WI vs PAK ODI Series: Pakistan Squad, Schedule, Venue, Timings in IST, PKT

WI vs PAK ODI Series: After clinching the T20I series 2-1 against West Indies in Florida, Pakistan now shifts its focus to the upcoming three-match ODI series. The contest is set to begin on August 8 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad & Tobago, which will host all three matches of the series.

In the recently concluded T20I series, Saim Ayub emerged as a key performer for Pakistan. He smashed a 49-ball 66 in the deciding third T20I and was part of a 138-run opening stand with Sahibzada Farhan (74 off 53), helping Pakistan post 189/4.

Ayub also chipped in with the ball, taking the crucial wicket of Alick Athanaze (60), as West Indies were restricted to 176/6, falling short by 13 runs.

With the T20I series behind them, both sides have now travelled to the Caribbean for the ODI leg of the tour. Pakistan's 15-member ODI squad is led by Mohammad Rizwan, with Salman Ali Agha serving as vice-captain. The team also features experienced names like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Mohammad Nawaz, along with promising talents such as Hasan Nawaz and Sufyan Muqeem.

The squad landed in the West Indies on Tuesday and will take a rest day before resuming training on Wednesday. Practice sessions are scheduled to begin at 5 PM local time at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy.
