Fakhar Zaman, Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf are expected to be included in Pakistan Cricket Board's central contracts list for the 2025-26 season after being dropped last year. The PCB had delayed the announcement of the central contracts last year until October although these contracts run from July 1 to June 30. These three players were excluded from the previous list due to poor performances and fitness issues, but their impressive performances in the Pakistan Super League have brought them back into reckoning.
