Islamabad, October 8, 2025:
Sources within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have indicated that fast bowler Haris Rauf may be dropped from the upcoming T20 series against South Africa.
Team management and selectors are reportedly concerned about Rauf’s recent dip in form and high economy rate during the Asia Cup. Although he managed to take wickets, his inability to contain runs in crucial moments has raised questions about his role in the squad.
Selectors are said to be considering younger pace options, including Mohammad Wasim Jr. and Abbas Afridi, as part of efforts to strengthen Pakistan’s T20 bowling lineup.
An official announcement regarding the final T20 squad is expected soon, with sources suggesting that a few more changes could be made to balance experience with fresh talent.
