Pakistan decides 15-member squad for T20 WC
Fast bowlers Hassan Ali, Agha Salman and Irfan Niazi will be part of the team as additional players
Lahore: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Friday finalized the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup, which will be announced after the first T20 against England.
The final consultation on the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup in America and West Indies this year has been completed. The squad includes five fast bowlers, four all-rounders and three wicket-keepers.
Out of the 18-man squad for the tour of Ireland and England, 15 players have been selected while the other three players will accompany the team as travel reserves.
The 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup includes captain Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan, Azam Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Abrar Ahmed, Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf.
Apart from this, fast bowlers Hassan Ali, Agha Salman and Irfan Niazi will be part of the team as additional players.
It is pertinent to note that Pakistan is the only team that has not announced its squad for the T20 World Cup so far, on which the former players are criticising the cricket board. Former chairman PCB Ramiz Raja said in his podcast that the selection committee should announce the squad immediately so that the players do not face any conflict.
