New Delhi: New Zealand and Pakistan are set to clash in the opening match of their five-game T20I series on March 16. Both sides have introduced significant changes to their squads, opting for fresh faces. The Pakistan Cricket Board made bold selection calls, leaving out senior players like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan following recent underwhelming performances. Meanwhile, New Zealand has also assembled an inexperienced squad, with several key players unavailable due to IPL commitments. Pakistan will be led by Salman Ali Agha, while all-rounder Michael Bracewell will take charge of the Black Caps.
