    Babar, Rizwan Return As Pakistan Name 18-member Test Squad For SA Series

    By IANS News September 30, 2025 • 11:22 AM View: 1167
    ICC World Test Championship: Pakistan have recalled senior batters Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan for the two-Test series against South Africa, part of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle, beginning on October 12.

    Both players missed the recent Asia Cup but now rejoin Shan Masood’s squad, which features a blend of experience and fresh faces.

    The national selection committee announced an 18-member squad on Tuesday, which will be trimmed before the first Test in Lahore. Three uncapped players — left-arm spinner Asif Afridi, wrist-spinner Faisal Akram, and wicketkeeper-batter Rohail Nazir — have been given opportunities to train with the senior side and push for potential debuts.
