Shaheen may miss few matches.

 


 In order to manage the players' fatigue in front of this year's T20 World Cup, reports claim that Shaheen's rest has been decided as part of the team's rotation program.

Shaheen will play in the last three games of the series, but he might be sidelined for the first few in Rawalpindi.

It is important to remember that Babar Azam took Shaheen's place as the T20I team's captain.

"A strategic move aimed at ensuring player well-being and peak performance," according to the PCB, described the modification.

"The board understands the need of rotation and respite to sustain Shaheen Afridi's peak performance, even if he has unquestionably established himself as a star fast bowler, spearheading Pakistan's pace attack throughout the years. The PCB continued, "This decision is in accordance with the board's commitment to preserving the lifespan of the players, particularly fast bowlers given their injury histories over the last two years.

This choice was made with workload management in mind in order to guarantee that Pakistan's star bowlers continue to perform at the highest level. The board does not want the national men's team to experience an injury issue with regard to bowling resources, as was the case prior to the ICC T20 World Cup in 2022, when Shaheen needed special attention, and the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup in 2023, when Naseem Shah was not on the team.

The team from New Zealand arrived in Islamabad on Sunday, and following the Eid-ul-Fitr holidays, the team from Pakistan also gathered in the nation's capital.

Hero Imad Wasim leads Islamabad to a thrilling two-wicket victory in the PSL final.

Hunain Shah wins with the last ball as Multan falls in yet another thrilling match. Scoreboard  Islamabad United is the team that knows how to win PSL finals, even though Multan Sultans may have the recipe for getting there. For the Sultans, it was deja vu as they watched another PSL final be stolen from them in a low-scoring thriller ending. United's hero was Imad Wasim, who defied time with an incredible all-around effort. He claimed five wickets and was out in the middle when Hunain Shah angled the final delivery behind point to win United's third title. In Karachi today, the drama of the previous year's epic final, which the Sultans lost by a run, was undoubtedly surpassed. At several points during both innings, United looked to have won that match, but never more so than when they got the Sultans down to 127 for 9. However, Iftikhar Ahmed's cameo of an unbeaten 32 off 20 balls lifted the Sultans to 159, a score that they felt they had just about enough manpower to ...

Despite Jamal's flashy displays, all-around Shadab secures a significant victory.

Despite Jamal's flashy displays, all-around Shadab secures a significant victory. Scoreboard For Islamabad United, brothers Naseem and Hunain also excelled, slicing through the Peshawar Zalmi starting lineup. In the Pakistan Super League on Monday, Islamabad United defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 29 runs after stifling Aamer Jamal's lightning-fast half-century. Thanks primarily to captain Shadab Khan's 80 from 51 balls, Islamabad scored 196-4. Then, on the power play, brothers Naseem Shah (1-26) and Hunain Shah (2-25) cut through the Peshawar top order, bringing it down to 18-5. When Jamal was clean-bowled by Shadab, who finished with 3-41, in the 18th over, they were 152-6. Jamal had spearheaded the recovery with a brilliant 87 off 49 balls. United overtook Zalmi on net run-rate, moving up to third place in the six-team standings.
