Afghanistan is gearing up to host Pakistan for a three-match T20I series, starting on Friday (March 24). This will be the first-ever T20I series between the two nations, and all the AFG vs PAK matches will be held at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the UAE.
The home team, led by Rashid Khan, has named a 17-member squad for the upcoming series, with senior cricketer Mohammad Nabi returning to the side after leading the team in the ICC T20 World Cup a few months ago.
On the other hand, Pakistan announced a 15-man squad, with Shadab Khan leading the team. The marquee players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, Haris Rauf, and Fakhar Zaman have been rested for the series. The team will see a mix of youngsters, including top-order batter Saim Ayub, pacer Ihsanullah, and attacking batter Tayyab Tahir.
