NEW DELHI: Pakistan have unveiled a 17-man squad for the five-match series against New Zealand, introducing three uncapped players and retaining the controversial Haris Rauf. The squad, to be led by pace spearhead Shaheen Afridi, aims to build depth and explore new talent.
The uncapped duo of right-arm pacer Abbas Afridi and wicketkeeper-batter Haseebullah Khan have received their maiden call-ups. Legspinner Usama Mir, who was part of Pakistan's World Cup squad for the 50-over tournament in India, is also eyeing his T20I debut. The inclusion of these players reflects Pakistan's commitment to nurturing talent and building a strong squad for future competitions.
