Quick Glance: Return of Tainted Pacer: Pakistan Names Squad for New Zealand T20Is

Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim make comeback as Pakistan names squad for NZ T20Is.

Star pacer Mohammad Amir and all-rounder Imad Wasim make sensational comebacks in cricket as they are named in Pakistan's 17-player squad for the five-T20I series against New Zealand.

Babar Azam also makes a comeback as the captain of Pakistan in the white-ball formats and will lead the team in the upcoming series against New Zealand at home.

Haris Rauf, recently reinstated in Pakistan's central contract list, fails to make the cut as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury that cut short his Pakistan Super League (PSL) campaign.
