NEW DELHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board on Wednesday unveiled a 15 member squad for the upcoming three match away ODI series against Bangladesh national cricket team, beginning March 11, with six uncapped players earning call ups.

After days of uncertainty over the tour due to flight disruptions linked to the Iran war, the PCB confirmed the squad and put speculation to rest.

The decision to induct six new faces suggests a clear shake up following Pakistan’s disappointing T20 World Cup campaign, where they bowed out at the Super 8 stage.

The uncapped players are Maaz Sadaqat, Shamyl Hussain, Ghazi Ghori, Saad Masood and Abdul Samad, all of whom recently featured for Pakistan Shaheens against England Lions in Abu Dhabi. That series was called off with three ODIs remaining because of regional tensions.

Selectors have also brought back fast bowler Haris Rauf and batter Hussain Talat. The side will be captained by Shaheen Shah Afridi.

The team is scheduled to leave for Dhaka on March 9, with all three ODIs to be played at the Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

Squad: Shaheen Shah Afridi (captain), Abdul Samad, Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Faisal Akram, Haris Rauf, Hussain Talat, Maaz Sadaqat, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Muhammad Ghazi Ghori (wk), Saad Masood, Sahibzada Farhan, Salman Ali Agha and Shamyl Hussain
