Lahore: The potential bowling lineup for Pakistan in the inaugural T20I of the upcoming five-match series against New Zealand, scheduled for January 12 in Auckland, has been disclosed.
The primary pace trio anticipated to spearhead the attack includes captain Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, accompanied by Zaman Khan.
Aamer Jamal is set to add an all-round dimension to the attack, contributing with both bat and ball.
During practice sessions, Shaheen, Haris, and Zaman bowled with the new ball in one group, while the other contingent comprised Mohammad Wasim Jr, Aamer Jamal, and Abbas Afridi at a separate practice net.
Usama Mir is likely to be preferred over Mohammad Nawaz as the chosen spinner for the opening match.
