Pakistan’s white-ball squad to depart for Zimbabwe today
A group of 10 Pakistani cricketers will depart for Zimbabwe later today to take part in a three-match ODI and T20I series, which will run from November 24 to December 5. The players traveling include Abdullah Shafique, Aamir Jamal, Abrar Ahmed, Kamran Ghulam, Ahmed Daniyal, Faisal Akram, Mohammad Hasnain, Saim Ayub, Shahnawaz Dahani, and Tayyab Tahir.
Additionally, the players who were part of the recently concluded T20I series against Australia will travel via Dubai to Zimbabwe. This group includes white-ball captain Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, Haris Rauf, Muhammad Irfan Khan, and Haseebullah Khan. Aqib Javed, the newly appointed interim head coach for the white-ball team, will join the squad after completing necessary formalities.
Meanwhile, senior players such as Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah will head back to Pakistan following the white-ball series against Australia, as they were not included in the Zimbabwe series. This decision allows emerging players an opportunity to showcase their skills on the international stage.
The series will begin with three ODIs on November 24, 26, and 28, followed by three T20Is on December 1, 3, and 5.
