However, Team India has asked for more time from ICC to select the squad. Amidst all this, big news related to Pakistan cricket team has come out. Pakistan has not announced the team and has submitted the squad to ICC.

Pakistan silently handed over the squad to ICC

According to Pakistani media reports, Pakistan will announce its final team only after the recovery of young batsman Saim Ayub. In such a situation, he has currently sent the draft team to ICC. Only after taking the final decision on Saim Ayub, the Pakistan Cricket Board will send the names of the players to the ICC and then announce the team. Ayub's participation depends on his fitness. He was recently injured in the Test played against South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town.

These players got place

Pakistan Cricket Board has included senior players like Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman in the draft squad for the Champions Trophy. Kamran Ghulam, Saim Ayub, Salman Agha, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah are also part of it. But out of these, only 15 players will get a place in the final squad, which means 5 players are certain to be dropped from this team.
