Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Haris has been rested for the five-match T20I series against New Zealand while spinner Shadab Khan has sustained an ankle injury, ruling him out of the squad.

Pakistan's chief selector Wahab Riaz confirmed the news of Shadab's injury and revealed that he will take at least "two weeks for rehab" and will be available after that.

Riaz added that Haris was rested since "we want to use our pool of players" in the upcoming series. Pakistan's chief selector also confirmed that pacer Naseem Shah has recovered from his injury.

But he was not selected since they didn't want to put an overload on the 20-year-old speedster. "Shadab is a very important member of Pakistan T20 cricket and he's a white-ball specialist.

"Everyone Was Slightly Surprised": Mitchell Starc On Pakistan's Lack Of Pace In 1st Test Against Australia

Australia's experienced left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc was "surprised" to see Pakistan's lack of pace in the first Test which was one of the most talked about points. Pakistan are quite restricted in terms of putting up a quality pace bowling line-up with Naseem Shah nursing an injury and Haris Rauf opting out of the Test series. Without experience, the majority of the burden fell on Shan Masood's deputy Shaheen Shah Afridi, but even he struggled to generate pace. "I think everyone was slightly surprised at the lower pace of the Pakistan bowlers, when you're generally used to some guys getting in the 150s [kph]. I don't think that pace is the be all and end all but it certainly plays a part and can help," Starc said, speaking to media as quoted from ESPNcricinfo.
