ACC Men’s Emerging: The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced their 15-man roster for the next ACC Men’s Emerging Asia Cup 2023, which will be held in Sri Lanka from July 14 to July 23. Eight countries will compete for the trophy with their ‘A’ squads. The Pakistan Shaheens, or ‘A’ squad, will be captained by wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Haris.
The 22-year-old has played five ODIs and nine T20Is for Pakistan. While Haris has not had a fantastic start to his international career, many who have seen him play are optimistic about his future. In April and May, he was a member of the ODI and T20I sides that faced New Zealand at home.
Haris’ deputy has been selected Omair Yousuf, a brilliant 24-year-old batsman. Yousuf has yet to play international cricket. However, he has impressive statistics in first-class cricket and domestic T20s. The right-hander has 2687 runs scored at an average of 43.33 in 40 first-class games. Yousuf has 290 runs in 10 innings in T20s, with an average of 41.42 and a strike rate of 145. He scored 275 runs in four matches for Pakistan A in their recent series against Zimbabwe A.
Another name to keep an eye on in the team is Shahnawaz Dahani. In Pakistan’s domestic circuit, the tall right-arm bowler is one of the quickest. The 24-year-old has represented Pakistan in two ODIs and 11 T20Is.
In May, the Pakistan A team toured Zimbabwe. They lost 4-2 in six 50-over games against Zimbabwe A. It should be noted, however, that the host team used the majority of its senior players, including Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza, and Sean Williams.
On July 16, Pakistan Shaheens will meet India A.
On July 16, the ACC Men’s Emerging Asia Cup 2023 will feature a high-octane game between India A and Pakistan Shaheens. Both teams are in Group A with Nepal A and Sri Lanka A.
