SaralnamaShadab Khan will replace Agha Salman as Pakistan's T20I captain in Lahore. Salman's poor performance in the Asia Cup 2025 led to this change. He scored only 72 runs in the tournament, averaging 12. Pakistan lost all three matches against India, including the final. Shadab missed the Asia Cup due to injury but is now recovering. He has played 112 T20Is, scoring 792 runs and taking 112 wickets. Shadab may return for the tri-series against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in November. This change aims to improve Pakistan's middle-order and bowling options before the T20 World Cup next year. (Updated 16 Oct 2025, 17:20 IST; source: link)
