Surprisingly, the Wicket Keeper batsman Kamran Akmal – who played an anchor role in steering Peshawar Zalmi to the PSL 2018 Final and scored 424 runs in the league – yet again failed to win the confidence of the Selectors.
The three-match T20 series between Pakistan and West Indies will be held at National Stadium in Karachi. The first T20 International will take place on April 1, second on April 2 and third on April 4.
