Pakistan is going to play a T20 and One Day series with Australia and Zimbabwe. They announced the team for the Australia tour without a captain. Players like Babar Azam and Haris Rauf returned to the Pakistani team. Babar was recently decided to be dropped from the team during the Test series against England.
After the three-Test series against England, the Pakistan cricket team has announced the squad for the Australia and Zimbabwe tour. Babar Azam has returned to the team for the Australia tour. However, the captain has not been announced for either the ODI or T20 team for both the Australia and Zimbabwe tours.
