Pakistan unveil Shan Masood-led Test squad for Australia tour, eye fresh start after disappointing World Cup
Lahore: Under a new skipper in Shan Masood, Pakistan on Monday named a squad of fresh faces for a tough tour of Australia starting next month, seeking a fresh start after a disastrous World Cup campaign.
Following the World Cup where Pakistan lost five of their nine matches and finished fifth, the country’s cricket board overhauled the national team, with Babar Azam resigning as captain of all three formats.
Team director Mickey Arthur and head coach Grant Bradburn have been removed from their positions with former skipper Mohammad Hafeez taking over both their roles.
Masood was given the reins of the Test captaincy while Shaheen Shah Afridi was appointed Twenty20 captain.
