Selection Committee to announce squad for South Africa series today

The Pakistan chief selector will announce the 20-member Test squad for the South Africa series today in Karachi.

This will be the first team selection by Mohammad Wasim who took charge of this difficult post in November after Misbah-ul-Haq’s role was restricted as head coach of the Pakistan cricket team. Pakistan and South Africa will play a series of two Test matches and three Twenty20 Internationals. The first Test will be played in Karachi from January 26.

The new Chief Selector said that Pakistan will not take it easy with South Africa and the team will feature a good combination of players for success in the series. Wasim will announce first a 20-member Test squad in Karachi and later the 16-member team.

He further said “We will try our best not to repeat the mistakes which we committed on the tour of New Zealand.”
