Pakistan Team New Zealand Ke Liye Ready!
Pakistan ki cricket team Thursday ko Christchurch pahunch gayi hai, New Zealand ke khilaf apne T20I series ke pehle match ke liye, jo 16 March ko hona hai.

ICC Champions Trophy mein ghar mein kharab performance ke baad, yeh Pakistan ka pehla white-ball series hai, jismein woh ek bhi match jeet nahi paye aur tournament se bahar ho gaye.
Salman Agha aur Shadab Khan Sambhalenge T20I Team Ki Command
T20Is mein, Pakistan ki captaincy Salman Agha karenge, aur Shadab Khan vice-captain honge. Teen naye players – Abdul Samad, Hasan Nawaz aur Mohammad Ali – ko bhi squad mein shamil kiya gaya hai, kyunki Babar Azam aur Mohammad Rizwan jaise senior players is format mein nahi khel rahe hain.
Rizwan Continue Karenge ODI Captaincy
Rizwan ODI captain bane rahenge, aur Salman unke deputy honge teen 50-over matches ke liye, jo 29 March se 5 April tak khele jayenge.
Nayi T20I Captaincy Ka Reason
“Salman aur Shadab ko T20I captain aur vice-captain banane ka faisla do bade upcoming tournaments – ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup 2025 (September 2025) aur ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 (February/March 2026) – ko dhyan mein rakhte hue liya gaya hai. Salman pehle bhi Pakistan ki captaincy kar chuke hain Zimbabwe ke khilaf ek T20I series mein pichle saal, jismein Pakistan ne 2-1 se jeet hasil ki thi,” Pakistan Cricket Board ne ek release mein kaha.
World Cup 2026 Ki Taiyariyan Shuru
ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 ki taiyari ke liye, Pakistan kam se kam paanch T20I ACC Asia Cup 2025 mein aur teen-teen T20I Bangladesh (home, May), West Indies (away, July), Afghanistan (home, August), Ireland (home, September), South Africa (home, September/October), Sri Lanka (home, November) aur Australia (home, January 2026) ke khilaf khelega.
Rizwan ODI Team Ko Lead Karte Rahenge
Rizwan ODI team ko lead karte rahenge kyunki Pakistan ICC Men’s 50-over Cricket World Cup 2027 ki taiyari kar raha hai, jo Namibia, South Africa aur Zimbabwe mein October/November 2027 mein hoga.
Coaching Staff Mein Bhi Badlaav
Aqib Javed interim head coach bane rahenge New Zealand tour ke liye. Unka original term ICC Champions Trophy 2025 tak tha, lekin unhe apna tenure badhane ke liye kaha gaya hai jab tak permanent head coach ki talash jaari hai. Mohammad Yousuf ko batting coach banaya gaya hai.
