After being out of ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistani team is going to tour Bangladesh for 3 match ODI series. This series is to start from March 11, for which Pakistan’s team has been announced. Babar Azam, Saim Ayub and Mohammad Nawaz, who performed very poorly in the T20 World Cup, have also been dropped from the ODI team.
6 uncapped players have got a place in the 15-member squad. Sahibzada Farhan has also been selected in the ODI team. Farhan had scored two centuries in the T20 World Cup and he still remains on the top in the list of batsmen who have scored the most runs in the tournament. However, he has not played any 50 over format match since October 2024. He may get a chance to make his ODI debut on the Bangladesh tour.

Whose place is left?

T20 team captain Salman Ali Aga is also on the verge of being dropped. In the T20 World Cup, he proved to be a huge flop in both captaincy and batting. Apart from this, Faheem Ashraf has also been kept in the team.
