Pakistan’s T20 Squad Announcement for Home Series Against New Zealand

Pakistan’s T20 squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand has received a major boost with the inclusion of Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim, who have both come out of retirement ahead of the World Cup in June. The return of these experienced players is sure to add depth and strength to the team as they prepare to take on the Kiwis in a five-match series from April 18-27.

Amir, who served time in prison and faced a ban from cricket due to his involvement in the spot-fixing scandal, has made himself available for the T20 World Cup after more than three years away from international cricket. His match-winning capabilities have been recognized by the Pakistan selection committee, who are confident that he will deliver strong performances for the team.

In addition to the return of Amir and Wasim, Pakistan has also called up uncapped batters Muhammad Irfan Khan and Usman Khan to the squad. However, Usman Khan’s inclusion has been met with controversy as he was recently banned by the Emirates Cricket Board for showing interest in playing for his country of birth.

With Babar Azam set to lead the team in his new captaincy stint, Pakistan will be looking to put on a strong performance against New Zealand and build momentum ahead of the T20 World Cup. The series promises to be an exciting one, with the Pakistan squad eager to showcase their skills and secure victories against a tough opponent.
