Mohammad Yousuf has been selected the break head and batting mentor for the short series in Sharjah. "Babar, Fakhar, Haris, Rizwan and Shaheen have been given breaks from the short Sharjah excursion to permit them to turn off from serious cricket so they can finish their restorations, refocus, recompose and re-energize their batteries and be completely fit for the difficulties in the extreme and testing 2023-24 season," expressed Seat of the choice board of trustees, Haroon Rashid. Seat of PCB The executives Board, Najam Sethi, said: "I need to salute Shadab Khan on his arrangement as the Pakistan group skipper for the series against Afghanistan.
