Salman Ali Agha-led Pakistan are gearing up for their three-match T20I series against Australia, with all three matches scheduled to take place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, starting on January 29. Salman Agha has been entrusted to guide the squad following a period of captaincy shifts in the national setup. The visitors, led by Mitchell Marsh, are looking to fine-tune their combinations in what is a crucial tune-up series for both sides’ T20 World Cup 2026 title hopes.

Australia’s momentum and T20 World Cup 2026 readiness

Australia will enter this series with a boost in confidence after a successful domestic summer, although they have opted for a squad that balances core strength with careful player management. Under Marsh, the team has focused on long-term peaking for the upcoming World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, recently resting heavyweights like Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Glenn Maxwell to ensure freshness.

With key bowler Adam Zampa in great form, the inclusion of explosive batter Matt Renshaw and the consistency of Matthew Short signal a deep and versatile squad. Currently a dominant force in the format, the Aussies are eager to test their mettle against Pakistan’s pace in the familiar high-scoring conditions of Lahore.

Pakistan’s transition and Salman Ali Agha’s leadership

Pakistan will be looking to solidify their T20I identity under Salman Agha, having navigated through various leadership and personnel changes throughout 2025. Following a period of experimentation, the team is now in a focused phase of preparation for the global showpiece. Salman, despite the immense pressure of leading a side with high expectations, remains the focal point of a squad that boasts the return of superstars Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi. With stalwarts like Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman supporting the captain, alongside rising stars like Saim Ayub, Pakistan are desperate to find the right winning rhythm at home to carry significant momentum into the World Cup starting next week.
