The Pakistan cricket team for the upcoming South Africa tour is expected to be announced next week. The series will feature 3 ODIs, 3 T20s, and 2 Test matches, with major changes anticipated in the squad.
Sources from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) suggest that Fakhar Zaman will make his return for the white-ball series, and Saim Ayub is likely to rejoin the T20 squad. The Test series is set to feature Babar Azam, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Shah Afridi in the squad. Players who showcased strong performances during the Australia tour are anticipated to be given priority for selection.
Two separate 18-player squads will likely be named for each format. The final squad will be announced ahead of the series to allow players to adjust to the local conditions. Pakistan is scheduled to take on South Africa from December 10 to January 7.
