Salman Ali Agha leads Pakistan. They have made one change from the squad that faced the Proteas, releasing Hasan Nawaz due to his poor form. Dashing opener Fakhar Zaman, who was in reserves, has been called back into the 20-over set-up. There is no place for the speedster Haris Rauf in the T20I unit, despite his commendable performance in the ODIs. Stalwart Babar Azam, who recently returned to the T20I set-up and scored a match-winning 68 in the series decider against South Africa, will again be in the limelight. The Men in Green have trusted Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan to open for a while. It will be interesting to see where Fakhar bats. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Wasm Jnr and Faheem Ashraf have been in form with the ball, while Mohammad Nawaz and Abrar Ahmed have been doing well in the spin department. We also saw mystery spinner Usman Tariq's skills in one of the T20Is recently. On the flip side, Zimbabwe were dealt a massive blow ahead of the competition. Seamer Blessing Muzarabani has been ruled out of the Tri-Series after sustaining a back injury. Newman Nyamhuri is coming in as his replacement. This is the only change from the squad that recently faced Afghanistan at home. The Sikandar Raza-led unit was clean-swept by Afghanistan in a three-match T20I series. Raza, as always, has been the lone warrior. His all-rounder prowess will again hold the key in Pakistan. Brendan Taylor is yet to leave his mark against big teams since his return, while the 39-year-old leg-spinner Graeme Cremer is still awaiting his first international appearance after giving up on cricket seven years ago. Cremer recently returned to the squad for the Afghanistan series but was on the bench for all three games. Veteran Sean Williams' career was recently ended after he was found guilty of drug addiction. Along with Raza, all-rounders Brian Bennett and Ryan Burl need to step up. Tadiwanashe Marumani, Dion Myers & Clive Madande have been with the team for a long time, and these guys need to come in as support to their skipper. Left-arm spinner Wellington Masakadza is another key figure in the spin department. In the absence of Muzarabani, the weight of pace-bowling completely drops on Richard Ngarava and Brad Evans.
