The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Monday the playing XI for the second ODI between the Green Shirts and Zimbabwe set to be played at the Queen Sports Club.
Two changes have been made to the team. Tayyab Tahir will play in place of Haseebullah Khan, and Mohammad Hasnain has been replaced by Abrar Ahmed.
The second ODI at Queens Sports Club tomorrow (Tuesday) will mark Abrar’s debut in ODI cricket.
Moreover, batters Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, and Kamran Ghulam have been retained in the team.
Along with skipper and wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan, the side includes Salman Ali Agha, Irfan Niazi and Amir Jamal.
Haris Rauf will lead the pace department as Faisal Akram’s spin skills will be in action tomorrow against the hosting side.
Zimbabwe lead the three-match ODI series by 1-0, having won the first match by 80 runs using the DLS method.
They were restricted by Pakistani bowlers on 205 but the visiting team failed to cement themselves and were 60/6 when the rain started to heavily pour in Bulawayo.
