On Tuesday, the PCB unveiled its 17-player roster for the upcoming series against New Zealand.
Abdul Razzaq and his committee announced the selection during a Lahore press briefing. Babar Azam is captain. Key players like Muhammad Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Muhammad Amir are part of the squad. Former Test cricketer Azhar Mahmood, the newly appointed head coach, will lead the team.
With 164 international caps, Mahmood’s experience is crucial for the T20 series running from April 18-27 in Rawalpindi and Lahore. His prior role as bowling coach from 2016 to 2019 is expected to enhance the team’s strategy and performance.
