Shahid Afridi has made changes to the Pakistan team

Cricket News

Shahid Afridi has recently taken over as the chief selector of the Pakistan cricket team. His first assignment was the upcoming New Zealand series. Afridi has made changes to the Pakistan team for the two-Test series. Two pacers Shahnawaz Dahani and Mir Hamza and off-spinner Sajid Khan have been added to the team to increase their bowling strength.
Afridi said, “We have discussed the squad. Everyone agreed that our bowling department needs to be stronger to create maximum chances of taking 20 wickets in the match. With three additional bowlers, Babar Azam will get a chance to think of more options to arrange the best team for the first Test. I’m confident about that. ’

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has undergone significant changes ahead of the New Zealand series. Najam Sethi has been made the new board chief replacing Ramiz Raja. On Saturday, Najam Sethi returned Mohammad Wasim and appointed Shahid Afridi as the chief selector. Afridi’s two former cricketers Abdul Razzaq and Rao Iftikhar Anjum have been included in the selection panel.

It is to be noted that the first Test will start in Karachi on December 25. The second Test was scheduled to be held in Multan, but due to adverse weather conditions there, the venue has been changed to Karachi. The match will start on January 2.
