Pakistan on Tuesday named a 15-member squad for its three-match Twenty20 International series in Bangladesh, retaining middle-order batter Salman Ali Agha as captain. The tour opens on 20 July at Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, with the remaining fixtures slated for 22 and 24 July at the same venue. The selectors have omitted senior trio Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi as part of an ongoing rotation policy. Vice-captain Shadab Khan and fast bowler Haris Rauf are out through injury, while uncapped seamer Salman Mirza earns a first call-up after strong domestic form. Rounding out the squad are Abrar Ahmed, Ahmed Daniyal, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Hassan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, wicket-keepers Mohammad Haris and Sahibzada Farhan, all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz, Saim Ayub and left-arm spinner Sufyan Moqim. Former New Zealand coach Mike Hesson heads the team’s coaching staff for the tour.
