Afridi Returns; Rizwan, Agha Named Pakistan Captains

Pakistan has named its squads for the upcoming white-ball tour of the West Indies, with Shaheen Shah Afridi returning to both the ODI and T20I teams after missing recent T20 matches. Salman Ali Agha has been appointed T20I captain, while Mohammad Rizwan is retained as ODI captain and Babar Azam returns only for the ODIs. Hasan Ali and Haris Rauf rejoin the squads after missing the Bangladesh series, and promising batter Hasan Nawaz receives his first ODI call-up following a record T20I century. Young pacers Abbas Afridi, Ahmed Daniyal, and Salman Mirza, who played against Bangladesh, have been dropped for this tour. The T20Is will take place in Florida from July 31 to August 3, followed by three ODIs in Trinidad from August 8 to 12. This tour marks new coach Mike Hesson's first ODI assignment, as Pakistan looks to rebound after a disappointing T20I series loss to Bangladesh.
