LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the ODI and T20I squad for the home series against Australia, starting from March 29 in Rawalpindi.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK)’s all-rounder Asif Afridi earned a maiden call-up for the white ball series, while young wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Haris earned a second one as the home series against New Zealand was cancelled last year in September.
For the series against Australia, the ODI team consists of 20 players, while the T20I squad consists of 17 players, leaving Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, and Saud Shakeel out.
