New Faces Join NZ Squad as Allen, Milne Suffer Setbacks

News Desk 

Islamabad: Two of New Zealand’s key players, Finn Allen and Adam Milne, have been ruled out of the T20I series against Pakistan starting next week and have been replaced by wicketkeeper Tom Blundell and all-rounder Zach Foulkes.

It seems like New Zealand has brought in Tom Blundell and Zach Foulkes as replacements.

Blundell has prior experience, having toured Pakistan last year, while this marks Foulkes’ first inclusion in the squad.

Injuries are always a setback, especially when it comes to key players like Allen and Milne, who have been instrumental in New Zealand’s T20 endeavors since the last World Cup.

It will be interesting to see how the new additions fare in the upcoming series against Pakistan, which is scheduled to kick off on April 18th in Rawalpindi.

Here are the squads for both teams:

Babar Azam, Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Muhammad Abbas Afridi, Muhammad Rizwan, Muhammad Aamir, Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Saeem Ayub, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Usman Khan, Zaman Khan, Osama Mir

Reserve Category: Haseebullah, Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Wasim Jr., Sahibzada Farhan, Salman Ali Agha

New Zealand Squad:
