Pakistan is scheduled to tour New Zealand to play the tri-series in October. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is worried about Naseem going on that tour. The other team in the tournament in Bangladesh.

Incidentally, Naseem Shah has performed impressively in the recently concluded Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates. He took 8 wickets in five matches. However, Naseem became a superstar after hitting two sixes in the last over against Afghanistan in the Super Four to take Pakistan to the final.

After the three-match series, starting in Mohali on Tuesday, India will play another three games at home against South Africa as they continue their preparations for the T20 World Cup in Australia starting in less than a month.

“The All-India senior selection committee has named Umesh Yadav as his replacement,” the BCCI said in a statement. Fast bowler Yadav, 34, has been part of seven T20 internationals for India, the last of them in February 2019. “These two series (against Australia and South Africa) are going to be quite challenging, top teams in the world. It’s going to be a good challenge for us,” India captain Rohit Sharma told reporters.

“We have tried a lot of players and we have seen what each of those players brings to the table. We are very clear about our thought process and how we want to move forward.” India, who begins their World Cup campaign with an Oct 23 blockbuster against arch-rivals Pakistan in Melbourne, got a timely boost with batting talisman, Virat Kohli, returning to form during the Asia Cup.

Kohli, who bats at the number three spot, opened the batting for India in the Asia Cup T20 match against Afghanistan and recorded his first international hundred in nearly three years. Scores of 35, 59 not out, and 60 in three other Asia Cup outings also signaled that Kohli was getting his touch back after numerous dismal performances.

Rohit said that Kohli will be an option at the top of the order but clarified that KL Rahul remained the first choice as his opening partner.

“It’s always nice to have options available, it is very important when you go to a tournament like the World Cup. You want that flexibility,” Rohit said. “It’s an option for us; since we have not taken the third opener, he can open.â€?br /> “I don’t think we are going to experiment a lot for that position. KL Rahul will play the World Cup and will be our opener.” (

The BCCI had named VVS Laxman, who heads the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, as an assistant coach in Dravid’s absence.
Dravid “has tested negative for COVID-19 and has joined the team in Dubai” while Laxman has returned to Bengaluru, the BCCI said in a statement.
