Pakistan national men's selection committee on Wednesday named the squads for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan and the Asia Cup 2023. The announcement came as a surprise for many fans as Shan Masood and Ihsanullah have been dropped from the side. Apart from them, another exclusion that left everyone utterly shocked was of batter Saud Shakeel, who has not been included in the Asia Cup squad. Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal came in support of Shakeel and stated that the 27-year-old batter has the potential to reach the level of Virat Kohli and Babar Azam.
Pakistan pacer Shahnawaz Dahani expressed his frustration after being left out of the squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023. Dahani and Shan Masood missed out on selection for the continental tournament, with all-rounder Faheem Ashraf recalled to the side after almost two years. Disappointed with his omission from the squad, Dahani slammed former Pakistan captain and wicketkeeper-batter Rashid Latif, who shared the List A stats of Pakistani fast bowlers. The list, however, did not have Dahani's stats on it.
ICC on Wednesday confirmed the changes in the schedule of 2023 ODI World Cup set to take place in India in October-November. The apex governing body of cricket has confirmed that the match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan will be played on October 14, instead of October 15 which was in the previous schedule. ICC, in a release, also stated that Pakistan and England will have three of their games rescheduled (either date or time), while dates of India's two games have been altered. That India versus Pakistan match will be advanced by a day after security agencies expressed inability to provide adequate security on October 15, which is the first day of Hindu festival, Navratri.
