The Pakistan Cricket Board has given rest to several main players, including Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Rizwan, and Fakhar Zaman. 

The national team has included several young players, such as Saim Ayub, Azam Khan, Ihsanullah, and Zaman Khan, who performed well in the recently concluded Pakistan Super League season 8. 

Shadab hopes that the fans will rally behind these young players and support them in their cricket journey.
