Chief of the Pakistan Selection Committee Mohammad Wasim, while talking about the inclusion of uncapped players in the squad, said that they have rewarded Haris and Asif for their consistent performance in the domestic circuit.

This is a reward for their hard work and consistent performances in the domestic circuit, Their selections are also a message for all domestic players that their performances are being followed and whenever an opportunity arises, they will be rewarded with a national team call-up.

“Australia are an equally outstanding team in the shorter formats of the game and, as such, we have decided to go with the best available and most experienced players. The four white-ball matches have significant context as the 50-over games count towards the 2023 World Cup qualification and the 20-over will be a repeat of the ICC Men’s T20 WC 2021 semi-final.”
