Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam, wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan, pacers Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have not been included in the squad for three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. The four players are currently playing in the Big Bash League (BBL) and that’s why they haven’t been named in the side.
However, all-rounder Shadab Khan has been recalled. The right-handed player is currently playing for Sydney Thunder in BBL.
The selectors have also included the uncapped Khawaja Nafay, who has scored 688 runs in 32 T20s, at a strike rate of 132.81. It’s the maiden T20I call-up for the right-handed batter who impressed for Quetta Gladiators in this season’s Pakistan Super League.
The series is scheduled to begin on January 7.
