Australia

Just weeks after quitting as white-ball captain, Pakistan has picked former captain Babar Azam and fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi for the limited-overs tour of Australia.

Pakistan included former captain Babar Azam and fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi in its squad for the limited-over series in Australia this November after missing the last two Tests against England.

Selectors have announced that the duo will be rested for the upcoming one-day and T20 series against Zimbabwe next month.

On Sunday, Pakistan named Mohammad Rizwan as its new white-ball captain to replace 30-year-old Babar Azam, who resigned from the job earlier this month after his second stint.
