Pakistan Squad for 2025 Bangladesh Series: Who’s In, Who’s Out

Pakistan has named a 16-player squad for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh, leaving out senior stars Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi. The selectors said the squad was picked based on performances in the ongoing PSL.

Salman Ali Agha will lead the side, with Shadab Khan as his deputy. Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah return, while Saim Ayub makes a comeback after recovering from an ankle injury sustained during the South Africa tour.

Top PSL run-scorer Sahibzada Farhan, who last played a T20I in 2018, is also recalled. The 29-year-old has scored 394 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 154.50.

This marks the beginning of Mike Hesson’s tenure as Pakistan coach. The dates for the three-match series in Lahore will be announced soon.
