Pakistan name 18-man squad for the T20I series against New Zealand

Pakistan has named the 18-man squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against New Zealand.

The visiting contingent is already in the Kiwi country and serving the quarantine period.

As far as the squad is concerned, it was picked by the head coach Misbah-ul-Haq, skipper Babar Azam in consultation with Pakistan Shaheens’ coach Ijaz Ahmed.

In the same meeting, the 16-man squad of the Shaheens for the four-day match against New Zealand A to be played from December 17 was also finalised.

Only Sarfaraz Ahmed and Hussain Talat have been added to the team that defeated Zimbabwe 3-0 last month at home. Fakhar Zaman is a notable player missing from the T20I squad who was unwell when the team was set to travel to New Zealand and will miss this entire tour itself.
