All-rounder Khushdil Shah is likely to be included in Pakistan’s squad for the upcoming Champions Trophy. Sources reveal that Khushdil Shah may replace Saim Ayub in the final squad.

It is also reported that Shan Masood’s chances of making the squad are slim. The proposed squad has already been sent to PCB Chairman for approval, and an official announcement is expected within the next couple of days.

The Champions Trophy jersey will feature Pakistan’s name as the host, confirmed by the BCCI.

Key players such as Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Salman Agha, Kamran Ghulam, Abrar Ahmed, Sufiyan Muqeem, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah are already part of the squad. Additionally, Tayyab Tahir, Mohammad Hasnain, and Abbas Afridi are also under consideration for inclusion.
