After resigning as white-ball captain four weeks ago, Babar Azam is selected for limited overs squad to tour Australia.
Former skipper Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi were named in Pakistan’s squad for the November limited-overs series in Australia after being dropped from the last two Tests against England.
However, selectors said the duo will be rested for the limited-overs matches in the Zimbabwe tour later next month.
A new captain for Pakistan’s white-ball format will be announced later on Sunday to replace Azam, 30, who resigned earlier this month after a second stint in the post.
Pakistan open the Australia tour with three one-day internationals in Melbourne (November 4), Adelaide (November 8) and Perth (November 10).
That will be followed by three Twenty20 internationals in Brisbane (November 14), Sydney (November 16) and Hobart (November 18).
