Abrar Ahmed

Abrar Ahmed has already cemented his position as Pakistan’s premier spinner in Test cricket. However, he is yet to make his debut in white ball cricket. This home series then provides an ideal opportunity to selectors to gauge his prowess in the shortest version of the game and so, we expect him to play at least a match or two against the touring Kiwi side.

Zaman Khan

Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Mohd. Amir should be Pakistan’s first choice pacers during the series. Nevertheless, with Haris Rauf not available owing to an injury, it makes sense to try Zaman Khan in as many games as is possible in order to ensure that the men in green have their fourth fast bowler ready prior to the #T20WorldCup.

Irfan Khan Niazi

Irfan Khan Niazi showed promise during the recently concluded Pakistan Super League (PSL). If the all-rounder can replicate his success at the international level, it would significantly enhance the team’s balance under Babar’s leadership. Thus, granting Niazi a substantial opportunity during the home series seems like a logical step forward.

At the age of 29, Usman isn’t as young as some of the other cricketers in the list. Nevertheless, his outstanding performance in the PSL solidifies his position, making him an indispensable asset. Therefore, we anticipate his continued excellence on the field.
