Pakistan have made a last-minute change to their T20I squad by replacing Hasan Nawaz for the upcoming tri-series at home featuring Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Pakistan have made a late adjustment to their white-ball
squads on Sunday, releasing batter Hasan Nawaz for the upcoming white-ball assignments. The move comes ahead of the home series against Sri Lanka and the T20I tri-nation series also featuring Zimbabwe.
Hasan will return to domestic cricket to feature in the Quaid-e-Azam trophy, with the seventh round resuming on November 11. His release opened the door for Fakhar Zaman, who returned to the T20I side. However, no replacement was named for the ODI squad.
Zaman last featured in T20Is during the Asia Cup where Pakistan made it to the final. He was part of the ODI series against South Africa, managing 45 runs across three innings which included two ducks. Pakistan will face Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series in Rawalpindi from November 11-15 before shifting focus to the tri-nation T20I tournament that runs from November 17-29 in Rawalpindi and Lahore.
