After the newly established selection committee recommended Babar replace Shaheen as T20 captain in March, the board restored him. The PCB under Zaka Ashraf named Shaheen white-ball captain after the ICC World Cup 2023 loss.

After the fast bowler declined the vice-captaincy, wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan is a strong possibility. All-rounder Shadab Khan is also a candidate. Pakistan named their T20 World Cup 2024 squad yesterday. The tournament begins on June 1 in the US and West Indies.

“This talented and balanced team combines youth and experience. These players have been playing together for a while and appear ready for next month’s event “PCB press release.

Haris Rauf is fit and bowls well in the netts. We wish he had played at Headingley, but we are certain he will continue to improve in the following matches as he plays a crucial role with other strike bowlers in the T20 World Cup.”

Pakistan is in Group A with India, Ireland, Canada, and the US.
