1 min read

The Pakistan cricket crew led by captain Babar Azam reached Dubai to take part within the Asia Cup, beginning on August 27. Earlier in Amsterdam, Pakistan accomplished a clear sweep within the three-match ODI sequence towards the Netherlands.

Some members of Pakistan’s T20 squad, together with Iftikhar Ahmed, Usman Qadir, Haider Ali and Asif Ali, arrived in Dubai from Lahore. They changed Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Haris, Salman Ali Agha and Zahid Mehmood, who had been a part of the 16-member ODI squad towards the Netherlands. Muhammad Hasnain, who replaces injured Shaheen Afridi for the Asia Cup, will fly to the United Arab Emirates from Britain.
