Pakistan have named their enjoying XI for the opening sport of the Asia Cup in opposition to Nepal in Multan on Wednesday. With Nepal as their opponent within the opening sport of the 2023 Asia Cup, Pakistan has prioritised batting depth. Pakistan has many bowling choices with three frontline quicks and three all-rounders who can bowl spin. The staff made a number of changes from the beginning lineup in opposition to Afghanistan within the closing ODI in Colombo. While Saud Shakeel strikes to the center order, Iftikhar Ahmed takes his place. Pakistan selected to go along with Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf, leaving no alternative for pacer Mohammad Wasim.
Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz will probably be aided by Salman Agha within the spin division.
The batting line-up has a well-known look with Iftikhar coming again into the middle-order after lacking the ultimate ODI in opposition to Afghanistan.
Pakistan XI:Babar Azam (c), Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul Haq, Mohammad Rizwan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Salman Agha, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf.
