The series will start from 29 January at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore and will run until 1 February, with matches starting at 4 pm PKT and the coin toss at 3.30pm PST. Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi return to the T20I squad after missing the three-match series in Sri Lanka earlier this month. Their comeback strengthens Pakistan’s lineup ahead of the home series.

Shadab Khan will continue his recent comeback and join a strong spin-bowling group, including Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, and Usman Tariq. The squad aims to combine experience with emerging talent.
