The PCB overhauled the entire management and the support staff. They made changes to their leadership after Babar Azam stepped down as the skipper of the team after enduring a forgetful World Cup campaign. Pakistan’s loss to Afghanistan was one of their lowest points in the tournament.

Former pacer Wahad Riaz was named the new PCB Chief while former skipper Mohammad Hafeez became the new Team Director. Shan Masood was named the new captain for the Test side while Shaheen Afridi was named the captain of the T20I side.

“The squad has been assembled keeping in mind the challenging Australian conditions. We have kept the pitches in mind and added more pace bowling resources to the team to ensure that the management can be flexible with the team combinations in all three Test matches,” Chief Selector Wahab Riaz said on the squad selected for the Test series against Australia.

“We hope that the team can carry this momentum ahead in Australia as well. We have tried to ensure that the team has all relevant resources to find success in Australia,” Riaz further said.
