The Pakistan Cricket Board announce its 15-man squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup, scheduled to be held in England and Wales from 30th May 2019.
Pakistan is the sixth-ranked ODI team and are set to play their first match against West Indies on 31st May 2019 at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
Fast bowler Mohammad Amir has been dropped out from Pakistan’s 15-man preliminary squad for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, however, he has been included for their ODI series against England. The big-hitting Asif Ali is also part of the 17 to face England but not the 15 to contest the World Cup.
Pacer Hasnain has been selected due to his sheer pace and speed,” said Inzamam-ul-Haq, chairman of Pakistan’s men’s selection committee. “He may not have played many ODIs but he has already made an impact by making the top batsmen hop and run in his brief career while also picking up wickets.”
