Hasan Nawaz has been dropped from Pakistan’s white-ball squads, which were announced on Sunday for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka and the T20I tri-nation series featuring Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.

Although Pakistan won both the T20I and ODI series, Hasan became a casualty of his string of low scores despite being given a decent run in white-ball cricket by the selectors.

Veteran batter Fakhar Zaman, who was named in the reserves for the South Africa T20Is, has been added to the T20I squad in Hasan’s place, while no replacement has been named for the ODI squad. Apart from that, the rest of the squad remains unchanged.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka will lock horns in the three-match ODI series, which will be held at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on 11, 13 and 15 November respectively. After the completion of this series, the tri-series will begin, with the opening two matches to be played in Rawalpindi before the tournament moves to Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium for the remaining fixtures, including the final on November 29.

Pakistan squads:

ODIs: Shaheen Shah Afridi (capt), Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Faheem Ashraf, Faisal Akram, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Haseebullah, Hussain Talat, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha

T20I tri-series: Salman Ali Agha (capt), Abdul Samad, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Mohammad Salman Mirza, Naseem Shah, Sahibzada Farhan (wk), Saim Ayub, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usman Khan (wk), Usman Tariq
