Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced a 16-member squad for the three-match ODI series scheduled to be played in Karachi.
Uncapped Tayyab Tahir has earned his maiden call while, leg-spinner Usama Mir has also been named in the squad in place of injured Shadab Khan.
“I spoke to Shadab this morning, he wasn’t feeling comfortable due to finger injury, that’s why he is not selected for the series against New Zealand,” said interim chairman of selectors Shahid Afridi.
