The Pakistani selectors included three uncapped players in a 15-member squad announced on Monday for the scheduled three-match T20 series against the West Indies from Sunday. All the three uncapped players, left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, all-rounder Hussain Talat and hard-hitting batsman Asif Ali performed impressively in the third Pakistan Super League that concluded on Sunday with the final at the national stadium in Karachi.
Asif struck an eight-ball 26 with four sixes to lead Islamabad United to their second PSL title against Peshawar Zalmi in an exciting final played out before a packed crowd celebrating its first big-time cricket match in nine years.
The selectors also rewarded left-arm pacer Rahat Ali for his impressive bowling in the PSL, as he makes a comeback to the team after last playing in Australia in December 2016.
The three T20 games against the West Indies will be played on April 1, 2 and 3.
