According to Mohsin Naqvi, head of the Pakistan Cricket Board, the national team roster may be updated just before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 although captain Mohammad Rizwan has already stated his team roster. To prepare for February 19 tournament start the Pakistan team plays a tri-nation series at Gaddafi Stadium with New Zealand and South Africa.
Nationwide critics reacted strongly after Pakistan released its squad last because many players on the list came as surprises. Many cricket specialists and fans in Pakistan strongly disagreed with the team choices because they selected Faheem Ashraf and Khushdil Shah only because they performed well in the Bangladesh Premier League. According to PCB chair Naqvi, the selection panel retains full power to evaluate the present team roster as captain Rizwan wanted to keep all 15 players.
Ahead of the February 12 squad evaluation date cricket fans talk frequently about including Aamer Jamal and Shadab Khan in the line-up. During the tri-series tournament Pakistani cricket selectors will use it to check out player performances one last time before the Champions Trophy. Pakistan faces a demanding occasion even though experts rank them first in the team conflict.
