The Pakistan men cricket T20 team has arrived in Dubai as part of Asia Cup and a tri-series against Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates; Pakistan Cricket Board announced on Wednesday.
The group arrived in Dubai in four different batches, which facilitated ease of movement to players and personnel as reported by state broadcaster PTV. Prior to the series there will be a pre-series training camp which will take place on August 21-27, where practice will be conducted at the ICC Cricket Academy. During their preparation there will also be a practice match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The tri-series begins on August 29, while the Asia Cup kicks off on September 9. Both tournaments will be held in the UAE. Officials said all training activities and matches are planned in Dubai, providing the squad with proper facilities ahead of the major events.
Notably, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been left out of the squad. The pair, who have long been Pakistan’s leading names in the format, last featured in December. Head coach Mike Hesson explained that other players had stepped up, warranting the change.
Pakistan have played three T20 series since Hesson was appointed in May. They were undefeated at home against New Zealand (3-0) and they lost to Bangladesh (2-1) in away matches but got a triumph against West Indies (2-1) in the United States.
The side will be led by all-rounder Salman Agha. The bowling unit is boosted by return of fast bowlers Mohammad Wasim and Salman Mirza to the squad.
Pakistan team: Salman Agha (Captain), Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Sahibzada Farhan, Hasan Nawaz, Salman Mirza, Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Hussain Talat, Sufiyan Muqeem, Abrar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Wasim.
