Pakistan's recently-appointed chief selector Wahab Riaz has rung in the changes in his first assignment in the job as the 18-member squad picked for the upcoming three-Test tour of Australia including call-ups for 21-year-old batter Saim Ayub and 23-year-old pacer Khurram Shahzad.
Ayub, a left-handed opener, has stormed into the national side reckoning with an incredible performance in the domestic tournament - Quaid-e-Azam trophy 2023-24, with 553 runs in four matches for Karachi Whites that includes a match-winning double hundred. He carried that form into the Pakistan Cup, the one-day tournament in the domestic circuit, where he finished as the leading run-getter.
