Shoaib Malik to miss third Bangladesh T20I

Shoaib Malik will not be available for selection for the third and final T20I match against Bangladesh today due to his son's health concerns.

Malik, who played an integral part in Pakistan's T20 campaign, left the T20I squad as he departed from Dhaka earlier today at 10 am local time.

The 39-year-old is expected to reunite with his family in Dubai later tonight.

On the flip side, Shahnawaz Dahani has been confirmed to make his debut against Bangladesh today. Former skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Usman Qadir have also been included in the playing XI.

Spinners Imad Wasim and Usman Qadir are also expected to leave for home after a few days of stay in Dubai.

Following the conclusion of today's match, the national cricket team will prepare to leave for Chittagong tomorrow afternoon.
