Shaheen Afridi returns as Pakistan announce squad for T20 World Cup; Big name missing

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman of selectors Muhammad Wasim on Thursday announced the side's 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup, which saw a return of leading fast bowler Shaheen Afridi. The left-arm pacer missed the Asia Cup 2022 due to a knee injury, and there had been speculations over his participation in the coveted global tournament. Additionally, Shoaib Malik and Shan Masood – the two big names touted for a return in the Pakistan side following inconsistent performances from the middle-order – continue to remain absent.
