Pakistan have announced their 15-member squad for the upcoming home T20I series against South Africa and the tri-nation tournament featuring Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. The major talking points include the return of star batter Babar Azam and pacer Naseem Shah, both recalled after missing the recent Asia Cup. Explosive all-rounder Abdul Samad also makes a comeback, while Usman Tariq earns his maiden T20I call-up.
Pakistan and South Africa will also meet in a three-match ODI series in Faisalabad from November 4 to 8. For the ODIs, Shaheen Shah Afridi will lead a 16-member squad, marking his first series as Pakistan’s full-time ODI captain. The squad includes returns for Faisal Akram, Haris Rauf, and wicketkeeper-batter Haseebullah, all of whom will look to make an impact ahead of a packed international calendar.
