Pakistan Cricket News, Rankings & Squad Updates

Pakistan’s cricket scene is buzzing right now. From record‑breaking moves in the ICC T20I rankings to a bold new Asia Cup squad, fans have a lot to talk about. Below we break down the biggest stories so you can catch up fast.

Mohammad Haris rockets up the rankings

After a stunning 107* against Bangladesh, 22‑year‑old Mohammad Haris vaulted 210 places to land at No. 30 in the ICC T20I batting rankings. The innings was the second‑fastest hundred for Pakistan in the format and the first by a non‑opener. Haris’ surge shows how a single explosive knock can rewrite a player’s profile overnight. Alongside him, Salman Ali Agha, Abbas Afridi and others also rose, highlighting a deeper pool of aggressive talent.

Asia Cup 2025 squad shake‑up

Pakistan announced a surprising line‑up for the upcoming Asia Cup in the UAE. Salman Ali Agha takes the captain’s armband, while longtime leaders Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are left out. Shaheen Shah Afridi makes a comeback, adding pace depth to a side that now leans heavily on power‑hitting and all‑round versatility. The group places Pakistan with India, Oman and the UAE, so every selection counts.

These changes signal a reset ahead of the T20 World Cup next year. The board seems keen on fresh leadership and a blend of youth and experience. Fans can expect more aggressive batting and a stronger focus on death‑overs bowling.

Beyond the rankings and squad news, Pakistan’s players are making waves elsewhere. Shaheen Afridi’s recent on‑field clash in the Tri‑Nation Series earned him an ICC fine but no ban, showing his competitive edge stays high. Meanwhile, the team’s overall performance in the series kept them in contention for the final.

What does this all mean for you, the reader? If you follow Pakistan cricket, you’ll see a side that’s willing to take risks to climb back to the top. Keep an eye on Haris for more big knocks, watch Agha’s captaincy decisions, and expect Shaheen to lead the pace attack with gusto.
