Pakistan's Cricket Squad Lands in Zimbabwe for Exciting White-Ball Series

The Pakistan national cricket team has touched down in Blantyre, Zimbabwe, to gear up for an exhilarating white-ball series against the host nation.

Travelling through Dubai, the 10-player squad is set to compete in a three-match ODI and T20 series, kicking off later this month. Some players had already arrived earlier in Zimbabwe, fresh from Pakistan’s recently concluded series against Australia. Key names such as skipper Mohammad Rizwan, Haris Rauf, Salman Ali Agha, Mohammad Irfan Khan, and Haseebullah Khan are part of this contingent.

Interestingly, celebrated cricketers like Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah have been given a breather, making way for emerging talent. This move aligns with the team's strategy to provide fresh players with exposure during less intense tours. Rizwan highlighted this approach, expressing that nurturing young talent is pivotal for their long-term goals.

The action begins with three ODIs scheduled for November 24, 26, and 28, followed by a thrilling T20 series on December 1, 3, and 5. Before their opening match, the squad will take a day off to recharge.
