Three changes are likely in the national team for the T20 against England, with fast bowler Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf along with top-order batsman Usman Khan likely to be included in the line-up.
Pakistan may make three changes to their playing XI for the first T20 against England on Wednesday, May 22 in Leeds.
Three changes are expected in the national team, with fast bowlers Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf likely to include top-order batsman Usman Khan in the line-up.
Opener Saeem Ayub and fast bowler Hasan Ali, who were part of the third T20 against Ireland in Dublin recently, could be dropped.
Haris Rauf and Usman Khan did not feature in the three-match T20I series against Ireland, which Pakistan won 2-1.
Meanwhile, the team management is also considering dropping a pacer to make room for either Shadab Khan or Abrar Ahmed.
Pakistan is likely to field its full strength team to test the World Cup combination during the series against England.
The final decision will be taken after consultation with head coach Gary Kirsten, who is scheduled to join the Pakistan squad.
The four-match series between Pakistan and England will be the last assignment of both the teams before the T20 World Cup 2024 starting from June 1 in USA and West Indies.
