Pakistan is scheduled to play a T20 series against Ireland from May 10. Pakistan team will reach England after playing three T20 matches against Ireland. England and Pakistan will play 4 T20 matches between May 22 and May 30.
Mohammad Haris has not been included in the Pakistan squad for the England-Ireland tour. Captain Babar Azam has clarified this. He said, ‘I think after the T20 World Cup 2022, Harris doesn’t get much chance. Haris is formed in the top order where apart from me Mohammad Rizwan, Saim, Fakhar Zaman are also there. Due to this he got few opportunities. When he (Haris) got opportunities in the PSL, he couldn’t capitalize on them either.
