Pakistan announce squad for T20I against England

The national selection committee ignored former T20 captain Shahid Afridi along with middle-order batsman Umar Akmal and opener Ahmad Shahzad while selecting a team for the one-off T20I against England.

Pakistan crashed to a 169-run defeat in the third ODI against England, who had earlier amassed a world record total of 444 runs. The loss also meant that England has taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match ODI series.

Ahmad Shahzad and Umar Akmal were dropped from the squad on disciplinary grounds after the World T20.
