    Shadab is currently busy with rehab following surgery on his shoulder while Rauf has suffered a hamstring problem, which has ruled him out of San Francisco Unicorns' MLC 2025 playoff matches.

    Irfan Khan, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Wasim and Naseem Shah have been left out from the last T20I series, which was also against Bangladesh at home in May-June which Pakistan won 3-0.

    Uncapped seam-bowling duo Ahmed Daniyal and Salman Mirza have been selected in the squad while wrist-spinner Sufiyan Muqeem has played just 10 T20Is.

    Top-order batter Hasan Nawaz made his international debut earlier this year and has played just eight T20Is. Abbas Afridi, the medium pacer, is relatively more experienced, having played 21 T20Is since making his debut early last year.

    This is the second T20I series Pakistan will be playing under new white-ball coach Mike Hesson, with the next T20 World Cup scheduled for early 2026 in India and Sri Lanka.

    Pakistan T20I squad: Salman Agha (capt), Abrar Ahmed, Ahmed Daniyal, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Hassan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Haris (wk), Mohammad Nawaz, Sahibzada Farhan (wk), Saim Ayub, Salman Mirza, Sufiyan Muqeem
