The Pakistan cricket team is making important changes to its squad before the matches against Australia and the tour of Zimbabwe. Key players Babar Azam, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Shah Afridi are returning for the series against Australia, which will greatly help the team. Their experience will be vital as Pakistan aims to compete well against a strong Australian team.
However, Babar Azam and some other players will be rested for the tour to Zimbabwe, right after the Australian series. This strategy will help them manage their fitness and be ready for future games.
Wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan will play in both the matches against Australia and the one-day internationals (ODIs) against Zimbabwe. His strong performance has made him an important part of the team. However, Rizwan will not play in the T20 matches during the Zimbabwe tour so that the team can keep players fresh and performing well.
This careful planning shows how Pakistan wants to stay competitive while making sure its key players are rested for upcoming challenges. As the team prepares for these important series, fans are excited to see how these decisions will affect their performance on the field.
PCB has announced the squad for both the tours but they are yet to announce their captain. According to a report, the officials of the Pakistan Cricket Board will announce the name of the captain by today’s evening in a press conference.
