Pakistan ODI Squad 2022 Against West Indies
Pakistan cricket board selectors have announced the roster for the three-match ODI series against the West Indies at home in 2022. The three ODI matches will be played at Pindi Cricket Stadium on June 8, 10, and 12. The contests will form part of the ICC World Cup Super League.
Despite having 21 players in the last series against Australia, the squad has been cut to 16 players for this match. Asif Afridi, Asif Ali, Haider Ali, and Usman Qadir are excluded. However, Saud Shakil is not a member of the sinusitis operating team.
As usual, Babar Azam is in charge of team leadership. Shadab Khan, who was injured and missed the Australia series, has returned as vice-captain. The team training will begin in Rawalpindi on June 1. The county cricket players Harris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shadab Khan will join the team for practise.
Mohammad Wasim, the chief selector, stated, “We have declared our probable strong team for the 2023 ICC World Cup qualifiers so that we can gauge our strength for the 50-over competition. In this format, we have once again included a number of seasoned players.
We have 16 players on our roster since we need to organise this event quickly.
We had a replacement player for Australia due to an injury. Both Mohammad Newaz and Shadab Khan are now in perfect health. We have thus excluded Asif Afridi and Usman Qadir. However, Usman, Asif Ali, and Haider Ali are under consideration for the next World Cup.
