Young players like Abdul Samad, Irfan Khan, Akif Javed, Sufyan Muqeem, Muhammad Waseem, Hasan Nawaz, Muhammad Haris, and Jahandad Khan have been given an opportunity. These players haven’t had many chances in ODIs or T20Is before, but now they have a golden opportunity to prove themselves as match-winners with great potential.
