Media reports suggest that at least Babar Azam and Mohd. Rizwan are highly regarded by Pakistan’s new white-ball coach, Mike Hesson. Much will depend on how the new-look side performs in the upcoming series. Strong performances could make it difficult for the trio to reclaim their spots, while a disappointing showing may open the door for all three to stage a comeback.

Either way, the series is likely to play a key role in shaping the composition and direction of Pakistan’s future T20 sides. With a new coaching setup and fresh faces in the squad, the series offers a testing ground for emerging talent to prove their mettle on the international stage. It will also give selectors valuable insight into how well the new players adapt to pressure situations. For the sidelined seniors, the performances of their replacements could either solidify the transition or leave the door ajar for a return. Ultimately, the series may set the tone for Pakistan’s T20 strategy moving forward.
