Bangaldesh t20is

Batter Salman Ali Agha: Pakistan have named a 16-player squad for their upcoming T20I series at home against Bangladesh with former skipper Babar Azam, veteran keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan and pace spearhead Shaheen Afridi being the notable absentees.

PCB said that the selection of the squad was based upon performances during the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) season. This isn’t the first time Babar, Rizwan, and Afridi have been dropped from T20 setup. Earlier in April, the trio was also axed from the T20I series against New Zealand, but they were part of the ODI matches.

The three-match series, slated to take place at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, will be Mike Hesson's first series in charge as coach, with the schedule to be announced in the coming days.
