Fans Will Not See Shaheen, Babar, Rizwan, & Shan In Remaining Matches Of Champions Cup

Fans Will Not See Shaheen, Babar, Rizwan, & Shan In Remaining Matches Of Champions Cup

Pakistan’s red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie has asked the Pakistan Cricket Board to give rest to the players that are a part of the PAK vs ENG 1st test squad

"With a busy domestic and international cricket schedule, it makes sense to give our players some much-needed rest ahead of the Test series against England," head coach Jason Gillespie said as quoted by ICC.

The Champions Cup 2024 has finally entered its last stage with only three matches left to be played. 

10 of the 15 players selected for the Pakistan vs England 1st test are key members of their Champions Cup teams.

With the official announcement of the Pakistan squad for PAK vs ENG 1st test coming on the day of the 1st knockout match, the selected players will have to sit out the remaining matches. 

The players expected to be rested for each team are:

Lions: Shaheen Afridi, Abdullah Shafique, and Aamer Jamal

Stallions: Shan Masood, Babar Azam, and Abrar Ahmed

Panthers: Saim Ayub

Markhors: Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Salman Ali Agha

Pakistan squad for the 1st test against England will be led by Shan Masood, while Saud Shakeel will take on the role of vice captain. 

Saud Shakeel didn’t have a good time during the Champions Cup as his own team failed to qualify for the knockout stage. 

Let’s see if he can create some magic in the upcoming Pakistan vs England test series.
