The selection committee of the Pakistan cricket team has finalized the national white ball squad, with new faces likely to be tried in the team.
According to Samaa, Umair Bin Yusuf, Irfan Khan Niazi, Kamran Ghulam, Sufyan Muqeem, and Muhammad Hasnain are likely to join the team, while Saud Shakeel, Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed might be dropped.
Saud and Shadab are contenders for captaincy, along with Muhammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha.
Sources said that head coach Gary Kirsten has refused to make Saud Shakeel part of the white-ball plan. However, he has not yet been informed about it.
Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed are ruled out for poor performances, while Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi are expected to be included. Babar and Shaheen were rested from the Test series against England.
The announcement of the national white ball squad is expected today.
