Following his impressive bowling performance in the recently-concluded five-match T20I series against New Zealand, Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has been added to team’s squad for a three-match ODI series against Black Caps. Initially, Rauf was only picked for T20Is, and not considered for ODIs due to disappointing performances in the Champions Trophy. However, he has joined the ODI squad.

He performed nicely in the recently-concluded T20I series, emerging as the leading wicket-taker with seven wickets. Meanwhile, New Zealand finished the T20I series 4-1. The ODI series, which will begin on Saturday, will also see the return of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, who had been dropped for T20Is.

Pakistan ODI squad: Mohammad Rizwan (c), Salman Ali Agha (vc), Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Akif Javed, Babar Azam, Faheem Ashraf, Imam-ul-Haq, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Muhammad Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Sufyan Moqim, Tayyab Tahir, Haris Rauf
