As the Pakistan men's team gets ready to take on neighbours Afghanistan in their preparation for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, former head coach Mickey Arthur has backed his successor Mike Hesson and skipper Salman Agha's move to ignore senior players Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.

Arthur said the skillset of players keeps evolving and said only those players who perform according to the team's Twenty20 style must get picked.
