The Pakistan T20 squad selection is gaining momentum as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly shortlisted five standout players for the upcoming home T20I series against Bangladesh, set to begin next month.
Top Performers in Contention
Leading the list is Sahibzada Farhan, who is in blistering form in Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10. He has scored 236 runs in five matches, including a century, and currently tops the global T20 run charts for 2025 with 841 runs in just 12 matches at an average of 84.10. He also made history as the first Pakistani to score four T20 centuries in a single year, joining an elite group with the likes of Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, Jos Buttler, and Shubman Gill. Though his international strike rate of 95.55 in 9 T20Is is modest, his domestic dominance has reignited calls for a comeback.

Bowling Firepower
Hasan Ali, another strong contender, leads the wicket charts in PSL 10 with 13 scalps in six games.
All-Round Strength
All-rounders Hussain Talat and Faheem Ashraf are also under serious consideration. Talat, representing Peshawar Zalmi, has amassed 193 runs in six PSL 10 matches. He hasn’t played a T20I since 2021 but has impressed selectors with his consistent middle-order contributions.
Faheem Ashraf of Quetta Gladiators offers dual value. He has scored 68 runs and taken six wickets this season, positioning himself as a reliable all-round option for the team.
Young Talent Emerging
Ali Raza, a promising prospect, is also on the PCB’s radar, though specific stats from PSL 10 haven’t been disclosed yet. His inclusion suggests the board’s interest in grooming fresh talent for future T20I campaigns.
