Desk: The T20 series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka is going to start from 9th October. This series of 3 T20 between the two countries will continue till October 13, all three matches of which will be played in Rawalpindi. Sri Lanka has announced its team for this series but Pakistan's team is yet to be selected. But, the news coming before the team selection is pointing towards a big change. There is news that major changes may be seen in the Pakistan team for the T20 series against Sri Lanka. The wind of this change is blowing due to the amazing performance of some Pakistani cricketers in the Asian Games 2026.
According to the report, some players may be left out of the Pakistan team for the T20 series against Sri Lanka. By leaving them out, PCB can give a chance to the players who performed brilliantly in the Asian Games 2026 against Sri Lanka. Now the question is that then which players of Pakistan will be out of the T20 series against Sri Lanka?
According to the report, PCB may drop Salman Ali Aga from the T20 series against Sri Lanka and give a chance to Hasan Nawaz in his place. Hasan Nawaz's performance in the knock out of the Asian Games was explosive. He scored 27 runs in 22 balls in the semi-finals. In the final against India, he scored 96 runs on 51 balls. Nawaz was also seen in great form in the previous CPL 2026, where he scored 220 runs in 7 innings at an average of 36.67. If PCB expels Salman Aga, it will be an insult to him. However, PCB has already embarrassed Salman Aga by sending him home midway from the England tour.
Like Hasan Nawaz, Arafat Minhas can also get a place in the team. He can replace Faheem Ashraf in Pakistan's T20 team. Meaning Faheem Ashraf may have to go out. Salman Mirza was out of the team due to injury just before the Asian Games 2026. According to the report, his return from injury may take some time. In such a situation, Ahmed Daniyal, who took 2 wickets against India in the final of the Asian Games, may get a chance in the team for the T20 series against Sri Lanka. Pakistan's team is expected to be announced in the next few hours. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see who goes out and who comes in?
