The squad will be reduced to 15 players after the first T20I, which will be played on 22nd May at Leeds, to meet the ICC’s deadline of 24th May for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.The men’s national selection committee has recalled fast bowler Haris Rauf, along with all-rounders Hasan Ali and Salman Ali Agha, in the 18-player squad. However, wrist spinner Usama Mir and fast bowler Zaman Khan have been left out of the squad.

Four cricketers underwent fitness assessments at the National Cricket Academy on Tuesday afternoon and showed significant improvement. This progress has provided confidence and encouragement to the PCB Medical Panel and team management regarding their potential availability during the seven T20Is.
Salman Ali Agha is a versatile cricketer proficient in aggressive middle-order batting and off-spin bowling. His inclusion bolsters Pakistan’s spin department alongside Abrar Ahmed, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan.Hasan Ali’s selection is attributed to his extensive experience, having featured in 50 T20Is and excelled in bilateral series and ICC events. His impressive performance in the HBL Pakistan Super League 2024, where he claimed 14 wickets, further underlined his credentials. Currently representing Warwickshire in the English County Championship, Hasan adds depth to Pakistan’s bowling arsenal.
