakistan’s newly appointed head coach, Mike Hesson. In a notable move, all-rounder Agha Salman has been handed the captaincy for the series.

The selected squad includes familiar faces such as Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman, and Haris Rauf, along with promising talents like Hasan Nawaz and Saim Ayub. Other players in the lineup are Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Irfan, Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Sahibzada Farhan, and Naseem Shah.

The T20I series will be played entirely at Lahore’s iconic Gaddafi Stadium, with matches scheduled for May 27, 29, and 31. The tour was confirmed following successful discussions between PCB and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials in Dubai.
