Lahore: Pakistan have named their squads for the upcoming home white-ball assignments, headlined by the tri-series on home soil featuring Sri Lanka and England.
Home comforts, high stakes
Pakistan’s home season is a critical block. After the Asian Games final defeat to India in Nagoya, the response in front of home crowds matters — for confidence as much as for combinations. The tri-series format adds jeopardy: no dead rubbers, every game shaping the final.
Selection signals
The squads reflect a balance between the core that has carried Pakistan’s white-ball sides and fresh options being trialled ahead of the World Cup cycle. With the 2027 World Cup in Africa on the horizon, these home games are auditions as much as contests.
The tri-series landscape
Sri Lanka arrive with a new-look ODI squad and England with a reshuffled unit — both beatable, both dangerous. For Pakistan, winning at home is the minimum expectation; winning with clarity about their best XI would be the real prize.
