In an unprecedented move, a number of experienced players including former captains Shoaib Malik and Sarfaraz Ahmad were left out in the Squad announced for World Cup T20.
While the experienced quartet was snubbed, the young Azam Khan was picked in the 15-man squad, with his selection set to raise plenty of eyebrows due to his inexperience at the highest level and an underwhelming batting debut against England when he was out for just one.
Also in the squad is the out-of-form Asif Ali, who is finding runs hard to come by in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League 2021.
As expected, veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez made the cut despite enduring a lean year with the bat.
PSL 2021 standout Sohaib Maqsood has also been retained, while Mohammad Wasim Jr was the other surprise inclusion as his namesake announced the squad.
