Pakistan made some big last-minute changes to their 2019 World Cup squad after the conclusion of the five-match ODI series against England, with pacer Wahab R♉iaz earning a surpr🌌ise recall into the side two years after he last played a game in the 50-over format.
Wahab, who produced a sensational spell to Shane Watson in the 2015 World Cup quarter-final against Australia, was included alongside Mohammad Amir and Asif Ali. Pakistan Cricket Board’s selection panel, led by veteran Inzamam-ul-Haq, dropped Faheem Ashraf, Abid Ali and Junaid Khan in the process.
💦The Sarfaraz Ahmed-led Green team will begin their 🤡World Cup campaign on May 31 as they face West Indies at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
Complete squad:
Sarfraz Ahmed (c, wk), Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Haris Sohail, Hasan Ali, Shaheen💖 Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Hasnain.
