But there are high chances that Sohaib Maqsood will also be left out after he suffered an injury during the National T20 Cup.

Well-placed sources told News360 that Shoaib Malik will be included in the team due to the lack of experience in the batting side.

Sources said although the inclusion of ex-captain Sarfaraz will add weightage to the team, the recent form of Shoaib Malik has exerted pressure on the management which can make changes until October 16.
