Overview
- The Pakistan Cricket Board announced the 15‑member men’s squad on Wednesday, June 10, and installed Sahibzada Farhan as captain with Abdul Samad as vice‑captain.
- The squad lists Abrar Ahmed, Haider Ali, Saim Ayub and Usman Khan among the experienced picks while four players — Akif Javed, Ali Raza, Maaz Sadaqat and Saad Masood — remain uncapped in T20Is.
- Several senior white‑ball regulars were omitted, including Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi, a move the PCB framed as part of a youth‑focused rebuild.
- Fourteen of the 15 players will attend the NCA white‑ball camp that begins in Lahore on June 15 as final preparation ahead of the Asian Games T20 matches in Aichi‑Nagoya.
- The men’s T20 event runs at Korogi Athletic Park from late September with medal matches on October 3, and the named support staff include head coach Mike Hesson and bowling coach Ashley Noffke.
