15-man squad announced for Bangladesh T20I series

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday unveiled a 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match T20 International series against Bangladesh, scheduled to begin on July 20 in Dhaka.

All-rounder Salman Ali Agha will lead the team. Vice-captain Shadab Khan and pacer Haris Rauf have been ruled out due to injuries.

Shadab, recovering from a persistent shoulder injury, recently underwent successful surgery in the UK and will need several weeks of rehab.

Meanwhile, Haris Rauf sustained a Grade 1 hamstring injury during a Major League Cricket (MLC) match in the US, where he was playing for the San Francisco Unicorns.
