Last week, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced a 15-member squad for the ODI series against Bangladesh, scheduled from March 11 to 15 at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka.
Left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi will continue to lead the side as captain, guiding a balanced mix of experienced campaigners and emerging talent ahead of the three-match white-ball series.
The squad features six uncapped players, providing opportunities for Abdul Samad, Maaz Sadaqat, Muhammad Ghazi Ghori, Saad Masood, Sahibzada Farhan, and Shamyl Hussain to make their international ODI debuts.
Among the newcomers, Abdul Samad, Maaz Sadaqat, Saad Masood, and Shamyl Hussain recently represented the Pakistan Shaheens squad in competitive matches against the England Lions in Abu Dhabi, gaining valuable experience ahead of the series.
