In the aftermath of the Pakistan team’s loss against India in the T20 World Cup 2026, sources told Geo News on Monday that the team management is disappointed with senior players’ performance.
The management, they added, is considering benching Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi in the match against Namibia. Two to three changes are likely in the team in the match against Namibia, the sources said, adding that the management is considering giving a chance to the bench strength to prove themselves.
With preparations already commenced for the next match, the Green Shirts’ spokesperson said that the players will rest today.
Pakistan’s crucial fixture against Namibia is set to take place on Wednesday at the Sinhalese Sports Club Cricket Ground, and a victory is essential for the 2009 champions to secure their place in the Super Eight phase.
However, even a rain-affected result would be enough to see them progress.
The speculation over changes follows a disappointing display with both bat and ball against arch-rivals India on Sunday.
