BAN vs PAK 1st T20I—Preview
Pakistan captain Salman Agha is confident his new-look side is shaping up well towards next year’s World Cup as it takes on Bangladesh in a T20 series starting in Dhaka from Sunday.
Agha has been leading the short format side with star batter Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan out since last year.
Pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi has been rested for the three-match series and seam bowlers Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah and Mohammad Wasim are also missing because of injuries.
Agha said the missing players could still be considered for the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka next year.
