Pakistan Shaheens are set to host Bangladesh ‘A’ in a 3-match 50-over series at the Islamabad Club. This series promises to be an exciting contest between two talented sides, featuring emerging stars eager to prove themselves on a larger stage.
Wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Haris will captain the Pakistan Shaheens, as the selectors have retained 12 players from the squad that recently competed in the 50-over and Top End T20 series in Darwin, Australia. This decision aligns with the selectors’ strategy of consistently providing opportunities to emerging and domestic performers, allowing them to prove their abilities and vie for a spot in the senior national team.
In addition to skipper Mohammad Haris, the retained players from the Darwin tour include Abdul Faseeh, Arafat Minhas, Faisal Akram, Haseebullah, Jahandad Khan, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Muhammad Irfan Khan, Mohammad Imran Jnr, Mubasir Khan, Omair Bin Yousuf, and Usman Khan, joining them are left-arm spinner Mehran Mumtaz, who played in the second four-day match against Bangladesh ‘A’, and left-hand batter Azan Awais, who represented Pakistan U19 in the 2024 ICC Men’s U19 World Cup.
During their recent tour of Darwin, the Pakistan Shaheens, under the leadership of Mohammad Haris, secured seven wins out of nine white-ball matches. They achieved victories over Northern Territory Strike and Bangladesh ‘A’ in the 50-over games by four and eight wickets, respectively. In the nine-team Top End T20 series, the Shaheens topped the table with five wins in six matches but were eliminated in the semi-final.
All three 50-over matches between Pakistan Shaheens and Bangladesh ‘A’ will be day games, starting at 9:30 AM, with the toss scheduled for 9:00 AM. The matches will be held in Islamabad, where warm and dry conditions are anticipated. The pitch at Islamabad Club usually provides a balanced contest between bat and ball, with spinners likely to gain more support as the game progresses. The early morning start could offer some swing for the fast bowlers, making the first hour of play particularly important.
Squads:
Pakistan Squad: Mohammad Haris (captain) (wicket-keeper), Abdul Faseeh, Arafat Minhas, Azan Awais, Faisal Akram, Haseebullah (wicket-keeper), Jahandad Khan, Mehran Mumtaz, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Muhammad Irfan Khan, Mohammad Imran Jnr, Mubasir Khan, Omair Bin Yousuf, Usman Khan.
Bangladesh Squad: Towhid Hridoy (captain), Anamul Haque, Hasan Murad, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Mahidul Islam (wicket-keeper), Mohammad Naim, Mosaddek Hossain, Rejaur Rehman Raja, Rishad Hossain, Ruyel Miah, Saif Hassan, Soumya Sarkar, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
