KARACHI: Pakistan will announce their ODI squad for a five-match series against visiting Zimbabwe by January 16, a top PCB official said here on Friday.

The official said that the members of the national selection committee will meet in Lahore during a brief training camp to decide the squad for the series getting underway from January 21 in Karachi.

He said that the PCB will name the Patron’s XI squad today (Saturday) for a four-day game against the Zimbabweans scheduled to begin here at the Defence Stadium from January 14. According to the officials the squad will mostly include the top performers of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.

“We will give some of the talented youngsters a chance by fielding them in the four-day match,” said the official. “But the (Patron’s XI) squad will also include two or three senior players because we also want some experienced cricketers to lead the youngsters.”
