NEW DELHI: Pakistan cricket team has opted to retain senior players Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi in the Test squad for the upcoming two-match series against Bangladesh, despite earlier plans for a significant overhaul following a disappointing T20 World Cup performance. The adjustments in the squad were influenced by the advice of foreign head coaches Jason Gillispie and Gary Kirsten as per PTI report.
In June's T20 World Cup, Pakistan was eliminated in the opening round after losses to the USA and India. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi had indicated a need for a "major surgery" in the team.
