LAHORE – Tickets for five-match T20 international series between Pakistan and New Zealand have been made available for purchase at 36 designated centers of a courier company.
These centers are located in Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Multan, Peshawar and Karachi.
The fans can visit any designated center and buy physical tickets for the T20I series.
Additionally, the pre-booked online tickets can also be picked from the same centres. First match of the five-match series will be played in Rawalpindi on 18th of this month.
Pakistan officially has yet to announce its squad against New Zealand. However, there are reports about the expected squad against the visiting team.
The recent returnees from international retirement, left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir and all-rounder Imad Wasim, are likely to receive significant playing time to regain match fitness required for international cricket.
Haris Rauf is still recovering from injuries sustained during the ninth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), while Fakhar Zaman’s inclusion remains uncertain due to his ongoing battle to regain fitness after an injury during the recent PSL season.
Usman Khan is a probable inclusion in the squad and is expected to bat at the number four spot in the playing XI against New Zealand. Naqvi stated, “Usman Khan is definitely being considered for the squad.”
Certain players like Babar Azam, Usman Khan, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Saim Ayub, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah are confirmed to be part of the squad.
Besides it, Agha Salman, Sahibzada Farhan, Irfan Khan Niazi, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Zaman Khan, and Abbas Afridi are also being considered for inclusion in the 18-member contingent.
Either Abrar Ahmed or Usama Mir will be selected in the squad for the series.
The New Zealand team is scheduled to arrive in Pakistan on April 14th for the five-match T20 series, beginning on April 18th, with three matches slated in Pindi and the remaining two in Lahore.
