Pakistan, led by Salman Ali Agha, are all set to take on Michael Bracewell’s New Zealand in an exciting five-match T20I series, commencing from today, 16th March. This series will be followed by a three-match ODI series.
Teams Overview
New Zealand
New Zealand’s T20 squad has been impacted by IPL commitments, with regulars Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, and captain Mitchell Santner unavailable. As a result, the squad features a mix of established and returning stars, along with some new faces.
Pakistan
Pakistan’s squad includes three uncapped players – Abdul Samad, Hasan Nawaz, and Mohammad Ali – who earned call-ups to the national side following their impressive performances in recent domestic events. This series provides an opportunity for these young players to make a mark on the international stage.
