The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has unveiled the 18-member squad for the crucial tours of England and Ireland leading up to the T20I World Cup 2024.

Captain Babar Azam will lead the team, which features Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Haris Rauf, Salman Ali Agha, Muhammad Irfan Khan, Usman Khan, Shaheen Afridi, and others.

The squad announcement precedes Pakistan’s series against Ireland, consisting of three T20Is scheduled from May 10 to May 14. Following this, the team will head to England for a four-match T20I series starting on May 22.

These tours are significant for the national team’s preparation for the T20I World Cup 2024, slated to kick off in June in the United States and the West Indies.
