After a heavy 61-run loss to India, Pakistan’s cricket management is reportedly considering resting senior players ahead of their crucial group match against Namibia on 18 February. Sources indicate that captain Babar Azam and fast bowler Shaheen Afridi may sit out as part of two to three potential changes in the playing XI. The team management is weighing the option of testing bench strength while ensuring readiness for this decisive fixture. A win against Namibia is vital for Pakistan to advance to the Super Eight stage, though reports suggest that a rain-affected match could still allow Pakistan to progress.
