A number of key players have been included as Pakistan unveiled their white-ball squads for upcoming home fixtures across the next month.

Former skipper Babar Azam and pacer Naseem Shah are the big names to return to the T20I fold, while pacer Haris Rauf is among three players named in the ODI squad that will take on South Africa and Sri Lanka.

Pakistan will play South Africa in six white-ball matches (three T20Is and three ODIs) from October 28 to November 8, before facing Sri Lanka in another three 50-over contests from November 11 to 15.

Rawalpindi and Lahore will then host a T20I tri-series, featuring Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, from November 17 to 29.

Salman Ali Agha will once again captain Pakistan's T20I side following his appointment to the leadership role earlier this year.

Babar and Naseem were not considered for selection in the recent T20I fixtures against the West Indies and Asia Cup 2025, but they are back in the scheme of things just months away from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

Rauf is one of three players selected for an ODI comeback, alongside Faisal Akram and Haseebullah. The series against South Africa will mark Shaheen Afridi’s debut as ODI captain for Pakistan.
