Pakistan National Cricket Team have come under massive pressure following their debacle in the ICC Champions <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/vijay-hazare-trophy-2025-how-to-stream-virat-kohli-s-matches-without-paying-a-single-rupee-in-india/" title="Trophy 2025" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">Trophy 2025</a>. The Host nation of the tournament got eliminated within the first five days, and it was the first time that the hosts failed to win a single game in the tournament. 
Pakistan National Cricket Team ended the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 without a single win. The Mohammad Rizwan-led side faced two back-to-back losses <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-nz-list-of-13-huge-milestones-virat-kohli-can-achieve-in-odi-series-against-new-zealand-/" title="against New Zealand" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">against New Zealand</a> and India before their last league game against Bangladesh got washed out due to rain. 
However, with the Pakistan National Cricket Team facing a lot of criticism, a report in Cricket Pakistan has suggested a massive thing. It is learned that the Men in Green is all set to undergo an overhaul in the white-ball Team, especially with some big players in the team. 
The reports claimed that the likes of Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah are all set to be excluded from the team. Their spots in the team are now questionable, and there are chances that he might not be picked for the next series that Pakistan plays. 
<h2>Mohammad Rizwan also was unhappy with him not being involved in selection matters</h2>
It is learned that captain Mohammad Rizwan also was unhappy with him not being involved in selection matters. The reports claimed that he didn't want Faheem Ashraf in the team but selectors picked the all-rounder without consulting him. 
There also have been several reports that claimed that PCB is all set to sack Aaqib Javed as the head coach. His contract as an interim coach ended on 27th February and it is learned that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) won't be renewing his contract and will be looking for a new coach.

Pakistan National Cricket Team have come under massive pressure following their debacle in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Pakistan National Cricket Team ended the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 without a single win.

Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah are unlikely to be part of the plans as PCB is all set to overhaul

babar-azam-shaheen-afridi-and-naseem-shah-are-unlikely-to-be-part-of-the-plans-as-pcb-is-all-set-to-overhaul-

<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/asia-cup-2025/">Asia Cup 2025</a> is going to start from September 09, 2025, in the UAE. Pakistan has been a hot topic for fans as the key players were not added in the squad, and the team's performance is not upto the mark in recent times. The Players like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are missing from the Pakistan Squad for the Asia Cup 2025.
Pakistan has been struggling a lot in the ICC Tournaments in the past few years; they also failed to qualify even for the knockouts in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 last year. However, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/pakistan/">Pakistan</a> is trying to go with a new and young team this time and will be hoping to win the trophy.
A lot of quality players were ignored by the Pakistan Cricket Board (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan_Cricket_Board" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PCB</a>) while announcing the Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 Squad. Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, and Iftikhar Ahmed, who used to be the backbone of Pakistan's middle order in the past few years but, aren't in the team now.
<h2>The Babar Azam and Rizwan Controversy?</h2>
Before the squad was announced, everyone was expecting both the star players in the team but this move by PCB shocked everyone as the selectors aimed at rebuilding and trying new players ahead of the important tournaments like the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/big-blow-for-india-washington-sundar-ruled-out-of-the-ind-vs-nz-t20is-doubtful-for-t20-world-cup-2026/" title="T20 World Cup 2026" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">T20 World Cup 2026</a>.

Salman Ali Agha will be leading the Pakistan National Cricket Team in the Asia Cup 2025, he is a young talent player, but again, his form is a huge concern for the team. In the UAE T20I Tri-Series 2025, except for the first game, where he played a good knock of 53 runs, he scored a total of 32 runs in the next three games.
Despite all of this, He is doing good captaincy, using his players effectively in the matches, especially in the pressure games. This is a good opportunity for him to lead the Pakistan Cricket Team at the world stage in all-format.
<h2>Pakistan Squad for the Asia Cup 2025:</h2>
Salman Ali Agha (Captain), Shaheen Afridi, Saim Ayub, Abrar Ahmed, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Hasan Nawaz, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Haris (WK), Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Sahibzada Farhan, Hussain Talat, Salman Mirza, Faheem Ashraf, Sufyan Moqim.

Asia Cup 2025 Pakistan Ignored XI | {PC: GettyImages}

Asia Cup 2025 is around the corner, and fans are excited to see their favorite competing for the trophy in the UAE. However, Teams like Pakistan didn't add their star players like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in the Pakistan Squad for the Asia Cup 2025.

