The Pakistan Cricket Board: Pakistan's senior national selectors have picked former captain Babar Azam, pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi, and spinner Shadab Khan, but left out former captain and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, in a preliminary 20-player squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has submitted the preliminary squad of 20 to the International Cricket Council (ICC), which will be cut to 15 by head coach Mike Hesson in a few days, a news report claimed on Saturday.

“The PCB has submitted the preliminary squad of 20 before the January 7 deadline, and as per Hesson’s contract, he will cut it to 20,” sources told Telecom Asia Sport (www.telecomasia.net).
