Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has unveiled his lineup for Pakistan's highly anticipated T20 World Cup showdown against arch-rivals India today at the Nassau County International Stadium.
Latif took to the social media platform 'X' and shared his team for the crucial match.
The former wicketkeeper-batter has opted to include all-rounder Imad Wasim in place of Azam Khan. Latif pointed to Khan's recent slump in form, noting the wicketkeeper-batter's struggle in his last six matches, where he was dismissed for a duck on three occasions.