Asia Cup 2025 Pakistan Ignored XI, Babar Azam Named as Captain

asia-cup-2025-pakistan-ignored-xi-babar-azam-named-as-captain-

The excitement is building as Pakistan prepares to host South Africa in the first T20I at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on October 28. This series marks the beginning of Pakistan’s home season, followed by a tri-series later in November.
The major talking point ahead of the opener is the return of Babar Azam to the T20I squad after missing the recent Asia Cup. His inclusion has sparked renewed optimism among fans and selectors alike, as the former captain looks to cement his place for next year’s <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/tristan-stubbs-shockingly-dropped-as-south-africa-announce-squad-for-t20-world-cup-2026/" title="T20 World Cup" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">T20 World Cup</a>. With his experience and consistency at the top, Babar’s comeback adds strength and confidence to Pakistan’s batting order.
Along with Babar, pacer Naseem Shah also makes a much-awaited return after being sidelined for months due to injury. Naseem’s ability to swing the ball at high pace gives Pakistan a strong edge with the new ball. Mohammad Wasim Jr has also been recalled, bringing balance to the lineup with his all-round ability.
The selection of young talents like Abdul Samad and uncapped player Usman Tariq shows Pakistan’s intent to build a strong core for the upcoming global tournaments. With the Rawalpindi pitch known for its batting-friendly surface, fans can expect a high-scoring and entertaining encounter between the two sides.
<h2>Pakistan’s Probable Playing11</h2>
Sahibzada Farhan: The right-handed opener has been in good form and is likely to give Pakistan a solid start at the top. His positive approach suits the batting conditions in Rawalpindi.
Saim Ayub: The young left-hander brings flair and aggression to the powerplay. His ability to find gaps and play innovative shots makes him an exciting prospect.
Babar Azam: Making his much-anticipated return, Babar will aim to anchor the innings and guide the young batting lineup. His experience and class will be vital in setting a strong platform.
Salman Ali Agha (Captain): Leading the side, Salman’s calm temperament and responsible batting style will be key in holding the innings together during pressure situations.
Hasan Nawaz: The emerging batter has shown promise with his stroke play and could provide stability in the middle order. This match gives him a perfect chance to showcase his potential.
Mohammad Nawaz: The all-rounder adds depth to both departments. His left-arm spin will be useful in controlling the middle overs while his lower-order hitting can change the game’s momentum.
Faheem Ashraf: His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a valuable asset. Faheem’s knack for breaking partnerships and scoring quick runs adds balance to the team.
Shaheen Shah Afridi: The spearhead of Pakistan’s bowling attack will be looking to exploit the pace and bounce of the Rawalpindi pitch. His early breakthroughs could decide the match’s tone.
Naseem Shah: Returning from injury, Naseem’s fiery pace and swing can trouble South Africa’s top order. His partnership with Shaheen will be crucial with the new ball.
Usman Khan / Mohammad Wasim Jr: Either of the two could get a place depending on the conditions. Wasim’s all-round capability gives an extra bowling option, while Usman adds batting strength.
Abrar Ahmed: The mystery spinner brings variety to Pakistan’s attack. On a surface that generally favors batting, Abrar’s skill in deceiving batters could be a game-changer in the middle overs.
Playing11 Prediction: Shahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Salman Agha, Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Usman Khan, Abrar Ahmed

Pakistan Playing11 Prediction Against South Africa

Babar Azam and Naseem Shah return to Pakistan’s T20I squad for the home series against South Africa in Rawalpindi, strengthening a youthful lineup led by Salman Ali Agha on a batting-friendly pitch.

Babar Azam and Naseem Shah return as Pakistan face South Africa in Rawalpindi, aiming for a strong start to the home T20I series.

Will Babar Azam Play 1st T20I? Pakistan Playing11 Prediction Against South Africa

Pakistan and Sri Lanka are all set to face each other in the final of the Tri-Series 2025 in Rawalpindi, and the big question for fans is Will Naseem Shah play today? Looking at Pakistan’s recent matches and their team combination, there is a strong chance that the young fast bowler returns for the most important match of the tournament.
Pakistan finished the league stage at the top of the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ilt20-points-table-salt-pepper-combo-stunned-gg-took-abu-dhabi-in-top-4/" title="points table" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">points table</a> with 3 wins from 4 games. They defeated Zimbabwe twice and beat Sri Lanka once, before losing the final league match to Sri Lanka by just 6 runs. Their net run rate of +1.440 shows how dominant they have been.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, qualified with 2 wins and 2 losses. They had a tough start, losing their first two matches, but recovered well by beating Zimbabwe and then Pakistan in their last game.
The focus, however, is on Pakistan’s bowling changes. Mohammad Wasim Jr has not been effective with the ball, taking just one wicket in the series and leaking runs at an economy rate of 7.58. In a high-pressure final, Pakistan will want their strongest bowling lineup, and this is why Naseem Shah is expected to return. His pace and wicket-taking ability make him a natural choice for a do-or-die match.
Abrar Ahmed is also likely to keep his place after an excellent spell of 2 for 28 in the previous game. His control over spin gives Pakistan variety in the middle overs. The only uncertainty is around Shaheen Afridi. The left-arm pacer has missed two games due to a foot injury. If he passes his fitness test, he will walk straight into the playing XI. If not, Salman Mirza will continue in his role.
Sri Lanka will rely on Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, and Wanindu Hasaranga, while Pakistan’s batting looks stable with Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Babar Azam, and captain Salman Ali Agha performing consistently.
Overall, Pakistan are expected to field their strongest possible combination as they look to lift the trophy at home.
Probable Pakistan Playing 11: Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Babar Azam, Salman Ali Agha (C), Usman Khan (WK), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afridi (If not fit: Salman Mirza), Abrar Ahmed.
