Pakistan cricket board is now looking to improve Pakistan team bench strength and do not realy on single lot of Players. In past, PCB use to depend on single lot or a group of players, which took advantage of PCB and blackmailed PCB regarding central contract issue. Therefore, now it seems that PCB won't allow to be blackmailed again that is why PCB has sidelined Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan from white ball squad. It is reported that some players will be call back due to there good performance in PSL 2025.
It is expected that Shaheen Shah Afidi will be call back for Bangladesh series, which will be held in Bangladesh. The series is expected to occur in July 2025. Saleem Khaliq is a well know journalist and he is reporting that Sufiyan Muqeem will also return to the team. Therefore, it is expected that Sufiyan Muqeem and Shaheen Shah Afridi will be playing again for the national team soon. Shaheen Shah Afridi give a awesome performance in PSL 2025 and he led Lahore Qalandars as well. Moreover, Lahore Qalandars won the tournament and Shaheen Shah Afridi became officially the most PSL award winning captain. It is expected that Shaheen Afridi will be the leading pace blower against Bangladesh and Haris Rauf might be rested as he is not playing up to the standard that is required.
