One of the star performers of the recently concluded National T20 Cup, Abdullah Shafique, has been included in Pakistan’s squad for the upcoming limited-overs home series against Zimbabwe.
During a press briefing in Lahore, Misbahul Haq said Pakistan had lost two of the senior player’s right after the world Cup, it’s time for new talent to make history. Zimbabwe home is crucial as the points earned from the ODI series would count towards the World Cup qualification.
