Farhan replaces Agha Salman as T20I captain

Karachi witnessed a change in leadership for Pakistan's T20I team as Sahibzada Farhan was promoted to captain, replacing Agha Salman. The Pakistan Cricket Board announced a new squad for the upcoming home series against Sri Lanka, set to begin on October 9 at the Pindi Stadium in Rawalpindi. The team, which participated in the T20 World Cup earlier this year, saw the removal of Agha Salman, Babar Azam, Mohammad Nawaz, Usman Tariq, Faheem Ashraf, and Shaheen Afridi.

In their place, Farhan, Imran Randhawa, Maaz Sadaqat, Hasan Nawaz, Naseem Shah, and young pace sensation Razaullah joined the team. ODI captain Shaheen Afridi led the squad, with Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Hasan Nawaz, Razaullah, and Saad Baig being included.
