Pakistan squad for Asia Cup 2025 and the Salman Cup, both set to ignite the cricketing stage in the UAE. Leading the charge is Ali Agha, who will captain the side in the UAE tri-series (August 29 to September 7) against the UAE and Afghanistan, followed by the prestigious eight-team Asia Cup from September 9 to 28. Pakistan finds itself in Group A alongside Oman, India, and the UAE, promising thrilling encounters.

The squad boasts a blend of seasoned stars and vibrant young talent. Fakhar Zaman, now fully recovered from a hamstring injury sustained in the Caribbean, joins pace spearheads Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, and all-rounder Faheem Ashraf to bolster the lineup. Emerging sensations Saim Ayub, Hasan Nawaz, and Mohammad Haris are poised to make a bold statement on the international stage.

Notably, senior stalwarts Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been rested for the Asia Cup, having last played in the format during Pakistan’s tour of South Africa in December 2024. This strategic move signals Pakistan’s intent to nurture fresh talent while maintaining a competitive edge. With a perfect mix of experience and youthful exuberance, the Men in Green are ready to dazzle in the UAE’s cricketing carnival.
