Pakistan has to play T20 series against Ireland from May 10. The Pakistani team will reach England after playing three T20 matches against Ireland. 4 T20 matches will be played between England and Pakistan from 22 May to 30 May.
Mohammad Haris has not been included in the Pakistani team that went on England-Ireland tour. Captain Babar Azam has given clarification on this. He said, ‘I believe that Haris has not got many opportunities after T20 World Cup 2022. Haris is formed in the top-order where apart from me, Mohammad Rizwan, Saim, Fakhar Zaman are also there. For this reason he got less opportunities. When he (Haris) got opportunities in PSL, he could not even take advantage of them.
Pakistan team for Ireland and England series: Babar Azam (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Aamir, Mohammad Rizwan, Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Saeem Ayub, Salman Agha, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Usman Khan.
