The Pakistan cricket team has set off for Hong Kong, traveling via Bangkok to participate in the Hong Kong Sixes Tournament.
Under the leadership of captain Faheem Ashraf, the team embarked on their journey last night. The squad includes players such as Asif Ali, Aamir Yamin, Danish Aziz, Hussain Talat, Shahab Khan, and Mohammad Ikhlaq.
The Hong Kong Sixes Tournament will take place from November 1 to November 3, featuring 12 teams divided into four groups. Pakistan is in Pool C, alongside India and the UAE. Their first match is against the UAE on November 1, followed by a clash with India later that same day.
The top two teams from each group will progress to the quarterfinals, scheduled for November 2, while the semifinals and final will occur on November 3.
Meanwhile, members of the Pakistan ODI squad arrived in Melbourne yesterday for their upcoming series against Australia, with the remaining players set to depart today, as stated by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi met with the newly appointed white-ball captain Muhammad Rizwan and vice-captain Salman Ali Agha to extend his best wishes and highlight the honor of leading the national team.
The PCB has also announced the squads for the upcoming tours to Australia and Zimbabwe, with key players returning and emerging domestic talent making the roster.
Pakistan’s white-ball teams will play three ODIs and three T20Is on their tours in November and December.
The team will face Australia from November 4 to 18 before heading to Zimbabwe for matches from November 24 to December 5.
These tours are considered crucial preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy, as selectors aim to balance experienced players with new talent in their strategy.
