Pakistan cricket has experienced a leadership shake-up, with opening batter Sahibzada Farhan being appointed as the new T20I captain, while Salman Ali Agha has been removed from the captaincy and squad for the forthcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka. The PCB announced the new T20I squad, which includes Farhan, along with players like Abdul Samad, Abrar Ahmed, and Fakhar Zaman.
Agha and three others have been omitted from the T20I team, though they remain part of the ODI squad. Notably, Razaullah made his T20I debut, and Imran Randhawa received his first T20I call-up. The three-match T20I series, along with a seven-match ODI tri-series against Sri Lanka and England, is scheduled to take place in Rawalpindi and Lahore.
