The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) plans to rest top players Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi for the upcoming T20 series against Bangladesh starting May 27. This strategy aims to build a younger, stronger team ahead of major events like the T20 Asia Cup and ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Promising talents from PSL 2025, including Mohammad Naeem, Yasir Khan, Maaz Sadaqat, and Ubaid Shah, are being considered to test their skills under international pressure and strengthen Pakistan’s T20 squad.
