LAHORE: Pakistan left out express pacer Haris Rauf from the 15-man squad named Sunday for next month’s Twenty20 World Cup jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
The 32-year-old finished with 20 wickets in the Big Bash League in Australia but selector Aaqib Javed said Rauf doesn’t fit in the combination.
“Rauf has played a lot of cricket for Pakistan but we kept conditions in Sri Lanka in mind while selecting the squad,” Javed told a news conference.
Rauf is also the highest wicket-taker for Pakistan in T20I cricket with 133 in 94 matches.
Salman Agha will lead the squad.
